But the old me's dead and gone, |
| [00:39.78] |

| [00:42.03] |
|
| [00:42.20] |
Every had one of them days wish you would have stayed home, |
| [00:43.92] |
Run into a group of niggas who gettin their hate on, |
| [00:45.83] |
You walk by - they get wrong, |
| [00:47.51] |
You reply then shit get blown, |
| [00:49.28] |
Way out of proportion way bad discussion, |
| [00:51.18] |
Just you against them pick one then rush them, |
| [00:53.16] |
Figure you get jumped here thats next, |
| [00:54.77] |
They don't wanna stop there now they bustin, |
| [00:56.44] |
Now you gushin ambulance rushin, |
| [00:58.21] |
You to the hospital with a bad concusion, |

Plus you hit four times but it hit yo spine, |
| [01:02.26] |
Paralyzed waist down and ya wheelchair bound, |

Niggas die everyday, |
| [01:11.34] |
All little bullshit, dope money, dice games, for their hood shit, |
| [01:15.06] |
Could this be cuz of hip-hop music, |
| [01:16.12] |
Or did the ones with the good sense not use it, |
| [01:17.89] |
Usually niggas don't know what to do when they back against the wall, |
| [01:20.63] |
So they just start shootin, |
| [01:21.52] |
For red or for blue or for blow I guess, |
| [01:22.70] |
From Bankhead at the old projects, |
| [01:24.83] |

| [01:31.01] |
family stake, |
| [01:32.13] |
That part of me left yesterday |
| [01:33.84] |
