[Intro]

Time it makes you old

Experience makes you wise

It's only a fool who judges life

By what he sees in other people's eyes

The decisions that you cast

Affect the outcome of your game

And the only person who's gonna think about you

Is the one that's standing in your shoes

Go!


[Verse 1]

Live by the sword or die by the sword

Now I'm a weapon of my set

The only family that I've ever known

Is the gun that's by my side


[Chorus]

Little big man

He's not alone now

He's all grown up

His storiеs written all along these city walls


[Verse 2]

Found unity, hе's gained a brotherhood

As they gather to beat you down

The fists reign hard, the fighting never stops

There's no mercy in this town

And I don't know when it's gonna end for me

This side of town is all I know, it's all I see

If I go on like this, I'll end it all myself one day

It's destiny, it's reality, It's society


[Bridge]

What the fuck!

I wear my colors proud, but don't stare me down

I've got a million scars to prove my pain

You think you know who I am?

Fuck no!

Try walking a mile in my shoes


[Verse 3]

Quick on the draw

Never walk alone

Know your enemy

Never be afraid, it's what they always say

Till they come around for you

Ghetto birds light the evening sky

As the sun begins to fall

Another night in this jungle spent

With his back up against the wall


[Chorus]

Little big man

He's not alone now

He's all grown up

His stories written all along these city walls


[Outro]

The fists reign hard

Never walk alone

Know your enemy

Never be afraid, it's what they always say

Till they come around for you
