[00:20.000]Freedom of jail, clips inserted

[00:59.000]Pushin' big toys, gettin' nice, enjoyin' your life

[01:54.000]>From the projects with no chips, to large cake dough
[01:57.000]Dimes, skinnin' fellatio, siete zeros, bet my nine spit for the pesos
[02:01.998]But what's it all worth, can't take it when you under this Earth
[02:04.998]Rich men died and tried, but none of it worked
[02:06.998]They just rob your grave, I'd rather be alive and paid
[02:10.000]Before my number's called, history's made
[02:12.000]Some will fall, but I rise, thug or die, makin' choices
[02:15.000]That determine my future under the sky, to rob, steal or kill
