it's true (remix)

for someone start with my nigga al mack

the first real nigga i lost

even though he used to gang bang

we'll never be able to see his chain swang

but that's that jesus piece lost

cause he would have rocked it well

but instead he rocked that hair full of braids braided by his girl leesi

with the semi on

nigga had game kinda cold

never killed a soul

so he never had a problem

with thinking hisself was gettin' old

livin' life like it never would happen

shit

niggas dyin' like life really goin' full circle

thought we was gon' live to see it all

'til that day that he died on a head-on collision with a motorcycle

it's true

cool niggas die too

yeah nigga

it's true

cool niggas die too

it could happen to me

it could happen to you

but yeah it's true

california economics

killer assignments

school test scores drop

murder rates climbin'

scarface where you watch

try to reenact

and launched over the balcony

buck shots in our backs

every day casualties got me losin' my sanity

cannons be within arm reach

i'm all panicky

last week i had a run in with my enemy's friend

shit

finna be dead man quick

grab the pistola

hollup

complimentary of the cig

but then the boys rolled up

we both admit

close call

the ghetto is like a quick game of tennis ball

you're probably well preserved until you get served

through the knowledge i get a few dollars

you gettin' demolished

if you cruise through compton wearin' red or blue

see colors in these niggas eyes

is like a favorite color bein' told by the blind

don't really matter

i met jamico when i went to high-school

they stayed around the corner bur shit

i never knew

me and kisel ken in the basement playing drums

making music

while she fussin' yellin down the stairs

i'm on the phone you losers

i remember late for school every morning thirsty for that mickey d's

not knowin' the death of her mother matured her very quickly

so we gon' fast forward school graduated

went to college got married

they had a pretty little girl but the world couldn't make her tardy

died from a seizure at her daughter's birthday party

it's true

cool niggas die too

yeah nigga

it's true

cool niggas die too

it could happen to me

it could happen to you

but yeah it's true

uhn

blue chucks

swing glocks

they both in my pants

i'm a gangsta i can do no wrong

fuck with the lights on

and say i love you baby

cause tomorrow may not make it to me

i got a kilo and a seven series

when a crown went crack

nigga

i bet the gun sale plat

oh

atf be on that sucker shit

they hate a black nigga with getting money's involved

got an ounce in my draws

i just wanna live forever my nigga

took the blue pill

crack the axillae

if q said it then you know that shit real

pistol grip up

on my lap all times

i used to drive a honda

with the dimes inside

now drive by is by the marks that killed bebe's kids

so the gun is who my role model is

the illest crip in a benz

look

i'm never half of my steppin'

i'm never not with my weapon

so you'll get got in a second like

it's true

cool niggas die too

yeah nigga

it's true

cool niggas die too

it could happen to me

it could happen to you

but yeah it's true

gotta understand my disposition

see i was raised a little different

disenchanted former county check recipient

reminiscin' of a mexican immigrant

'cept the border's my existence

stripped away my innocence

constantly conflicted over color restrictions

you outta your district

you end up on a milk carton missin'

that's average every day california livin'

race riots in the yard spill outside of the prison

besides the killings

west coast cap peelin'

this california lifestyle was so appealin'

imagine the women

exotic cars

custom driven

you on your hollywood thing

what a beautiful feelin'

ain't it?

such a perfect picture painted

yet it's tainted by the unfortunate and less famous

i ain't complainin'

it's home

just somethin' to ride to when you're off in the zone

this a little somethin' you can ride and smoke to

stay on point

niggas will ride and smoke you

this a little somethin' you can ride and smoke to

stay on point

niggas will ride and smoke you

wanna be involved with the underworld dealers

east coast bodyers

west coast cap peelers

wanna be involved with the underworld dealers

east coast bodyers

west coast cap peelers
