0:07I spy with my little eye
0:11A murderer a murderer
0:14So long the ratchet in the streets
0:16You never heard of her streets you never heard of her
0:22These are the people who are trying hard to slip over trying hard to slip over
0:28We're sailing always sailing in the sea of years go by
0:32I know I know I know I came a long way
0:35Oh yeah with from my heart knock all day
0:37I kill a killed with a spitter 9 mm on my hip with the debt
0:40Then sign me a dealer
0:42Had it hard so you been a ni**a cry me a river
0:44Cause I'm from the piss and life's grind me his liver
0:48I mean it's spitter then brooder then fruit her
0:50Then I'm really little
0:51Got a brother and a sister and I'm in the middle
0:53Mother trying to figure out how to we me a dinner
0:56Then I had a piece of bread for my little ni**a
0:59Cause he waiting outside
1:00Too shy to ask and too young to die
1:03Too weak to rob and too good to lie
1:05Two years go by he a killer
1:08Pissed up high the pillar then he go to work
1:10Monkey see monkey do grow the gorilla
1:12So he turn another wife into a widow
1:15Which turned another son into a bidder
1:17Root of all evil it's all lethal
1:19Injection without interjecting for people
1:21Fall back but ain't no kush around here
1:24This is my block call a cock block
1:26Cause ain't no p**sy round here
1:27He's a hard head and a pot head
1:30If he'll keep it up he'll be a chop head
1:32But he heard his voice in the future instead
1:34And he said
1:35If even small it seem so high
1:40It's just a wall I made it on the other side
1:46And I won't let you slide
1:49Love won't break I'll catch you on the other side
2:01Metsie metsie for all my blessings in the murk seat
2:05Cause sometimes it could've gotten messy
2:07Like if my shot came and left me
2:09Still acting willing dumb and thirsty
2:12Still saying come and test me
2:13Still selling crack by young ol Wesley
2:16And low wage cops can still can arrest me
2:18That's just not sexy
2:20I know you feel it who would've thought
2:22I would go four wheeling in Morocco
2:25With a fine dime I brought from Stockholm
2:27Take it from a war child never enlisted
2:29Life is twisted like
2:31I'm not the only one Lenin said
2:34Chapman is here but Lenin's dead
2:36If even small it seem so high
2:41It's just a wall I made it on the other side
2:46And I won't let you slide
2:50Love won't break I'll catch you on the other side
3:01Don't let me go astray
3:08Cause I am afraid
3:16I need your strength
3:22So I won't be afraid
3:30I spy with my little eye
3:34A murderer a murderer
3:37So long the ratchet in the streets
3:39You never heard of her streets you never heard of her
3:44These are the people who are trying hard to slip over trying hard to slip over
3:51We're sailing always sailing in the sea of years go by
I spy with my little eye A murderer a murderer So long the ratchet in the streets You never heard of her streets you never heard of her These are the people who are trying hard to slip over trying hard to slip over We're sailing always sailing in the sea of years go by I know I know I know I came a long way Oh yeah with from my heart knock all day I kill a killed with a spitter 9 mm on my hip with the debt Then sign me a dealer Had it hard so you been a ni**a cry me a river Cause I'm from the piss and life's grind me his liver I mean it's spitter then brooder then fruit her Then I'm really little Got a brother and a sister and I'm in the middle Mother trying to figure out how to we me a dinner Then I had a piece of bread for my little ni**a Cause he waiting outside Too shy to ask and too young to die Too weak to rob and too good to lie Two years go by he a killer Pissed up high the pillar then he go to work Monkey see monkey do grow the gorilla So he turn another wife into a widow Which turned another son into a bidder Root of all evil it's all lethal Injection without interjecting for people Fall back but ain't no kush around here This is my block call a cock block Cause ain't no p**sy round here He's a hard head and a pot head If he'll keep it up he'll be a chop head But he heard his voice in the future instead And he said If even small it seem so high It's just a wall I made it on the other side And I won't let you slide Love won't break I'll catch you on the other side Metsie metsie for all my blessings in the murk seat Cause sometimes it could've gotten messy Like if my shot came and left me Still acting willing dumb and thirsty Still saying come and test me Still selling crack by young ol Wesley And low wage cops can still can arrest me That's just not sexy I know you feel it who would've thought I would go four wheeling in Morocco With a fine dime I brought from Stockholm Take it from a war child never enlisted Life is twisted like I'm not the only one Lenin said Chapman is here but Lenin's dead If even small it seem so high It's just a wall I made it on the other side And I won't let you slide Love won't break I'll catch you on the other side Don't let me go astray Cause I am afraid I need your strength So I won't be afraid I spy with my little eye A murderer a murderer So long the ratchet in the streets You never heard of her streets you never heard of her These are the people who are trying hard to slip over trying hard to slip over We're sailing always sailing in the sea of years go by
