First Of All

(专辑： Flamers - 2008)

First of all I wanna say is free my nigga Lil
And free my nigga Rick
They gave my nigga wills
When they told me I was locked up I was in the cell
And just thoughts of doing life gave a nigga chills
Damn, long rise to the mountains
I heard a nigga soul make you wanna cry fountains
But you can't
Cause your pride won't let you when u drowning
So much pain can't explain it or pronounce it
So you hold it like a soldier never folding
And daydreaming on the day you make it home but never knowing
When them crackers gon' let you free
Take off them chains and just let you be
Let you breathe, I get a deal
You know you get appeal
Hundred-thousand dolla lawyers rumbling for real
So many laws lie fumbled in the field
Turned over to the system either that or they was killed
Man I don't hustle cause I wanna shit I have to
I fell in love with the streets I lost my dad too
At a early age, man I was doing shit to lead me to a early grave
Or put me in the cage
Cause I ain't know that the world turns slow
And time flys by you fast tryna ride til you crash
I said I couldn't pick a side good or bad cause being bad felt good and being good ain't the cash
Running in the streets got my mama goin crazy
Hanging out south philly where my daddy ain't make it
Shit I was only five and I was mad I couldn't quake it
To catch a nigga slippin like a taurus transmission
Man listen, the streets that I come from black
A nigga take one of your's then you come to him strapped
With ya gat, no rappin lay em all on the floor
Squeeze the trigga and let all of em off
See look you got the fiends on the corner
Looking like zombies
Crack babies in the window looking for they mommy
Younging he was only 19 he got hommy
Yesterday they left him in the streets brain soggy
Cause where I'm from we die young
Ride or pride live by the gun
