[Intro]
Yes, Ooooh ooooh
Oh yea dem don kno me
The way they think they do
No they don't
Yea, but if they only knew
[Verse 1: Sevin]
I been in bad spots, I'm talking bad spots
Condemn project buildings that didn't have locks
I ain't had socks, I had to bag rocks
Out the gla** pot with the rest of the have not's
Life was not fair, I done not cared
I done ran up in houses and left the spot bare
On the block where, we do not share
And player we ain't just fighting we trying to stop air
I done rocked there, I done popped there
I done faced years, I ain't got scared
I kept my trap shut tight, no snitch
Like a clap on light, no switch
I done robbed n***as, and i done got licked
When they was looking for riders I done got picked
I was a sk**ed thug and I done spilled blood
My enemies and my own cause I am real blood
[Chorus]
Dem don kno me
The way they think they do
The corners all I know and I'm soldier
Though I'm really trying to change my life
But I will never leave the streets alone (x2)
[Verse 2: Sevin]
See I done gang-banged, and I been banged on
Twenty Crips around me, still flamed on
I done shed tears, and I done bleed here
I had to hide out, cause the Feds near
I done sold white, I done sold green
I done choked the red blood out a dope fiend
I've been sold dreams, I done smoked beam
Sipped one fifty one with the codine
I done took L's, I done lost ends
We done took shells, I done lost friends
I done lost faith, and I been hurt hard
But I did not break, and I ain't curse God
Before I did good, I had to do bad
Now I'm chilling in the hood with the blue rags
I done popped guns and prayed with the same hands
I done met Christ, I'm a changed man
[Chorus]
