[00:27.90] I'm reminiscin' to the beginnin' of my mission
[00:29.66] When I was conceived and came to be in this position
[00:32.01] My mama was a Panther, loud single parent, but she proud
[00:34.37] When she witnessed baby boy rip a crowd
[00:36.73] Went to school, but I dropped out and left the house
[00:39.18] 'Cause my mama say I'm good for nothin', so I'm out
[00:40.91] Since I only got one life to live, God forgive me for my sins
[00:43.04] Let me make it and I'll never steal again or deal again
[00:45.42] My only friend is my misery
[00:47.71] Wantin' revenge for the agony they did to me

[01:19.10] Ain't no way in hell that I could ever be a rapist
[01:20.61] It's hard to face this cold world on a good day
[01:23.92] When will they let the little kids in the hood play?
[01:25.52] I got shot five times, but I'm still breathin'
[01:27.40] Living proof there's a God if you need a reason
[01:29.99] Can I believe in my own fate?

[02:08.70] To my unborn seed in case I pass away
[02:10.12] Will my child get to feel love?
[02:11.96] Or are we all just cursed to be street thugs?
[02:14.37] 'Cause bein' black hurts, and even worse if you speak first
[02:16.85] Livin' my life as an Outlaw – what could be worse?
[02:19.46] 'Cause maybe if I tried to change
[02:21.50] Who'm I kiddin'? I'm a thug 'til I die; I'm a rider, mane
