Chorus: 
Here's a little story I got to tell 
And this dis goes on  again and again 
Uh  Uh 
Here's a little story I got to tell 
And this dis goes on  again and again 
Uh  Uh 
Here's a little story I got to tell 
And this dis goes on  again and again 
Uh  Uh 
Here's a little story I got to tell 
And this dis goes on  again and again

Verse 1: 
I think it goes  ya live by the dirt  ya die by the shovel 
You can repent and come with god or you can know a devil 
You can go and get a job or you can do some federal 
but if I were you, I'd straighten up and do some next level 
I often tweek when I drive (drives) 
How can a small town like Thelel have all these homocides 
Man, fools be droppin like flies 
Maybe we need mo brothers sellin bean pies 
And it's a fool cuz everybody mama's know each other 
It ain't cool, but you know black folks like to act they color 
Wonder why all the good people get put through some many 
different changes of the web 
And all those folks that do wrong seem like they 
live forever 
I wish I can rewind time 
Remember when we used to get free lunch, and the 
city bus used to cost a dime 
Runnin around, talkin about you got the cooties 
Liftin up skirts, and touchin girl's booties 
Boy, take those shoes off before ya come up in dis house 
And whatever you do, don't you sit on grandmama's plastic 
covered couch 
Why is it that when all the homeys get togethor, we get back 
in the dayz 
And I can remember a time we get drunk somebody bring up AIDS 
Life is something you catch ball and give back 
Here today and gone tomorrow 
Just like that 
Pat yo rats on yo back (Patch your rats on your back)
