Nineteen-seventy-something, nigga, I don't sweat the date
My moms was late, so I had to plan my escape
Out the skins, in this world of fly girls
Tanqueray and Hennessy until I called Earl
Ten months in this gut, what the fuck?
I wish moms would hurry up so I can get buck
Wild, juvenile, whipping mics and shit
New York, New York, ready for the likes of this?
Then came the worst date, May 21st
2:19 Is when my mama water burst
No spouse in the house, so she rolled for self
To the hospital to see if she could get a little help
Umbilical cords wrapped around my neck
I'm seeing my death and I ain't even took my first step
I made it out, I'm bringing mad joy
The doctor looked and said, "He's gonna be a bad boy"

Would 'Pac be alive if you let 'Pac drive?
Swear to God, to reverse it I'd give my left eye
With the right, I visualize the King of Bed-Stuy
Checking his daughter T'yanna into junior high
If I was in Brooklyn and B.I. was still alive
In 2006, it might sound like this
NY 718s, 212s
Where Sue's rendezvous is like Moulin Rouge
High fashion, uptown Air Force Ones
And Vasqueze, Puerto Ricans with fat asses
Blaze Dutch Masters, we dump ashes
On models in S-Classes for you bastards
Catch a cab to Manhattan with that Broadway acting
You hike that belly shit, I'll get you capped and wrapped in plastic
Tell the Captain, "Ask Rog' what's happening"
I hear nor speak no evil inside the Magnum

Now I'm 13, smoking blunts, making cream
On the drug scene, fuck the football team
Risking ruptured spleens by the age of 16
Hearing the coach scream, make my lifetime dream
I mean, I wanna blow up, stack my dough up
So school, I didn't show up, it fucked my flow up
Moms said that I should grow up and check myself
Before I wreck myself, disrespect myself
Put the drugs on the shelf, nah, couldn't see it
Scarface, king of New York, I wanna be it
Rap was secondary, money was necessary
Until I got incarcerated, kinda scary
C-74 Mark VIII set me straight
Not able to move behind the great steel gate
Time to contemplate, damn, where did I fail?
All the money I stacked was all the money for bail
