Verse 1: 
Back in the day where I'm from in the slum it was ill 
Drive around the corner catch a view to a kill 
Move up the block on the O they slang rocks 
When niggas get hot they lickin' shots at the cops 
Come with me (uh ha) I take you back to 1983 
It was shell top sneakers and it was all about me 
Me growin' up makin' a man out of myself 
Kindergarden's cool I'm thinkin' about makin' to the 12th 
Semester went by, by 5th grade I'm strugglin' 
My mind was on bitches and smoke I'm not functioning 
On waht I need to be to get me through 
The world is a school, and me? Fuck it I'm rollin' with the crew 
Now boom there it is I'm labelled as 
An eleven year old, a 5th grade fast ass 
A year went by (uh ha) and I'm still bad as hell 
I got a taste of jail nothin' major I'm only twelve 
My grandmas pissed off not understandin' what's happenin' 
But come with me, creep into the darkening 
(Back in the day) It's southwest 
Fuck with Jamal you catch two to your chest 
Contest if a nigga want to fool 
I be the leader of the new school I straight rule 
That was (back in the days) the days of wayback 
But nowadays it's all about million stacks (word) 

Hook (x2) 

Verse 2: 
It all started on December 25th 1991 on the Illadelphiatic streets 
Jamal took a step up and gave his rep to someplay 
Prayin' that I make it to this day 
I met this female her name was El 
Said she liked my style of rap we chatted for a little while 
Told me haps on how to make the snaps 
She said she lived in Atlanta where business booms like rockets 
And she had connects outta sockets 
We exchanged numbers and I was off to the crib 
Cause January 1st I had to start my bid (for what?) 
For being a wild unruling child 
A week my granny sent complaints to the juevenile 
Finally January 1st, the day I hated 
My granny flew away to Georgia I got reinslated 
Now I'm off, no more sun for a year of two 
No more get high no more lampin' with the crew 
(what could you do?) Nothin' so I lamped for about 20 months and a half 
Then I got amped (what?) 
I'm losing my mind, I can't take (what) 
All of this bullshit I'm about to break (Where?) 
Atlanta where they got some wealth to share 
Hits the poster with my granny I got some tracks to tear 
So I did it, soon as I got home I did it 
Then I got that bitch Janey Ace to get the ticket and I'm out 

Hook (x2) 

Verse 3: 
A wild little shortie on the straight looney expedition 
Gut a nigga (uh ha) who
