Where niggas'll call ya bluff 'till you let 'em know shit is real
And material shit! - I'll make bitches head over heels,

Where it doesn't pay to live without sin don't be a angel (uh-uh!)
In a regular day just chillin' a bullet can reaarange you. [gunshot] {NON STOP!}
Where cats'll stab you the first time they get the chance too (uh-huh!)
The envious ways of a coward won't do nothing but amp you.
I'm from SouthSide/Jamaica where convicts and stars are born (that's right!)
Where you can wake up in the morning and ya brand new cars gone. (poo! poo! poo!)
Where niggas that you grew up with are speedin' and smokin' Crack [sniffle]
Play Russian Roulette with they dreams and there's no way to get 'em back. (uh-huh!)
Where the hoodrats'll surround you to concentrate on ya stack,
It's kinda hard to keep ya cool when there's constant heat on ya back. - BACK!
