I was birthed in the trenches
momma kept me in the trap-
never wanted to be a rapper
I sold dope and shot craps-
toughened up by the streets
sharpened up by mistakes-
learned lessons in the game
watch out for the rats and the snakes-
The laws changing everyday
they want to put us back in bondage-
We all slaves to the dollars anyway
bills got us
like a hostage-
I was 12 with a Y.A commitment
ask my Coe D’s I was innocent-
but the system railroaded me
for financial benefit-
The well is poison
our misfortune is while we self destruct-
never had no hope
never had no luck can’t give no fuck-
BLM paid by white folks politicians only care about the white vote-
So stay blind or be woke
black power
died with pock on a side note-
gang drillers moving more zippers then the jacket from thriller-
everybody steppers and dealers
How everybody a serial killer-
ask me its played out take the wave put them boys in a drought
I don’t do the cap for clout
old rules yea I’m still on the route->
I still remember
where i came from-
did it on my own ain’t have no day one-
out of nothing had to make something-
They fake it til they make it-
It ain’t no future in it
but they stay fronting—>

84 I’m a millennial
88 it was visible
1991 shit got physical-
stealing out of stores a young criminal-
product of my environment it was ritual
Still original goofy I’m over heads no koofy
No subliminal-
been had bars
like old Folsom
and San Quentin-
hard time flow level 4
yea I’m still tripping-
big flex 32 bars wrapped in Semtex-
I’m the apex they only on point with they’re index-
my rhythm and rhyme explosive like land mines-
No vulture to my own culture so I elevate minds-
Ghetto gospel they Hardly hostile this me paying ties-
say what you like but you can’t say I’m telling lies-
I still remember
where i came from-
did it on my own ain’t have no day one-
out of nothing had to make something-
They fake it til they make it-
