Tryna chanel the spirits like a pixie. My brain racin' my mind movin like a fixi In my hood they cooking crack where the kids eat cuz every dope boy got brick dreams And every hood rat tryna get cheese, n***as hating n***as worse than clayton bigsby Yeah it was only a sketch but see the picture painted, cuz 'round here it ain't the lifestyle of the rich and famous You rolled the dice enough one day you might just ace it. n***as gamble with they life before they get to vegas Eddie murphy ain't the only one trading places, alot of crooks turn states tryna help they cases My main man snitched on me, yeah i thought he was my dog but he b**hed on me My n***a doin' twelve i know that sh** lonely, every night i send a kite to my big homie Cuz n***as use the word friend and that sh** phony So when manolo got k**ed i can't forgive tony You realize when you're older, the less squares makes your circle less smaller I have to clear out the snakes from my corner, it take a G.I.
