[C Murder]
Nigga back in the days I was afraid of the police
just another paranoid drugdealer on the streets
my ghetto hero was above the law I caught a glimpse of a bullet
that took him down like a south paw uneducated to the game of life
I was hated to the grave but the pen kept my mind right
a young motherfucker doomed since day one
shit I'm a fool I'm a ball 'til my time come
a G to me is like a mil' on the streets I'm a kill just to eat
and leave my enemies on the concrete they say a soft heart
make a bitch nigga stay alert stay alive that's the code of a thug
nigga
I want to rob and steal but crime pays the bill niggas know I'm real
so my pain is what they feel I'm a rider TRU niggas gone feel me

[Master P]
