Black hoods cops and projects

Sewers flooded wit foul blockage

The gutters wild and every child watches

Chains and top locks get ripped off hindges doors kicked off

Drunks stagger off smeared off wipe your beard off

Crippled dope fiends in wheelchairs stare vision blurry

Cause burried deep in their mind are hidden stories

Bet he's a mirror image of the 70's error

he's finished for the rest of his life til he fades out

the liquor store workers miss him but then it plays out

So many ways out the hood, but no signs say out

Mental slave house where gats go off

I show off, niggas up north

Prisonology talks till they time cut off

You used to chill you short, prepare deep thought

They hit the streets again, get it on

Get this paper and breed again

Planet leave somethin behind, so your name will live on

No matter what the game lives on......

Chorus: (there is no chorus, the beat just plays on)

Uh, yo, if this pianos

The cake and my words to the candles

Light it up, make a wish and them angels will grant you

And patience one try, puttin those angles as bamboo

They lit it up, (nas inhales 2 times)

hit it up, (nas inhales once) now they dismantle

Think the whole world is crazy, got a nine

Watch where you walk, two dollar fine

Sign of the times, hearin New York high satin

United Nations quietly takin toll on your soul

take it or leave it, just my evaluation

Stack newly guns, teach the girls karate school your sons

Not to hate, but to stay awake

Cause the scars a razor make is nothin in comparison

To the gas left on his whole mask, if we dont get it controlled fast

Might as well be, laughing with Malcom X's assassin

As we die slow, parishin brain dead from an Erics
