this can't be life
Singer:jay-z
where's all my street niggaz
let's reflect. e'rybody got a story
we all ghetto b - here's mine
see i was -- born in sewage
flow tight like i was born jewish
used the streets as a conduit - i kept arms
38 longs inside my mom's buick
at any given moment shawn could lose it
iron cuffs - arms through it; or stuffed with embalmin fluid
i'm goin through it - mom dukes too
tears streamin down her pretty face
my life is gettin too wild
i need to bring some sort kinda calm to it
bout to lose it; voices screamin don't do it!"
