Kickin` at the curb strollin` mothers bay
Little naked kid it`s where I used to play
Dad paints the house on the stereo
Reggae music plays and it just goes to show
You can`t shake what you`ve been sold
Roots so deep I can feel the fold
Had not a clue that my mind been mold
Now I`ve gone and done what I`ve been told
I can`t trust no man because of those days
I can`t trust no man I can`t trust no man
It don`t bother me that I grew up this way
They way it was coulda blew my mind away
A scale of dope a couple bars of gold
No man got my trust over my control
