Verse 2

Since the genesis, paraphernalia circle my premises
Poor images, project life drained my innocence
I saw the worst genocide, I guess the world is cursed
My old earth identified, though her soul is for the church
She prayed for peace, hopin' I'm saved before she lay deceased
To say the least, the warden's too wise to play the streets
I know the ropes, certain niggas too slow to cope
And though I sold some coke, it was only to stay afloat
Amongst the frozen hearted, some now bentin', some departed
Inhalin' chocolate, tracin' back to where it started
The crack wave 2 for 5, deuce and tres
The MAC sprays, puffin' lye, truth and days
And though it sound ill, through all the foul shit, I'm down still
All around real, rough is the grounds in Brownsville
I Know the Ledge, meditating holdin' my head
Eyes red, it's Doe Or Die till I'm dead
