Suburban area, Precicely paved streets
Million dollar mansions, Luxury sweets
Wealthy people keeping to theirselves
Only trouble aroused was sewage breakdowns
On the outskirts of the city, Where i matured
Play in playgrounds, Participated in sports
Brought home decent grades, Contained my behavior
I went to a christian school, "Jesus my Lord and Savior"
Over n over it consumed my mind
Therefor whenever in trouble, There's light in sight
But the nights, so dark, so cold
It's a knife instead of a gun i behold
I moved into the most dangerour part of town
Where jumpoffs, shootings, and robberies broke out
Walking alone is scarce, I tremble in fear
Conqour my fear? how... when family is killed each year
A school boy, I thought deeply within
Not frantic anymore...If I converted to 1 of them
My knife shined bright, No sight of blood
Never needed or used it, Forever layed under the rug
The situation comes, Sinful actions began
Stole neckalces, And countless diamonds
I scared them, Damn i fealt strong
They were like me, Baring to hold on
All n all my agressive style caught up
I was in rehab for consumin random drugs
Served house arrest for dishing them about
My mother just cussed...and threw me out
I was in a feeble stage, Psyco prone
Nobody will grant a hand, I'll do it on my own
Ma gon' get it, I flashed my gun...
I usta be a kid...But now i'm on the run
