[02:40.34]Then hard times fell upon us [02:41.72]Half of my staff had warrants [02:43.85]The other half in the casket lay dormant [02:45.39]I felt like life was cheating me [02:46.85]For the first time in my life I was getting money [02:49.42]But it was like my conscience was eating me [02:51.07]Was this a lesson God teaching me Was he saying that [02:53.49]I was playing the game straight [02:54.64]From Hell from which few came back [02:55.84]Like bad coke pimp or die was my mind frame bad [02:58.65]Was niggas thinking simplify was turning coc*ine crack [03:01.03]Ain't a whole lot of brain to that [03:02.94]Just trying to maintain a stack [03:04.09]And not collide like two trains that's on the same track [03:06.27] [03:07.20]But get my life together like the oils I bring back [03:09.26]In the bottom of the pot where the water gets hot [03:11.58]Got my transporter take it across the border then stop [03:14.11]To set up shop with a quarter of rock [03:16.04]Here's the plan: [03:16.97]For three straight weeks [03:18.08]Niggas slaughtered the block [03:19.34]But you know the game is food [03:20.95]It f**ked up me and my dudes [03:22.26]One drought can wipe a ni**a out [03:23.60]Faster than the cops [03:24.65]And this unstable way of living just had to stop [03:27.05]Half of my niggas got time [03:28.31]We done real things [03:29.62]By '94 became the subject of half of y'all niggas rhymes [03:32.37]Public apologies to the families of those caught up in my sh*t [03:35.01]But that's the life for us lost souls brought up in this sh*t [03:37.41]The life and times of a ni**a mind [03:39.16]Excited with crime [03:39.81]And the lavish luxuries that just excited my mind [03:42.46]I figured "sh*t why risk myself I just write it in rhymes [03:45.24]And let you feel me and if you don't like it then fine " [03:47.87]The mind state of a ni**a who boosted the crime rate [03:50.26]So high in one city they send National Guards to get me
