Tactical narcotic, force, back off fast 'Cause the crime boss is passin' off for portions of streets causes beef Havin' followers of Indians trying to play You witness the saga, and drama Life is a script, I'm not a but the author Of a modern day opera, the main character Is papers, the dominant factor
But you look so As I on by
Babies crying, brothers dying and brothers knocked Shit is deep on the And you got me locked down in this cold, world
