First of All

First of all I wanna say is free my nigga Lil
And free my nigga Rick
They gave my nigga wheels
When they told me I was locked
Up I was in the cell
And just thoughts of doin' life
Gave a nigga chills
Damn, long rise to the mountains
I heard a nigga soul make
You wanna cry fountains but you can't
'cause your pride won't let
You when you drownin' (It won't let you)
So much pain can't explain
It or pronounce it (Ugh)
So you hold it like a soldier never foldin'
And daydreamin' on the day you make
It home but never knowin'
When them crackers gon' let you free
Take off them chains and just let you be
Let you breathe, I get a deal
(Deal) , you know you get appeal
Hundred-thousand dolla lawyers rumblin'
For real (Yessir)
So many laws lie fumbled in the field
Turned over to the system either
That or they was killed (Damn)
Man I don't hustle cuz I wanna, shit
I have to (I have too)
I fell in love with the streets
I lost my dad too at a early age
Man I was doin' shit to lead
Me to a early grave or put me in the cage
'Cause I ain't know that
The world turns slow
And time fly by you fast
Tryna ride til you crash ('Til you crash)
I said I couldn't pick a side
Good or bad cuz bein'
Bad felt good and bein' good
Ain't get the cash
Runnin' in the streets got
My mama goin crazy
Hangin' out south philly where my
Daddy ain't make it
Shit I was only five and I
Was mad I couldn't quake it
To catch a nigga slippin
Like a taurus transmission man listen
The streets that I come from black
A nigga take one of your's then
You come to him strapped with ya gat
No rappin lay em all on the floor
Squeeze the trigga and let all of em off
See look you got the fiends on the corner
Lookin' like zombies
Crack babies in the window
Lookin' for they mommy
Youngin' he was only 19 he got hommy
Yesterday they left him in
The streets brain soggy
Cause where I'm from we die young
Ride or pride live by the gun
