Lyrics
Verse 1:
when i was 4.. i was livin in hell..
my mom was gone, and my father was in jail..
cuz, where im from, theres no oppurtunity...
FUCK ABCs we learned the streets..
me and my pops use to go to new york..
cuz he aint have a 9-5, this was his work..
buyin up shit, wit the heat under his shirt...
and he kept half his stash hidden in my diaper..
one time my pops got stabbed for me..
cuz a drug deal went wrong, and they tryed to kidnap me.
so he fought em off, and a shot went off..
i closed my eyes, and couldnt believe wat i saw..
my pops was covered all over in blood..
but it wasnt his, so he snatched up the drugs..
we drove over the bridge back to new jersey..
back in new york, i left my fuckin sanity..
my childhood was crazy, nah, it wasnt fun..
you would never want to go to where im from..
Verse 2:
the difference is, yall played GI Joes..
in south jersey, we played hide the dro..
yall fathers had credit, and yall fathers had checks..
fuck a rapforums, we aint have the fuckin internet..
we had welfare checks.. and we used food coupons.
we had yellow mustard, yall had grey poupon
man, come on... yall take NJ lightly..
but you shouldnt come here wit out a light army..
youll get ya money taken playen us in C low..
and we the garden state cuz all the fuckin weed we grow..
you get an arm taken off, fuckin wit us..
even our landlords back off on the 1st of the month..
