Verse 1
Its kinda of funny how the world turns
I write a rap and let the blunt burn
Think to myself who i was just a couple of years ago
Now i have homies in my shoes doing time or out on parol
Trapped in the system
Fallen a victim
To their governments
Society lables you a convict when their done with you
Its like somehow, someway
You just cant over come this shit
Try not to get the third strike
But still you wanna come up real quick
You couldn't get a descent job
Because you got tatts in the face
Pockets empty so you went and put a strike on your waist
I know exactly how it is
When your trying not to fall
Locked up behind the wall
Visitation or collect calls
Too many homies of mine
Getting caught up for crimes
Judges breaking mothafuckas off for too much time
And its a shame homies fallen a victim to the game
25 to life and thats life in the game.
Verse 2
He was only 13
Influenced by his peers
Jumped in the neighbor-hood
And got a tattoo tear
All the homies gave him a strap
Yeah he didnt have no fears
Slanging and doing dope
His mind never was clear
He stared into a duration
That he soon would regret
Making mothafuckas bleed for disrespecting his set
He wouldnt listen to nobody
Went in one ear and out the other
Disrespecting his mother
Even stealing money for her
Now what was a shame
Was the homie was naive to the game
Thinking all he wanted to do in life was run the streets and bang
Until he got caught with a strap
Facing triple homicide
Tried and convicted as an adult
Now he's facing 25
And thats life in the varrio
Thats just hows its done
You grab a strap
Cock and shoot it up for the neighbor-hood your from.
