To all my peeps locked down, comin back 2 life

I know it's been a mega zone, since i sen't you this kite

But i had to k.i.m., you know the city don't sleep

Put 50 cents in your commisary, reach you next week

The streets still in a shangle, since we last broke bread

And baby ra got left, o.t. two in the head

Seen black cop the ack, you know his numbers ain't match

He still runnin tack jobs from the days of way back

And look at jose, is wild now, gave birth to my first child

And they move john back to the isle

Still tryin to hold my dough to see mom straight

Gotta scribe from jahard said he maxed a rapper's weight

For a rep to 5-10, before we lock in

Askin how's my rappin, wanna know if i'm still boxin

In the center that's the sum, now he been gone for 12 summers

Round the same time a vapor leather b bombers

For the love of money, red is facin a 8-20

Could of had a 1-3 but the streets were hot and days were sunny

Some niggas stayin runnin for the love of money

Went up to antarc, slick mix sergeant country

A god a scribe from the god foundation

Same thing nuthin changed, he's maintainin

Just takin everyday, he stay inside and stride

Build a whip, a tard, a nepher, trying to stay alive

Tell the god ja rule, i'm comin to see him in the fu'

Next v.i., soon as i finish takin care of b.i.

I see why that nigga kay be ready to flip

But let him know rhino's home, fuckin wit the clique, shit

Imagine if blueman was there, oh my god

I know that's somethin for the ward and the fair

Oh yeah, if you bump into my nigga rubble

Tell him me and his brother sigh got the bundle when he come thru

Told ya moms, tell me stop shittin on me, take the block with my phone

Don't forget about a dog when he away from home

You know i'm trying to blow, but i can still spread love

Cuz he been down for too long, and i ain't seen him in the hood

Plus i always say i'll visit, switch at the last minute

He respect and overstand that i'm takin care of business

But still ain't all, he needs to accept these calls

The one you pass on your way, be the same one you fall

And that's a fact that's been proven till this day it don't pay

To go against the grain and betray family

Plus i just seen shack he said you change, actin funny

But he don't even wet it, cuz he still gettin money

Son, i be straight, fuckin wit the day from when ya bitch show

Niggas be frontin, but i be reppin bad bro

You know the inside coincide with the out

When i come out, that's half the things we talk about

To all my people lock down, comin back 2 life

We workin hard to bring you home, so we can do this right

I know it's rough in the day, even rougher at night

Hold ya crown, cuz we ready, and we down to fight
