Back in the day, when we had nothing
And shit was fucked up without a buck
But who cared, gave a shit
Childhood lost and I grew up quick

Hope for the best but expect the worst
I get mine, survive, the truth hurts
Things don't happen the way we want to
Can't understand why true friends are so few
Shit's at a standstill and it just doesn't fit right
I'm getting tired of everything, of try to impress
Your fake, guess it shows
Fucked it up and now your slipping, looking back you'll be alone and then you'll wish you did things different

Keep your head up son and watch your step
Tables turn people learn
No remorse no regrets
Tables turn people learn

Prepare for combat..
Puttin' all doubts to rest, yes I confess, I'm blessed
(Chick chick) Blow to your chest. I be coming hard like I ain't got ass in the longest, I be bringin' the noise like Anthrax. Absorb more shit than Tampax, stand back. Got more phat jams than Johnnie Cochran's got facts. H2O my fucking god, come so fuckin' deep, deep space nine up out this piece. Puttin' n***as to sleep, like Simmons Beauty, rest in peace. Come complete, bring it in, taste the concrete
