Livin in the world of ghetto life

Shot with the gun, get you cut with the knife

That's the story yo, the way the peeps like to move

No fakin the funk, it's all about how to show and prove

Some get to make it through life livin legal

The others gotta try to survive, doin the evil

that men do, peace to every hood that I been through

I even got love for my homies in South Central

But to the East my brother, cause that's where I stay at

Runnin through the streets like a stray cat

Like that Good Times show it makes me go

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, hmmmmmmmmmm, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Up in the projects, it gets no ILLER

With true gue-RILLAS, and stone cold KILLERS

It seems that every night, you get to hear the fireworks

As much as I hate, to see my people die or hurt

it's just a street mentality, a reality

Neighborhood warfare, that brings home casualties

And just because I moved out the residence

It don't mean that I can't represent

Chorus: Kane + "Yeah! Yeah!" -> chanted in back throughout

So to my peeps in the PJ's, throw your hands in the air

[Rick] "For all of y'all.."

Let me know you're out there

To my peeps in the PJ's, throw your hands in the air

[Rick] "For all of y'all.."

Let me know you're out there

And to my peeps in the PJ's, throw your hands in the air

[Rick] "For all of y'all.."

And let me know you're out there

Ah to my peeps in the PJ's, throw your hands in the air

[Rick] "For all of y'all.."

And let me know you're out there

[Big Daddy Kane]

I'm runnin mob deep around the way

It's me and the crew, we're tryin to map out the day
