Krayzie
Come, follow me now back in the day/ we still was thuggin', nothin' changed/
Always into
Somethin', whatever, you name it/ young thug with my niggas is one love/ lil'
Bad-ass niggas
Sneaky, a calm, collected slickster/ I might not have been on the scene, but you
Can believe I was in
The picture, in the mixture/ sellin' yayo, scrappin', carjackin', gunpackin'/
I'm lackin' everything you
Can imagine so I'm prayin', rappin' they'd get me outta this jam, damn just give
Me a chance
I'll keep 'em dancin' (dancin') all night (all night) when times get harder and
Harder, my dreams got
Further and further away/ and nigga, I chased 'em, but couldn't catch 'em to
Save my life/ so now
I'm thuggin' on this corner/ I gotta increase my financial status/ I chanced it,
Fuckin' with these rollers
When they roll up/ yeah, don't wanna be locked in no cell, but I also can't take
Strippings
And be broke with no mail/ oh, yes it's hell, and they say that gets easier
But to me it only got deeper and deeper...
-refrain-
Krayzie
Just turned 18 and caught my first case: incarcerated; caught wit a 12 gauge/
Tryin' to come up with
Some money and made a stupid-ass mistake/ could've been my niggas fate/ fuckin'
With shotguns
We out to rob some niggas/ I'm drunk/ I'm pumped/ I made a mistake and popped
Him
Now he bleedin', I see blood/ damn, get to the doctor/ nigga, don't rest in
Peace/ doctor's took him
To emergency/ coppers came and arrested me/ not knowin' if my nigga had made it
Alive and was
Well, I tossed and turned in my cell; annoyed and sweatin' like hell/ praise to
The lord, and I hope
You hear me, and I hope you feel me/ I didn't mean to, really, really/ I didn't
Mean it/ I know you seen
It/ I finally spoke to my nigga/ he lifted up, and recovered, and pressed no
Charges/ wait, the state
Done picked it up, and I gotta trial in a month, fuck/ and the judge ain't
Tryin' to give me no love
Cuz it was my first offense, but he just thinkin' he lockin' up a thug (up a
Thug)
So now I'm cuffed up on the bus (on the bus) and ridin' down '71/ ain't no
Fun...
-refrain-
Krayzie
Now I'm locked inside this prison system, bitten, count days left on my
Sentence/ now I can say
That I've been here, but I sure ain't gon' come back here, uh-uh/ the day they
Release me I'm goin'
Home/ I can cope, but I can't adjust/ these fuckin' steel doors drivin' me nuts/
My last month
I'm ready to move out, I'm sure/ stay on the low; I listen to thug stories and
Be trippin' on niggas
Love stories/ I'm fin to get out of this muthafucker/ heard 'em call out my
Name; 2-50-2-2-58
Pack up your shit. it's your day jumped out my bunk/ give all my shit to my
Niggas/ in fact,
I left everything that I had back in jail but my raps/ I'm on the streets now/
Scene unchanged
Niggas still the same/ I ain't fuckin' with you bustas cuz I'm tryin' to make a
Change/ I got with the real
Dogs, and we was schemin' on the mill, y'all/ so we had to chill on y'all/ get
Out of cleveland
If we planned to achieve it/ so we planned it with eazy on greyhound and now we
Leavin'...
