I was wounded early,
Soon I learned the wounds made me
Didn’t want to be robbed at a job
They labeled me lazy
Forced me to fit in
Until I almost went crazy
Detention hall,
Pigs tried to taze me
Penitentiary walls
But I wouldn’t let it phase me,
Taught us no pain, no gain
So we learned to slumber sound
And act real tame
Assembly-line style,
numbered, given a name
Told we’d be cut off if we didn’t remain
Loyal to dirty games, structures we didn’t create
Lived lives so sedate, just wanted to find a mate
Rarely tried to create or transform, they said it was too late
Don’t betray the norm, or smash the pearly gates
Of our segre-gated communities

They tell us we were born and bred
To serve and obey ‘til the day we’re dead
But my conscience is not for sale or rent
To the godly, the greedy, or the government

Keep it real
We elevate for respect
Back around my way
Had that good OG Kush connect,
Moving pounds in North Cackalack,
Before I caught my first case
Seven felonies back-to-back
On my 19th birthday
Judge through the book at my face
Spent 3 years in a cage
Undercover pinned the
Scarlet letter to my name for
Pushing weight duty-free
Then I moved to Cascadia
Where Washington has got the legal weed
The THC is TNT,
Medicinally or recreationally
Now the pigs can’t shake the streets cause everyone’s smoking
The realest OGs puff in the open with no fear getting choked for holding
Bullshit charges for something that grows all over
Light it up, let the bud flow, the weed is potent

They tell us we were born and bred
To serve and obey ‘til the day we’re dead
But my brain is not for sale or rent
To the godly, the greedy, or the government

The suns zenith on the Horizon,
Running through city streets
No thoughts of screeching sirens
The lunatics have taken over the asylum,
Boundless energy we bathed in the fountain of youth,
Before countless enemies stole years from my crew
Before we learned the straight and narrow was a full circle
Snakes choking on their tail, Auro Boris got murdered
Finally figured out what their afraid of,
The differences that made us
Who we we’re, some kept the flame alive,
Some got lost in the herd, others ran and hide,
me I kept my word
