Hey Yo I'm back after nine years that's 36 Seasons Shit is changed up for all types of reason Staten Island ain't the same Shit is Lame No familiar faces son I'm dodging the game I want a clean slate But these cops stay screwin Snatching me up off the block what am I doin' Oh it's officer Dangle and his sidekick berry Driving me around the hood so I can worry See I fucked up there's crackheads in every corner Kids in the school yard smoking Marijuana I ain't feeling it This ain't the way I left these blocks And my name's faded out like some old damn socks I want respect These streets was my playground once I was the Mack across a hundred & tenth on these stunts Not once would a nigga test me Or gets zesty I would walk down the street and sneezed they all bless me Been on the Battle field For a long long time I can see life closing in (You niggas don't see it) on this old body of mine Yea Homie I'm the kingpin called future Make a killin' In these buildings in the millions got em feeling like Brewster Shit hot as Fallujah kids grown out of they cock ruggers Welcome back to the sewers with new whips maneuver No kids playing no safe for sound havens There tre pound cases on the playground pavement No more goons with 22's in their sneaker soles Kids throw shit that leave your body with a heap of holes I'm that neighborhood blizzard flooding these streets with snow Heavy Iron on the ready my shit will crease your clothes Keep a flock of Sweetest hoes Yea I sleep with those Little slum young Keisha Coles with cheaper clothes Undercovers all around the gutter they creepin low I stays ahead kid I toss bread like pizza dough I keep teff around my torso with the piece below That bulldog short nose We be at peace with those. Ya know Been on the battlefield For a long long time I can see life closing in On this old body of mine Mama bear was a church woman Pop's skated off I was an impaired an introverted youngin Allah changed my course from nowhere to my first onion Then them cops came across flashed the badge took my stash told my little ass to get lost Threw me off my grind was a prime time thing You can step on and stretch minds to a nine times ten I was gone Remember when though that that fine line thin So I studied that chess board and we were all blind men Dealers ran the streets, but the D's ran them I was a killer underneath but needed expansion Something to constitute being high in a coop The crys from my youth so I applied for the suit Salute the enforcer called me officer now Supporter of paraphernalia I toss it around to link to the cartel Courses is down it's that Denzel in training day shit Caution my grounds Been on the Battle field For a long long time I can see life closing in On this old body of mine Been on the battlefield For a long long time I can see life closing in On this old body of mine
