[00:36.48] Ridin' 'round the corner from 'em was the spot
[00:39.27] They sold weed, lace, base, heroin and marijuana
[00:41.93] His role model was an older nigga
[00:43.70] Who kept a wad of hundreds 'cause he had a whole lot of money
[00:47.33] Now keep in mind this is 'round the time that
[00:49.20] Miami niggas was really tryin' to put it down
[00:52.82] That's back when the pimp game played out
[00:55.53] That next year crack cocaine came out
[00:57.44] And it all started in the suburbs
[01:00.14] But only rich folks could afford to go and smoke that good dope
[01:01.91] And yo they used to call it free-base
[01:05.66] But when it made it to my block, me and my boys called it Crack Rock
[01:08.38] We used to cook it up and bag it up and sell 'em
[01:10.16] Nickels and dimes to any bitch that was buyin'

[01:31.20] Daddy was a G
[01:32.16] Nothin' left for him to be
[01:33.01] But a thug
[01:34.87] And when he first hit middle school
[01:36.73] He was a typical, ordinary, everyday ass dude
[01:40.38] Around the time eighth grade came around
[01:42.21] He had done made up his mind, a nigga can't lay down now
[01:44.94] His first job, he was a watch out
[01:47.62] He had to scream one time every time the cops hit the block
[01:50.41] We used to call him Bo Brown
[01:52.26] 'Cause when he came around, close shop nigga, shut it down
[01:55.86] Them lil' two-hundreds
[01:57.75] That was a lot of money for a young nigga sittin' 'round not doin' nothin'
[02:01.31] Plus his mama had a newborn from an old nigga out the hood
[02:04.07] Who don't do shit for him
[02:06.82] They go another bill, another mouth to feed
[02:09.59] Oh well, yo a nigga couldn't stop there
[02:12.23] He gotta keep food in his crib and keep the lights on
[02:15.92] Ain't like his daddy's comin' back home
[02:16.87] Now just imagine the role of a thirteen year old
[02:19.59] Who playin' head of his household, now that shit's cold
[02:22.30] But then again I suppose
[02:25.01] You already know how the shit go

[02:51.46] And now he got two feet waist deep in it
[02:54.25] And he control the whole operation
[02:56.09] But it's kinda different 'cause he's dealin' with some stiff competition
[02:58.72] And everybody wants to be buddies
[03:01.56] All of a sudden friends but then again all they see is money
[03:04.27] And he ain't never too flashy wit it
[03:07.05] Not into cars and jewels, just nice clothes and new shoes
[03:09.76] Half of the money went straight to his mama
[03:12.40] But the other half, you know, the kid had to keep it stashed
[03:15.27] But it's kinda hard to hide drug money
[03:17.03] But it's worse bein' a dope but none of this shit's worth dying for
[03:20.60] But when it comes to livin', money's nothin'
[03:21.57] Bein' dead is free now tell me, what would you rather be?
[03:25.25] Don't tell me, tell it to your child
[03:27.12] Make your talk worthwhile and the rest, he'll figure it out
