I never knew my own dad when
I was young he broke out, thats when my mom got smoked out, and
I took the street route,
I hung around with real gangstas playas and hustlas,
I guess they liked my style a lot, so they took a little nigga under the wing, eventually
I started slingin white shit, no time for school cause the hours didnt mix, so sleep late at night most nights
I didnt even sleep , thats how
I got caught up, and sold a dime to the beast.
They offered me a 1 to 3, hahaa ,
