* With my eyes open I tried to focus  I see my mother  Squeezing my hand teary eyed behind her  I see my brothers  and I wonder, how quick the game would take me under  I felt the bullets hit me in the back and it felt like thunder  Man, I'm thinkin is it too late for me to change?  I knew this world is full of snakes dog but thats a part of the game  a young thug that always scream I aint afraid of rain  I would just fight it out with Lord when I had no one to blame  from all the dirt I did  snatchin purses to pay the rent  I knew it would all catch up to me  man I hope i'm heaven sent  I used to be the main one screamin nigga i'm prepared to die  and when it came down to me layin on the death bin I was scared to die  no evidence of a killa when I found a bird in my dresser  and if I don't die here   i'll die tracin your hot desert  I can't win for losin to meet a whole gang of snakes  never thought about killin myself  but I refuse to die at the stake    Nigga, have you ever been sittin in your car nigga, rollin up a blunt?  when a nigga comes up to your window and gives you a whole clip?    Nah you aint ever had that, you aint ever experienced that    Have you ever been walkin through the park,  with your kids and your family, and a nigga comes out the bushes and  gives you and your family a whole clip?     No you aint ever had that     I remember when I had it made  13 with a whole verb  used to catch me comin down the street clownin in my convertible Ford ??  I used to be all on the curb  tryin to holla at me a shorty  with my right hand do dub  and me sippin up on a 40  me and my nigga used to have it made  we used to even fuck the same bitches  we used to spend weeks and even months on the corner tryin to maintain  our riches  remember we used to cut and go to other schools  and I slayed them niggas with lyrics  had the whole school late for class  cuz they all wanted to stay to hear it  I want to thank you my nig  cuz everytime i'm at war  you was always on my side  remember that time you almost died nigga  and I saved your life  yeah my dog that aint shit   nigga i'd do that a 1000 times  remember back when we was kids  and I had like 1000 rhymes  I aint forgot we unloaded the desert eagles   nigga to save my brothers  the other niggas started the war  then they snitched   when they asked who I smothered  to my niggas sittin in a cell  doin 34 with an L  they can't seperate us by jail  we all stuck in the same hell  I love you dawg    I'm in my room   tryin to make ends meet  got on the phone  have my whole crew  meet me at the end of my street  I ain't wit havin no weed to smoke  no drink, and bein broke  nigga we got to hit the bank loc  and thats real aint no joke  take me over to the projects  so I can steal me a regal  then we gonna run over to big Pooks house  so I can pick up those Desert Eagles  y'all fools ready for this  it's on and crackin at noon  we gonna get in and get out quick  with all the money we can consume  we hit em right  we hit em hard  and I got addicted  this shit is like a monkey on my back  and I can't kick it  so i'm robbin banks left and right  everything is goin good  till I hooked up with this one nigga  from the other side of the hood  he was a hothead  he'd come in the banks shootin guards and shit  when we got out the bank and split the money  them other niggas he would rob and shit  when the feds came sniffin around  thats when I knew he was a bitch  when the feds hit my house and put me on the ground  thats when I knew he was a snitch
