Penitentiary close, but you know Cemetery's ain't far away Before I die I'm trying to make the whole world our people scared to stand there
The way we ourself, they think that we all some killers But look into the eyes of a ghetto child by the street Go to sleep to gunshots, wake up from the of the police See now my ain't been the same nigga, life as a thug
