Joe Budden - Young n____z

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My stuggles a little different, yall n____s was selling I was sniffin
Sike, rewind it Im just kidding
I was hanging with old cats trying to put my bid in
Same state you was stacking in, I was trying to get in
Yall was f___ing with pigeons
I was on Malcom X looking for a jar for my cig to get dipped in
Was still spittin, before the video vixens
Around the time Ewing had got dunked on by Pippen
n____s was still pitchin
I was stealing money from my moms anytime she left her purse in the kitchen
Guzzling a 5th and,
I was high as a f___, ODing on visine so my eyes wouldnt glissen
Moms still b____in, she thought I knew better but I didnt
Tried to talk to em, wouldnt listen
Its almost like something inside of me kept itchin
I thought the streets loved me, nah who was I kiddin?
God looking like the Devil
Sending me to the p___ shop any time I found s___ that looked like metal
I dropped outta school, nah not to be cool
I was sitting there bored, thought all yall was fools
f___ I wanna read up on Romeo and Juliet?
Way back I aint even have my first Juliet yet
Angie aint even make that knife go through me et
Matter fact, I aint even smoke my first woolie yet
Tried to have it wrapped, but things just wasnt a dubie yet
It was coming for me but nah, it aint subdue me yet

My first time locked up, I was a child
Met up with mad n____s I aint seen in a while
And it wasnt bad being locked in with them
But couldnt fathom locking in at ten like
f___ reading a book, sat on my bunk with mad time to get my thoughts straight
One month, one child but still without a court date
Just bags of nicotine, rolling paper
Pull-ups, push-ups, how the f___ I get here?
War stories, you hear a lot of s___ here
Great place to visit but NAH, I dont wanna live here
Nah, gotta get my mind in a new place
Grimey a__ n____s just stealing my socks and toothpaste
Cant ever remember, feeling such neglect
But snaked get snaked, what the f___ I expect?
I thought if anything I had earned n____s respect
But n____s hung up soon as they heard 'collect'
Had my mag with the t__s out
OG said to me the streets dont love you theyll be there when you get out
Buncha the same people, still in the same s___e
A few of them'll die, a few'll take your place
I pray to god that I never catch another case
The CO's just treat us like we rats in a maze
You wonder why Joey always hype and smilin
I was THIS close to Rikers Island
And being on Rikers wylin
I done been through way worse s___ than having a few gripes bout my album
