Stand Strong

I walk around town with the pound strapped down

That's only because it's mad real in Bucktown

It gets mad deep in the streets

When you gotta watch your back

For beasts, enemies, even your peeps

I step to my business, stand strong on my own two

Do what I have to do to get through

If you for real, then you know the deal

I do or die and I never ran, never will

Daybreak sneaks upon my camp once more

**** drowning in blackness, stretched on the floor

Breakfast is served, the killer dealer from the Stuy

All boy go heaven but no boy wanna die

Watch the thin line, enough rap and reality

Get yourself hurt even 'cause fatal casualties

See, let me explain, this ain't no game

The words you talk'll have you coming  right up out your frame

You understand where I'm coming from, slim?

Bucktown's the state of the mind that I'm trapped in

If you want to see me, have some sensi

Keep your actions real, everything will be irie

Wicked minded youth dem'll lick off a shot

'Cause the roots silly around my way to get hot

Had to relocate, update with my inner

Build and destroy when I step in the center

Of the cipher in the night, wool rolled tight

Boot Camp Clik, no doubt that's a right

Now you singing a sad hymn

Asking me to stop them

From throwing away your sloppy, double-chinned husband

Mister ripper I got lyrics out the Timbs

Hurt their pride so bad, make you never talk again

And you call yourself a man, I cram to understand

Never step into your business 'less you got a clan

I walk around town with the pound strapped down

That's only because it's mad real in Bucktown

It gets mad deep in the streets

When you gotta watch your back

For beasts, enemies, even your peeps

I step to my business, stand strong on my own two

Do what I have to do to get through

If you for real, then you know the deal

I do or die and I never ran, never will

When they come around the block

I give mad love to the head that I know

While the heads that I don't know watch

As I step to my business, they witness me

Constantly building with my family

Jealousy makes them enemies

So when them nah step correct me

And my Tek'll put an end to the

Individuals who choose to use life for granted

What you gon' do when it's demanded

Will your boys leave you stranded in the midst

Of a battle where you get that ass shattered at your own risk

I hope y'all **** get it right this time

'Cause in the life of mine I'm going out for crime

And I believe, you got to take what you want to achieve

(Stick 'em on, stick 'em on)

Some do have tricks up them sleeves

(But we) crack down on the wack found back 'round Bucktown

Get down if you're with the now

'Cause what's happening there's a whole lot of flapping

But watch what'll happen when we bring Gunn Clappaz in

Boot Camp organize in the streets

In the industry on the rise  with my peeps

But don't sleep, 'cause you only manage to gain

A mental block on your brain or a glock to your frame

Basic training, Boot Camp don't let shit slide

So we be ready for what be on the brick side

I walk around town with my pound strapped down

That's only because it's mad real in Bucktown

It gets mad deep in the streets

When you gotta watch your back

For beasts, enemies, even your peeps

I step to my business, stand strong on my own two

Do what I have to do to get through

If you for real, then you know the deal

I do or die and I never ran, never will

Straight like that Beatminerz for your crumbs

Yeah, better recognize
