Shootin' dice on length with a couple of G's. Dust off my knees twist off my cap and breathe. Jump in the six-four sittin' on D. Spit a few caps at my enemies. Please freeze there's a new sheriff in town. Livin' in the projects Dogg Pound Pound. No father figure just gangbang nigga. Cuz they give it up quicker and they learn to pull a trigger. All role models on TV. Most of us ain't got a TV you feel me?. Shit Michael Jordan don't come through. I bet the nigga get the money when it time to sell his shoe.

I wish we had some more of this government cheese. I'm duckin' buckshots see walkin' on my knees. Ain't no trees the grass ain't green. And when I say it's all bad you know what I mean. There's One In Every Family- what? A Fiend. And a basketball star with no team no dreams. Remember good times? JJ and Michael?. And all the lil' thangs they went through despite.

And the Cabrini Greens my niggas get wild on they ass. We like to pow-pow on they ass. Here's a toast to the coast so take a blast. >From the projects to the upper deck upper class.
