10-20-Life

Chorus)

This for the boys that? s on the grind/

Servin bids and doin crime/

Stuck in the pen and doin time/

Facin 10, 20, Life/

(Verse 1)

Make ways of the 90? s/

Babies havin babies (Babies havin babies)/

N*****s dyin young/

Boy this s**t crazy/

You got drugs and guns/

But a n***a need them/

Prospect for a jack/

Then you can squeeze them/

To his head/

Left him deader than a doorknob/

Chose to rob/

He should have got a muthaf****n job/

His kids left without a pops/

Cuz he got shot/

His mama struggle every 5/

Now she slangin her car/

Probably lost full cost/the bills are late/

S****y diapers on her babies/

And they haven? t ate/

So she flex/catch a date/its her duty though/

She never h*? d but it? s the only way to go/

She turned a trick/got a bare buck/food to eat/

The bills are due in one week/so she? ll be back on the street/

She get a check/but that ain? t s**t but the f****n rent/

And food stamps in the wind/that ain? t s**t to spend/

Oldest child is her son in the 7th grade/

And he? ll just be turning 12 on his birthday/

A small boy with a brain to make a good life/

But he don? t sleep at night/

So he can? t function right/

Sister needin a crib/

He gots to pull through/

Quit school/snatched a book/and hit for grands too/

He was in love wit school/now they won? t let him back/

He started hangin with the boys/now he slangin crack/

He got this young girl pregnant/what she gon do/

Have a baby hope his daddy don? t die too/

The young n****? s in the county on the 10th floor/

Jumped out and roped him with a little dope/

His first charge so they gave him house arrest/

He better chill/cuz he don? t know the prison next/

He left his crib one night/went out hangin out/

He wasn? t home when the c******s came by the house/

Now he up the road in Broward wit a year to do/

Now he wildin? already doin his whole two/

His little shorty bout to walk/soon to talk/

His mama is the daddy/because that is all he saw/

(Chorus)

And now this n***a need money up the road/

plus a pair of shoes and socks to wear to vis her/

she try to visit every week now she dead broke/

she missed one weekend because she needed flow/

he cursed her out/called her names/made the girl cry/

she won? t accept his phone calls/and he wonder why/

she got another n***a in her life now/

she tired of kissin a** and getting cursed out/

He found the will to chill/now he on the turf/

Told the girl lies/Promised that he gon work/

She left that n***a/went back to that same jit/

He copped a vert/on ther corner doin the same s**t/

She sayin/You told me things/and I believed them all/

They stay together/got a condo up in C.C./

A water bed/big screen t.v./

He getting money but he ain? t savin none up/

Dropped a grip/bought his big new dodge truck/

He sixteen but he deep in the dope game/

Got connections to them boys slangin cocaine/

He got a name/all the h**s call him diamond d**k/

But he got robbed one night for this big lick/

They had the ups/he couldn? t buck/down to gave it up/

They got all his jewelry/10 grand/and his new truck/

And now he back on his d**k but he pissed off/

He knew the jack boys got him/go and take em out/

He got drunk one night and told his boys off in the hood/

How he got his money back and now he doin good/

He ridin round his city with the same gun/

Police pulled the boy/booked a murder 1/

He made the news/now he famous got a lil rep/

Done left his lady and his baby/ all by they self/

Jumped on a plea/5 for 3/

Now its cold comin from his dog JB/

JB drivin his shit/fuckin his best bitch/

Supposed to be best friends/and he done crossed the jit/

And he holla at his shorty every week/kinda mad at the h* so they don? t speak/

Outta sight/outta mind/cuz he got time/

And he aint getting out until 2029/

(Chorus)
