Eventually, you know they try to do me, fuck it
Fed up, my nigga wanted to take it down South
Sick of cops comin', sick of throwin' jacks in his mouth
Gave him half my paper, told 'em go that route

A dread kid, had a baby 'fore that bitch Taya
Found out her baby's father cheatin', now Drew she gotta slay her
One night, across from the corner store

Ricordo di aver venduto tre mattoni di pura farina
Got my man a beat down to the third power
Ho fatto picchiare il mio amico al terzo grado
He didn't care, spent the money in a half hour
Non gli importava, ha speso i soldi in mezz'ora
Got some fishscale, rained on competition like a shower
Ho preso della fishscale, ho piovuto sulla concorrenza come una doccia
Got the coke cooked up, a crackhead Kevin
Ho fatto cuocere la coca, un tossicodipendente Kevin
In eighty-eight, when Kane ruled, with 'Half Steppin'
