From a small ass tadpole swimmin in a fallopian tube To a fixture on my soil, a stand up a dude I was brought up in the crack game and pushin that stuff Arguing with my folkers we loved eachother so much Ditchin and dodgin the rollers, the block real tuff and scootin them Novas and them Chevrolet stepside trucks Me and my brother Dennel, Kevin, Dalon, and Little Ray, Billy, and Ivory and them from the Street camp up like thumbtacks, talking on faulty big backs Motorola, A1 yola, glad bag fulla Tic In the mean time, in between time, in my spare time writin In the front yard, in the driveway, on the concrete shootin
