Growing up as an inner city brotha   Where every other had a pops and a motha   I was tha product of a heated lover   Nobody knew how deep it screwed me      And since my pops never knew me   My family didn't know what ta do with me   Was I somebody they despise, curious look in they eyes   As if they wonder if I'm dead or alive, poor momma can't control me      Quit tryin' ta save my soul, I wanna roll with my homies   A tickin' time bomb, can't nobody fade me   Packin' a 380 and fiendin' for my Mercedes      Suckers scatter, but it don't matter I'm a cool shot   Punks drop from all tha buckshots tha fools got   I'm tired of being a nice guy, I've been poor all my life   But don't know quite why      So they label me a lunatic   Could care less, death or success   Is what I quest   'Cause I'm fearless, now tha streetz R Deathrow      ('Cause I'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')   Tha streetz R Deathrow   ('Cause I'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')   Tha streetz R Deathrow      I just murdered a man, I'm even more stressed, wearin' a vest   Hopin' that their aimin' at my chest   Much too young to bite tha bullet, hand on tha trigga   I see my life before my eyes each time I pull it      I hope, I live to be a man   Must be part of some big plan to keep a brotha in tha State Penn   Counting penny's over tha years, I'd done stacked many   Proven wrong those who swore I'd wouldn't live till twenty      Now they gotta cope, since it's tha only thing I know   It's difficult to let it go   I'm startin' to lose my hair 'cause I worry   Hustlin' to keep from gettin' buried      But now I gotta move away now   'Cause these suckers wanna spray where I lay down   My homie lost his family and snapped   Shot up half tha block to bring them back   Tha streetz R Deathrow      ('Cause I'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')   Tha streetz R Deathrow   ('Cause I'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')   Tha streetz R Deathrow      ('Cause I'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')   Tha streetz R Deathrow   ('Cause I'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')   (Like it ain't nothin')      I'm dangerous, when drunk I only drink beer   Gin makes me sin, unable to think clear   Heneesee, makes me think my enemy is getting close   Boom, boom, boom, got me shooting at a ghost      Some call me crazy, but this is what you gave me   Amongst tha babies, who raised up from tha slavery   I sport a vest and hit tha sess to kill tha stress   Moved out west and I invest in all tha best      Those who test will find a bullet in they chest   Put ta rest by a brotha who was hopeless   Grow up broke on tha rope of insanity   How many pistols smoking coming from a broken family      I'm sick of being tired   Sick of tha sirens, body bags and tha gun firing   Tell Bush to push tha button 'cause I'm fed   Tired of hearin' these voices in my head   Tha streetz R Deathrow      ('Cause I'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')   Tha streetz R Deathrow   ('Cause I'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')   Tha streetz R Deathrow      ('Cause I'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')   Tha streetz R Deathrow   ('Cause I'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')   Tha streetz R Deathrow      ('Cause I'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')   This goes out to my partners in tha Live Squad   (Like it ain't nothin')   And all my partners involved in that 187   Watch your back      ('Cause I'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')   There got to be a better way   ('Cause I'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')   There's too many of us in tha cemetery      ('Cause I'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')   Come on, what we gonna do now   ('Cause I'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')   Tha streetz R Deathrow
