[Verse
1]
Well
if
you
can′t
beat
em',
join
em′,
build
a
memoriam
This
kid
got
gold
teeth,
fuck
it,
coin
em'
so
we
can
get
some
loot
in
our
pocket
My
man
who
just
did
a
bid
said
you
haven't
tried
it
don′t
knock
it
I
wear
the
rings
of
Saturn
on
my
knuckles,
like
trucks
do
Life
40
acres
and
a
mule
I′m
down
to
buck
soon,
my
tool
iller
starts
Could
make
the
world
around
my
lost
souls
keep
my
mind
in
two
colds
Keep
the
world
in
two
holes
in
my
head
just
oppose
I
cited
murder
flows,
on
the
low
I
contra
flows
the
way
that
its
supposed
to
be
I
keep
10
rings
around
the
frozery
I'm
bout
to
rob
the
store
I
need
some
loot
and
some
groceries
I
need
a
lout
with
3 blunders,
fuck
another
night
of
hunger
I
been
a
good
man
and
I
don′t
deserve
to
suffer
After
this
night,
I'll
return
to
being
peaceful
I
put
this
on
my
people
Working
exchange
and
worth
the
peep
though,
yo
Do
you
recall
the
days
when
brothers
used
to
chill
Flex
on
the
mic
and
display
ghetto
appeal
Yo
those
were
the
days
when
it
was
really
real
Yo
those
were
the
days
when
it
was
really
real
But
we′ll,
all
get
it
back
together
one
day
But
until
then
its
stuff
gunspray
I
bless
my
head
with
every
night
I
lay,
and
I
pray
for
a
brighter
day
But
anyway
gotta
get
them
thoughts
out
of
my
mind
now
Wipe
the
sweat
off
my
eyebrows,
and
stop
to
caught
bring
my
hideout
Lie
down
you
two
niggaz
in
a
second
now
First
brother
shook
with
fear,
and
the
second
nigga
caught
a
smile,
wow
You
doing
that
why
don't
you
strip
white
Gaza
This
nigga
yells
you
"well
youse
a
frontin
ass
roster"
By
my
actions
I
have
to
say
that
thats
true
But
shut
the
fuck
up
I
didnt
ask
you
I
might
blast
you,
If
I
have
to,
no
mask
They
can′t
find
me,
even
if
you
ID
But
yo
thanks
for
checking
me,
then
unexpectedly
This
pet
nigga
right
behind
the
counter
started
wettin'
me
9 mm
weaponry
or
ya
be
sleepin
on
the
chest
next
to
me
Nobody
understands
society
molested
me,
they
just
questioned
me
Nature
of
the
arm
going
clean
up
crew
clean
my
blood
stops
flowin
All
my
enemies
out
on
the
block,
plus
the
government
is
smiling
Cause
they
sense
the
scent
of
death
blowing,
just
showing
They
plans
run
in
precisely,
"this
nigga
ought
to
fit
into
a
wood
box
nicely"
Ghetto
stress
have
my
own
fuckin
people
ice
me
If
you
look
you
can
find
me,
on
the
corner
store
tile
floor
Another
landmark
of
the
ghetto
I
saw
Is
it
all
worth
to
die
for?
Noooooo
Its
not
worth
it
([echoes]nooooooooo)
