I wonder why there's so much hatred in this world today

You know a lot of us brothers and sisters

Ain't gon' make it to see another day

At the age of 12 I was on another page

I wanted to juke up on the corner, other people were gettin' their pay

My momma would always tell me about the direction that I was headed

Like the majority of these kids today, man, I was hard headed

I wanted to know too much, a little menace, shakin' police

Imagine a juvenile delinquent waitin' for release

They wait, it's easy for me to blame it on my surroundings

My folks raised me right, I just wanted to be the first fool poundin'

Up and down the block, Fleetwood, Cadillac

But take it from me, young G, because the lifestyle ain't all that

Unless you're ready to strap the gat and serve the 'gnac

To juke the sack to get your bread back

Playa, I'm up on all that

'Cause being broke ain't no joke, boost up your confidence

There's two options: legal or illegal, you know the consequences

Stay strong through all this drama, 'cause there's a remedy

This world is so corrupt, jealousy and envy

To all my folks in the pen', I'm sendin' this to you, you know

Hope you get to hear my rap, try to make it off parole

Stay strong through all this drama, 'cause there's a remedy

This world is so corrupt, jealousy and envy

To all my homies in the cut stackin' that chunky dough

Take it from your boy rappin', folks: stay off parole

The streets are full of sadness, dope and ghetto madness

Besides your brain in slangin' them thangs

The only apparatus be that hot lead

I seen him yesterday, but now my homie's dead

Hope I ain't goin' crazy, I know I ain't losin' my head

No more obituaries, no more hearse, that shit hurts

You damn right, but see, that's game, plus a part of life

Got so much game to give they label my rap positive

Why not take advantage of that and give it back to my neighborhood?

Because them people with them badges callin' themselves police

Be them same suckers goin' home sellin' hella weed

Everybody's human, we need to live by the Constitution

I ain't no dummy, behind them walls in Congress, someone's juicin'

How you think them streets get flooded with guns and knives and crack?

Us blacks ain't got the type of machinery to deliver that

And the people that do kick back in mansions pushin' remotes

I ain't no hater, but man, the law, I can't stand them folks

Stay strong through all this drama, 'cause there's a remedy

This world is so corrupt, jealousy and envy

To all my folks in the pen', I'm sendin' this to you, you know

Hope you get to hear my rap, try to make it off parole

Stay strong through all this drama, 'cause there's a remedy

This world is so corrupt, jealousy and envy

To all my homies in the cut stackin' that chunky dough

Take it from your boy rappin', folks: stay off parole

Once that crack hit this world, a lot of us lost our minds

Fools were sellin' everything in the house down to the iron

After Scarface I wanted to be like Tony Montana

Until the narcs caught me slippin' on a cheeta banana

They followed me and sweated me as if I was a rich man

I'm just a player out of Frisco tryin' to put my mack hand down

I'll be around just like the single

Twinkle, twinkle, who's the star? How I wonder where you are

Step to the back, then test the mic and break 'em off a proper bar

That's what I get for representin' Cali, you know

I used to be local, but now I'm a nationwide professional

Once I get home, back to the basics, things are so boring

Got a call from my P.O., she wants to test my urine

Now I'm tryin' to think, did I drink or did I smoke too much?

Here I am in her office, I forgot to hide these bucks

Livin' beyond your means, you know that's a violation, bro

Peace to all my homies across the world, get off parole

(Yeah, 'Pac, you know rag-top, we got love, man)

Stay strong through all this drama, 'cause there's a remedy

This world is so corrupt, jealousy and envy

To all my folks in the pen', I'm sendin' this to you, you know

Hope you get to hear my rap, try to make it off parole

Stay strong through all this drama, 'cause there's a remedy

This world is so corrupt, jealousy and envy

To all my homies in the cut stackin' that chunky dough

Take it from your boy rappin', folks: stay off parole

Yeah, for all of y'all, man, because I'm off parole

Stay strong through all this drama, 'cause there's a remedy

This world is so corrupt, jealousy and envy
