[Verse 1: Real Prophecy]
Aye... I'm out for green doe but I ain't trynna be no Al Pacino
Man I could write a book on how to be broke
At times I need hope
A n***a stressed, living depressed
This sh** s**s, I say life is a b**h who knows how to deep throat
The sh** I talk about is kinda deep so now the people
Wanna know how you straight from the south but your style's so east coast
Peep though, I'm not about the kilos, I doubt I need those
No hero but I never amount to evil
I'm more like Martin than Malcolm
Whatever comes out of my mouth is peaceful
Even if I had an altar ego, if you serve the streets coke
Then I'd advise you to keep your heat close
Stay low and lay low til' police ghost
I can't knock you for getting money so do what you gotta do to get it
I'm more worried bout' where the youth is headed
There's a chance it might cost em' their whole life dealing with these financial problems
Asking the government, why can't you solve em'?
Besides the dope and all the prostitutes
I wanna live my life remarkable like all the young bosses do
No life-losses, I'm not a heartless dude
The gla** is half-full or half-empty?
Well it all depends who you talking to

[Verse 2: Real Prophecy]
My posse told me coppers watch me, well I suppose so
Mafioso, my pockets broke so it got me loco
I wouldn't sell the product and lie to folks
He shoulda watched his labios when papi spoke and now he's adios
'cause he don't buy the dope or supply the coke by the boatload
Oxycodone, the sh** he smoke cannot be homegrown
You might just spend your life in jail cuz
I like to tell thugs don't portray it you not the type to sell d**
He had a local status, treat it like cake, the coke was battered
And what good is the dope if no baking soda's added
Over-dramatic, mad them folks done ratted
This wasn't supposed to happen, the life he chose was tragic
He's post-traumatic stressed out
Failed an attempt to take the success route
Don't proceed, you need not to 'cause greed got you
Hollywood thug, karma always k**
Even though he's dead he's still living in a Scarface film
You done f**ed up son... f**ed up
You know wasn't about that life...
