[Masta Ace]
I grew up in a place where peace is your best friend
And everyday a nigga got up was a blessing
I move through these streets not knowing who I can trust
Cause last year, somebody finished my brother Russ
We found him in the two train tunnel, decapitated
And that`s when my anger inside was activated
That was the last time I cried like a baby
Cause niggaz wanna find me next, and try to spray me
And spill my insides out all over the city
The life that I live right now is not pretty
I seen friends get held up on dark nights
I seen friends open they mouth and start fights
I`m deep inna bangin since the death of my brother
And anywhere you see me I`m representing my color
Any nigga come through rocking the wrong cap
Tryna shine like high gloss, is gettin left flat
Before I die, swear I gotta leave my mark (uh)
Catch me on the late night outside on the park
I`m not shootin` hoops with niggaz, I`m not friendly
It`s too bad...cause I do gotta little ball in me
I`m too wrapped up in these walls for territory
The world`s movin way too fast to hear my story
My nigga Blue held me down when it came time
We close like, we was delivered the same time
I told him we would stay on top like flotation
And never leave the hood or change our location
Blue always told me to never say `never`
And sure enough, ten of us got bagged together
Now we speculatin `bout what`s gone` happen to us
Trapped in this dark ass place that they through us
You can see the fear in my heart if you just look
I never ever thought my ass would get shook
But I heard the story that`s been goin` around
About, cats gettin` bagged at night and never found
I bet that`s just how Russ meet his doom
And just then somebody reached into the room
And got a tight grip right around my throat
I`m scared now, I figured that `that`s all she wrote`
What`s fucked up is, they don`t know nothin bout me
And yet wanna try and squeeze the life out me
I start regurgitating, spittin up from fear
Wishin` for a way that I could escape from hear
It`s almost like the hand of God reached down
And broke the grip and let me fall to the ground
(Sirens in background till finish)
