[01:40.29]And I've been ****ing niggas since the tender age of nine
[01:43.23]It's gettin' to be a full-time job just tryin' to stay alive
[01:46.26]And Crackers tend to smirk, offended by the dope smoke comin' off my clothes
[01:50.79]But still
[01:51.24]I puts in work and front for my folks
[01:53.76]Cause where
[01:54.18]I come from niggas, family just ain't no joke

[01:58.56]Edgar on the boat

[02:08.82]And everybody sittin' in the pulpit ain't saved
[02:11.79]Most preachers are false prophets
[02:13.23]****ing hoes and gettin' paid
[02:14.85]I'm lookin' for the... [ Chorus] [Bun B:]
[02:37.20]You only got one life to live
[02:40.83]That's all they give you to do it
[02:42.51]You could bullshit your way through it
[02:44.58]Or stay true, it can be complicated cause niggas
[02:46.86]Be gettin' shot in the cross
[02:48.39]People and names get lost
[02:49.89]The people in the lane get tossed
[02:51.45]The streets'll eat your ass alive
[02:53.37]Take your positions with pistols, bare hands, and knives
[02:56.22]And nobody's surprised if somebody
[02:58.23]Don't survive the dusk to see dawn
[03:00.39]It's treacherous how we was left to die
[03:02.67]On the streets that we be on
[03:04.62]Mother****ers sleepin' on them corners that you pee on
[03:07.53]Probably cause society felt they didn't belong
[03:10.50]Now who in the **** made it this way for us
[03:13.11]Got all these little niggas slangin' that yay
[03:15.36]Because it ain't like they make high levels gainable
[03:18.30]And that punk piece of
[03:19.59]American pie just ain't obtainable
[03:21.78]So how can
[03:22.41]I substain a full life before death
[03:24.60]Man, I'm left out here to make it by my goddamn self
[03:27.30]Now c'mon, who gives a damn when you can't afford the turkey or ham
[03:31.35]Livin' off of
[03:32.10]Raemon Noodles, beef jerky, and
[03:33.75]Spam Now that's sad, but that's a fact of life
[03:36.54]All I can see in front of me is up for grabs
[03:39.12]Come off that slab
[03:40.23]Cause poverty will push a nigga over that brink
[03:42.99]Over the edge especially if you don't know your ledge
[03:46.35]So instead of being without,
[03:48.12]I'm hustling
[03:48.66]Tryin' to get through these ungodly days
[03:50.85]Thinkin' of ways to get the nigga outta this maze
[03:53.37]A man will committ a crime 'cause a nigga's crime pays
[03:56.37]I'm going through a phase you don't grow out
[03:58.65]Until there's a reason a mother****er gots to pour out
[04:01.62]His 40 on the curb, disturbed and left with no doubt in his mind
[04:05.34]But still sometimes he don't know why
[04:07.62]He walkin' around just hopin'
[04:09.39]He can get one more try to make it
[04:11.40]It's bullshit he going through, but yo, he gots to take i
[04:14.37]You can't fake it, to get that hi life [Chorus: until the end ]
