[Verse]
You don't know about this rapping sh**, n***as get clapped and sh**
War time in the field, baby k**ed, no accident
A real n***a taught me real, said I had to practice it
I need a quarter for my daughter, the streets, they can have this sh**
You don't know how bad it is, n***as dying left and right
The heat, I gotta carry that sh**, a life for a life
These young boys don't really care and sh**, get life for a life
Sitting a hundred years in jail and sh**, sitting in a cell and sh**
Thinking in a box, gotta live life through mail and sh**
Changing life in jail, you see the lord, you've been to hell and sh**
Always been a wild child, they can never tell me sh**
Then I started rapping on 'em, school I used to fail that sh**
On the block, pills, weed, rocks, I was selling sh**
48 investigate, they knew I wasn't gon' tell them sh**
Mama stressing all the time, losing all her hair and sh**
I gotta get it, they can't tell me sh**, real n***a for life
