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