I remember wild times, risking the minds of my siblings,
I was only five, but ya homie was livin’.
I skipped school back in kindergarten, wit my older brotha,
we got caught by our mother.
Lied to my neighbor to get da butter,
put it in my mama name, was only five but a brotha had game.
I went insane in third grade, cuz I found out I had fight,
my rival three years older, but I still held it right.
Left, right, left, feelin’ that hype,
bob, weave, pick up my backpack and leave.
Weave thru da street on a dirt bike I was ridin’,
up by A Mountain cross da street from da corner store slidin’.
Rappin’ wit my peeps, kickin’ it in da park,
you know how they creep, don’t be sleep after dark.
Cruisin’ in dat dark blue buggy till we finished,
bumpin’ dat *Menace to Society*, vibin’ every minute.

(Verse 2)
I got 86’d from T‑Town, so I went to Aurora,
up in da life of chaos, that was part of my aura.
Cruisin’ through the neighborhood, in a ride feelin’ live,
only fifteen, and it’s 1995.
Blue Dickie suit and some chucks,
dropped outta school like a fool, was like “what.”
Hit some high‑class spots in Cherry Creek,
came back to Aurora feelin’ fresh, feelin’ sleek.
But back in da day we would say lookin’ fat,
or lookin’ nasty, low‑profile police movin’ past me.
I ran away to be away on my own,
didn’t wanna stay and just lay at home.
Two‑Eleven Steel Reserve how I’m known,
the homies called me Steel, took that drank to the dome.
I worked at Burger King and put in all them hours,
when the check came the manager was actin’ sour.
But y’all know me, I just left the counter and booked it,
me and Junebug and his little brotha shook quick.
Cashed my check, called up the chics,
partied all night, feelin’ that lift.
Borrowed my homegirl dad’s Lincoln,
that was my life — what was I thinkin’.

(Verse 3)
In and out of trouble doin’ time for the dirt I did,
was programmed from an early age so that’s how I lived.
I heard the gospel of Christ and was told that He forgives,
so I learned from the Bible how a Christian can live.
Became a soljah, a real soljah,
took off my Dickie suits, put on God’s whole armor.
The Truth is what I’m livin’, cuz that’s what I was given,
saved all because it’s givin’ forgivin’.
Laid it all down, traded my past for a crown,
watch me now — I use the Bible to lift a rival off the ground.
Was lost but now found, the cross can unbound,
my Boss is the Boss of all bosses wit no losses.
