(They told me we gonna catch you one of these nights and we gonna kill you)
I ain't sure how I made it
I ain't sure how I made it
It's no milk and honey, just some kill for money
Get better tools, did whatever moves filled your tummy
Cop some dust, we known to barter
You know the saga, block was tough, home was harder
In the street, even revenge bittersweet
Spill they mens, they be back within a week spitting heat
Grind in a gritty world, mind of a city squirrel
Need a pearl, tired of a minded pretty girl
Keep that hidden loot, you out here livin', duke
Scoop birds in the two door, it's the pigeon coop
Spin to the nest, net her with the trap
Sins of the flesh, another feather in my cap
Back in the night air, where they don't fight fair
Dreamin' of that cream, committin' a nightmare
I'm detested and I love it
War funds for guns, but vests ain't in the budget
'Cause 'round here, they only press for your nugget
One of they privates come arrest you in public
I'm too raw for some, suggest that you cut it
Y'all ain't making no noise, the quiet kept me inspired
See us in fatigues and we ain't even tired (even tired)
I ain't sure how I made it
On that slum strip, morning come quick
Jackals have to attack, you keep the gun grip
Born a young bum, tryna become dip
We in the rubble where brothers guzzle, none sip
Sittin' fuller on a brick of sugar, get your hun hit
On rashes, no compassion, not one bit
I ain't sure how I made it
The streets ain't paved with gold
No bargain, you be out here starvin', you tryna save your soul
Wanna get paid, need a gauge to hold
Hot-headed your ways is cold
Ain't fly if you tryna die when you crazy old
That get you spun and blam, before you become a man
Before they lay a sheet over you, I hope you understand (hope you understand, man)
I'm tryna shove a hundred G's in my dungarees
I'm a cold winter morning, y'all a summer's eve
Repeal a line to heal ya mind, y'all brung disease
Blocks cooking, when cops ain't looking, we slung the freeze (freeze)
Nights is wicked, days is evil (evil)
Now I'm peddling that medicine, they placebo
I upped the dosage, notes is tough, ferocious
You can't see that I mold this(?), adjust your focus
I shower high power like I touched a voltage
Pardon, find your girls secret garden, crush the roses
Want beef? Place an order
I used to step with the 2-5 in the deck of the tape recorder
On the scene like an ace reporter
Type boldface and like hope raise the spora(?)
Supreme moxie, queens watch me like Bulova
While I'm logging, dodging bullets for the Pulitzer
No lines are empty, 'cause time's against me
Not amped as most handsome but finest MC
I ain't sure how I made it
Became class act from getting degraded
Dropped jewels for years, still jaded (dropped jewels)
I recall a rawer song and how I played it (how I played it)
I ain't sure how I made it
I ain't sure how I made it
Became class act from getting degraded
Dropped jewels for years, still jaded (dropped jewels)
I recall a rawer song and how I played it
(To be, to be totally truthful... I really don't know... you know i ain't...)
