Nowwwwwwwwwwww I come from, the Oakland town
Task force roll and rock, cold cracked down
Young brothers my age makin dollars so long
Drive a brand new Benz with a cellular phone
See his diamonds and gold, call him Big Bank Bob
Got a ring for each finger and he can`t get a job
This is not a song I made about crack
It`s all about losin what you can`t get back
Cause the name of the game is to control yo` life
and all the things you do you must do them right
It`s not my life, it`s on you baby
What`s really goin on is that cash money
How you make it, it doesn`t matter to me
Work at MacDonald`s or just slang them ki`s
or you can be like me and go straight legit
Drive a brand new Benz and they can`t say shit
It`s your life, don`t be stupid dope..

Partners in your face, ain`t even your friend
Probably have to blast him if you see him again
And if you don`t blast him you`ll get shot in the head
Seven days later you`ll be buried and dead
I can`t be like that, the only thing you fear
Homeboy you can`t see it but you know it`s there
It`s called tomorrow, whatcha gonna do with that
cut school, sell a few dopefiends crack?
It`s not a one-way street, it`s more like a dead-end
So if you take it, you better turn back my friend
I know a lot of young brothers don`t think things through
They really don`t know what they wanna do
When you lag, you lose, you start payin your dues
You can`t kick back and let your bankroll stack
You`ll be stuck on stupid, for smokin a friend
Ten years from now you`ll still be in the pen
It`s your life, don`t be stupid dope..

I got my eighteens pumpin, ridin the five
People lookin at me like I stole the ride
Am I a gangster, player, makin them G`s
cocaine dealer with the Z`s and V`s
Can`t tell em nothin, so I say, "Whassup?"
They get mad, I don`t give a fuck
I keep ridin, sidin, whippin and dippin
Look at all my homeboys trippin
They`ll knock you out, one punch like the champ
Goin to jail is like summer camp
We shake hands one day, kill each other the next
And if you don`t like it it`s just like that
Cause I come from, the city of dope
It couldn`t be saved by John the Pope
But since I have the chance, I`ll say in the rhyme:
we have to stop the killin sometime (soon)
It`s your life, don`t be stupid dope..
