The First 48
Apollo Brown & OC

[Verse 1]

Living this street life, not thinking about repercussions

Young'uns nowadays be buggin'

Too cool for school, not hearing a word we tell them

I try to take them out the rain and put them under my umbrella

To the wrong things exposed, their ears is closed

I let them know fear's good and keeps niggas on they toes

Not the type of fear of another man, of course

See the hood is Van Damme, survival's a Bloodsport

Straight-shot wizard, hitting kids on the playground

Not specific on the targets he laid down

Murder is the case now, you in the place now

Apprehended by the law, slammed face-down

You claim accusations were false

Was nowhere near the scene when the gunfire popped off

Haven't been round recent, yet you in the precinct

And about to break down, facing interrogators


[Hook]

(In the white room) [x2]

Facing interrogators in that

(white room)

(In the white room)

You and your mans are facing interrogators in that

(white room)

(In the white room)

Snitch niggas talking, running they mouths in that

(white room)

(In the white room)


[Verse 2]

Nickle & dime hustles, tat on your chest

Read Embrace the struggle, what you know about struggles?

Your life's honeysuckle compared to those who've been through

The drama, double digits handed to them by your honor

Nowadays you hear them say death before dishonor


In the same vein, on the net snitching about a problem

This type of talk is common, but unlike the

Rapper from Chicago seen with a cool calm demeanor

Y'all niggas is built to fold and sell your soul

Crimes committed with [coke, these?] you already told

Listen, Generation X, crack babies from the '80s

Not smart, yet wanna drive a Mercedes

Own more guns than textbooks, buck off, get caught

Then get shook, tell on others, can't keep your mouth shut

Police apply the pressure, you presume your innocence

Feeling like the wall's closing in, sitting in that


[Hook]


[Verse 3]

Let's shift gears, you a corner boy, you come up short

One too many times, your grind is off

Light package on the average, skimming off the top

Like your boss can't count when he's feeding the block

That's a bold move, you must be sipping Sprite with cold flu

Medicine, you gotta be dumb playing with those dudes

Brought to their attention, niggas became suspicious

When that money started missing, other start to whisper

Figure this'd be their chance to move up in the ranks

Stove product, trick dollars, to them it's small change

Then the skimmer gets blatant, see your ass was confronted

Your lives ain't together, next step is get punished

Beat within inches of your life lost

Laid up in that O.R., life support

Keeping your soul gone

Eyes half-open, conscious, can't move

It's a miracle you're alive, in bad shape, laid up in that


[Hook]
