[00:03.54] Keepin' it real
[00:06.17]
[00:20.41] I take a shot of Hennessey
[00:21.75] Now I'm strong enough to face the madness
[00:23.78] Nickel bag full of sess weed laced with hash
[00:26.33] Phone calls from my niggaz on the, other side
[00:29.06] Two childhood friends just died, I couldn't cry
[00:32.05] A damn shame, when will we ever change
[00:34.79] And what remains from a twelve gauge to the brain
[00:37.52] Arguments with my Boo is true
[00:40.16] I spend mo' time with my niggaz than I do with you
[00:42.27] But everywhere it's the same thang, that's the game

[00:47.56] I'll be hustling to make a million
[00:49.50] Lord, knows ain't no love for us ghetto children, so we cold

[00:55.33] Beep my horn for a hoochie with a proper ass
[00:58.50] It ain't easy, that's my motto
[01:00.97] Drinkin' Tanqueray straight out the bottle
