From a small ass tadpole swimmin in a fallopian tube To a fixture on my soil, a stand up a dude I was brought up in the crack game and pushin that stuff Arguing my folkers cause we loved eachother so much Ditchin and the rollers, grippin the block real tuff Strikin and scootin them Novas and them stepside trucks Me and my brother Dennel, Kevin, Dalon, and Little Ray, Billy, and Ivory and them from the Street camp Posted up like thumbtacks, talking on faulty big Motorola, A1 yola, glad bag Tic Tacs In the time, in between time, in my spare time writin raps In the front yard, in the driveway, on the concrete craps
