Nineteen-seventy somethin', nigga I don't sweat the date   My moms is late so I had to plan my escape   Out the skins, in this world of fly girls   Tanqueray and Hennessey until I cold hurl      Ten months in this gut, what the fuck   I wish moms'd hurry up so I could get buck   Wild, juvenile rippin' mics and shit   New York New York, ready for the likes of this, uh      Then came the worst date, May 21st   2:19, that's when my momma water burst   No spouse in the house so she rode for self   To the hospital, to see if she could get a little help      Umbilical cord's wrapped around my neck   I'm seein' my death and I ain't even took my first step   I made it out, I'm bringin' mad joy   The doctor looked and said, "He's gonna be a Bad Boy"      Now I'm thirteen, smokin' blunts, makin' cream   On the drug scene, fuck a football team   Riskin' ruptured spleens by the age of sixteen   Hearin' the coach scream at my lifetime dream, I mean      I wanna blow up, stack my dough up   So school I didn't show up, it fucked my flow up   Mom said that I should grow up and check myself   Before I wreck myself, disrespect myself      Put the drugs on the shelf? Nah, couldn't see it   Scarface, King of New York, I wanna be it   Rap was secondary, money was necessary   Until I got incarcerated kinda scary      C74-Mark 8 set me straight   Not able to move behind the great steel gate   Time to contemplate, damn, where did I fail?   All the money I stacked was all the money for bail      Ninety-four, now I explore new horizons   Mama smile when she see me, that's surprisin'   Honeys is tantalizin', they freak all night   Peep duckin' cops on the creep all night   As I open my eyes and realizin' I changed      Not the same deranged child stuck up in the game   And to my niggas livin' street life   Learn to treat life to the best, put stress to rest   Still tote your vest man, niggas be trippin'   In the streets without a gat? Nah, nigga you're slippin'      If I'm pimpin' on The F with weed on my breath   Original hustler with the muffler on the Tec   Respect to the Mac's and the Ac's   To the freaks in the Jeeps, lick shots to my peeps
