Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Motherfuckers caught me slippin', I hate that bullshit
Dayton for life, gangsta love
I gotta go back there, I get back, fuck that punk shit
[Verse 2]
I'm making preparations to return to 79th and Halstead
I came to perform, but bled instead
Infiltrated by an enemy tryna paint me red
I discovered the true essence of a Vicky-loo
Quick to mob when odds are seventy to two
It was a setup I figured, but you was designated
To get me wet up by **** with triggers nickel plated
I was blinded but reminded when we arrived
Saw the five up in the sky, it blew my high
Never noticed I was the victim in this deadly plot
Surrounded by wanna be killas on Satan's block
Exit the Lexus, hit the liquor store to get some blunts
Never knowing I'll wear the bruises from this shit for months
Before coppin' I turned around, staring at the door
Throw your fives is what they said and surrounded the store
Sang in my song, I'm a gangsta, that had me trippin'
Thoughts in my head of Halstead, they caught me slippin'
Never again to be caught on the receiving end
Dayton Ave and Halstead, let the war begin
