24 with an L 24 years old and I got life in this motherfucker...



24 with an L as I bail through the concrete shit is kinda deep

Deep deeper than Atlantis you got to know who the man is

L.A. better known as Pelican's Bay

The ghetto bird's got the word from the stool pigeon

A bird in the hand can't beat a chicken

There ain't no warden (shit)

Just broken glass fucking up my Jordans

Twice upon the time in the projects

I done got jacked for my Rolex

But I keep going, let it pass

Cause the swap meet got a sale on ski masks

And my little homie Kevin

Been carjacking since '87 (really doe)

L.A. is like a jail cell

And I got 24 with an L



"Get in that cell, nigger" (Repeat 8x)



Now, I made a little money, good

But I still want to live in the hood

But buying new fly shit

Is just like inviting ants to a picnic

There's just too many sets

And now I'm getting those kidnap threats

But who wanna get wet?

Cause I'll soak ya, you think I'm fat like Oprah

All I got is a little piece of nothing

And now you want to jack all the sudden

Rahter have me face down on the floor

Instead of that devil you work for

Motherfucking coward

And clowning my man cause he wants to go to Howard

Now I got a strap when I bail

Through the hood, 24 with an L



"Get in that cell, nigger" (Repeat 8x)



24 years, but see I got life

Sorry Mike, it does matter if you're black or white

Cause I'm up against the black and white

They spread my legs and grab my nuts tight

Niggas keep hitting me up

And bitches try to get a drop of nut

Asking me to dick this

So they can blow up, throw up from the morning sickness





Keep my shoulder on the wall like the county

Cause you buster-ass niggas can't clown me

South of pee go, that's where we go

Deep in a Regal, Desert Eagle

Sitting on my lap like a bitch with a gat

Westside's on the map

So if you want to scrap or even drop shells

24 with an L



"Get in that cell, nigger" (Repeat 12x
