[Intro: Big Duke]
This goes out to the streets
And soldiers!
This goes out to you!
All the fallen muthaf**as out there!
[Hook: Big Duke]
Time is short and my life is sick
That's how it is when I look at this sh**
You get abused by street platoons
Hit you like wind and whatcha gonna do?
We break circles of enemies, blocks get shot with defeat
They say no driveby's on the streets
So muthaf**as run rival sweeps
[Verse 1: Big Duke]
Sick platoons flood the streets of Los like a sick typhoon
Muthaf**as drive by, world wide
And everybody you and I know dies
The only guarantee in life is d**h, your last breath
Come when your famo least expect it
Soldier, run wild in your song
Red dawn strikes your back in dead 'nam
Your mind's flippin' but the scene's dead calm
And your whole world's thrown and wrapped in cyclone
Alright, ride through the city like that
Pants, T-shirts are creased and stole gats
L.A. undercover, shoot to k**
Child of the streets run wild in war fields
Schemin' on pigs that start sh**
Guilty, treat us all dirty, filthy
[Verse 2: Sick Jacken]
The streets are flooded with budded corrupted minds runnin'
Those who can't cut it
Leave the hoodlum studded ghetto wonderin' what is
The excuse or reason for high treason
In blasting season, leavin' one of your color bleedin'
Repeatin', never stoppin', body droppin'
'Hood rockin', window glockin', zone shockin'
Defending pavement attacking, facing arraignment
Jail's enslavement shackled for justice to the plaintiff
When the charges stick, that's it you get hit with some bid
For what you did prevent and rid some kid of his
Chance to live cuz of the block he lives in
Not giving a f**, just trying to win your block ribbon
Glock driven joinin' street platoons like it's some fashion
Going out of style so you catch it for some action
It's no joke homeboys get smoked, poked, cause they provoke
Loc'ed on dope, no hope for growth, that's why we're broke
Short pocket, street criminals fail to lock it but crime sky rockets
So where the f** is the profit?
Maybe in hands of those who supply d** and weapons
Let's take that sh** back by forming neighborhood connections
[Hook: Big Duke (x2)]
