You know the procedure
Nothin' but playas and trues, man

And a sista gets wrecked for her domain
Plain and simple, Ken Dawg rollin' with II Tru
Who you want to bring?
Come along or come strapped
AJay, AJay, a shot out to my playa realer
My world'll get with ya
Let the Jhaz inside of me, feel ya, hit ya
You don't want to see us come ball with playas
No pressure, come along to scrap me and my crew;
We got them street sprayers
Welcome to my world, nothin' but the Jhaz
Top class, black jag with the cream rag
Zigzag? Nope, the Swisha
AJay is my click, believe my click'll get with ya
No bull, man, and once again, let me repeat
II Tru forever, runnin' through my veins
And heartbeat sweeta seat
Deep inside this smoke-ingested girl
This Mo Thug click is tight

I wish I could go back in time. Music was so dope in the 90s
r rod
I know the younger kids, I’m 41, just can’t understand just how real and awesome the decade of the 90s was. Next decade of my life being young and partying and how school was different back then too being able to leave campus for lunch or using lunch break to smoke a bunt with your boys. You only young once guys live it up but be safe going to jail isn’t cool that’s not a path that’s a one way ticket to dead or prison. System is unfair yes I know I’m Hispanic I dealt with issues myself too and while everybody are different I said I will say fuck your to the system and beat them at there own game by living and surviving under there system and actually making it blessed that I don’t have to live past check to paycheck. It won’t be easy but playing and beating them at their own system that is Built to oppress you and keep you down that’s the best feeling. Like hey system your sole purpose is to make sure I don’t succeed but I not only played your game but I beat you at it. That’s the mindset needed these days because I’m reality the system wants you to get mad and get violent so they can just lock you up and have control over you. Want to fix this country then the system needs to be broken down to its core and rebuilt but that’s something Jesus can do and we will wait for his arrival as this world is too corrupt for anybody small or big group to get things changed. Man can’t fix this it’s out of our hands.
