live your life

you're embarrassing raymond washington

and tookie williams

you're not even part of revolutionary progress

they were built in

if young g's follow you

it's the blind leading the blind

all you can teach em

is how to throw up gang signs

community loyalty united eternally

that's what i claim

check my back left pocket

and the flag that hang

to me it's a way of living

but to you it's just a gang

thinking you can get something from me

cause you say we the same thang

i'm a man first

then my mother's child

joseph wayne mcvey

then i'm h-double o-v-a

i wish i knew who your o.g. was

cause i'd smoke him

leave both of y'all with your eyes open

my o.g. use to say

take your time

young g

my o.g. use to say

don't be in a rush

to get striped

my o.g. use to say

keep your flag

on the proper side

and as long as you keep it real

you can live your life

live your life

in jail

niggaz bang for soups and sodas

but when the real shit hit the real fan

they won't go in the corner

i don't even see the point

of banging on lock

cause i don't know none of these niggaz

and this ain't my block

mr. o.g. you about to leave

please don't hand me the keys

i don't wanna be in charge of these wannabe's

i'm not a babysitter

somebody call me daddy when i'm in the world

i see more go to fo'

in my lil' girl

don't get it twisted

i see if you real b's and c's

and walk it the way they talk it

not just trying to be seen

cool as a fan

but when it get gangsta they'll have that tool in they hand

banging up your gang

even swell up your hand

i know i can't sell weed

cause i be smoking

i know i can't see a pimp either

because i'ma be doing too much poking

and i can't turn a hoe

into a housewife

although i tried

guess i got caught up in them thick ass thighs

you live and you learn

sometimes my life is like a movie

even my own loc's

trying to do me

but i said try

fucking over joseph just ain't gon' fly

you gon' need a steak

to put over your eye that's on the h

it's death before dishonor

and i live by the code

i would do you for the slightest reason

my gun is gon' unload

so don't run up on me

talking bout a knowledge check

nowadays wannabe bloods and crips

getting it off the internet

i guess you can

get the game for free

but homie

you won't get the game from me

and when i pray i pray to god

i don't bow my head to no other man

keeping that cracking is a part of my plan

yeeeah
