To my man L.O.D. Def Squad
|
Hey yo this goes out to my man
|
Adrissa "Knockout" Beauwright and Anthony "Apple" Ames
|
Word is bond
|
I'm talking to my peoples all across the land
|
Relate to the situation at hand
|
I know everybody done been in some shit
|
And ready to lay niggas to rest
|
Just proove it but check it
|
We done did it seen it done it been through it
|
Swigged it guzzled it copped it, smuggled it
|
Rocked it, chopped it, locked it
|
Now we got the whole neighbourhood going through it
|
Ay yo, money in the hood makes the game go good
|
We only rock black jeans, black Timbs, and black hoods
|
Karl Kani wasn't even out, dressing fly
|
Rocking jams is what it was all about
|
We had dreams of doing shit niggas never heard of
|
Then damn my partner got murdered
|
|
CHORUS: (12)
|
(This goes out) To my mans
|
|
Hey yo, close the blinds when you cooking
|
My neighbours be looking
|
My nerves is shooken so fuck it I'm off to Brooklyn
|
To my cousin with the devilish grin, devilish way of livin
|
But fuck it, he's still chillin
|
Adrissa "Knockout" Beuwright druck 40s all night
|
While I did the mic something right
|
Catching wreck or we was playing ball
|
Getting busy in any little hole in the wall y'all
|
Street soldiers with good heads on our shoulders
|
Wanted to go to school to be doctors and lawyers
|
Well I got caught up in the system with two ounces
|
Had to do a little time in the big houses
|
Before I even knew it I felt it
|
Ay yo, yo your cousin Knockout got murdered, right?
|
Damn, that was my man
|
|
Ill keep holding on (2x)
|
|
I'm on the cutting edge cause I'm young and I'm black
|
Now I feel like I got a monkey on my back
|
But you know I'm stronger than that of course
|
I puff on El and stay mental just knockin em off
|
I'm just a bill on Capitol Hill
|
Listen to ym Squad members
|
Then we go for the kill
|
As I smell the vapors linger
|
I saw jealousy bring the anger in the chest with a banger
|
I'm on a rage against the machin, what I mean
|
I want to see my people
|
With more than just first of the month cream
|
The situation's always looking grim
|
Pregnant teenagers with kids and can't take care of em
|
For them niggas who did it, word to life
|
I'm a get with ya
|
Peace to my peoples, I'll never forget ya
|
|
CHORUS:
|
To my mans (2x)
|
I'll keep holdin on (4x)
|
To my mans
|
