I came out of a killer, neighborhood called river Where life expectancy is shorter than a caterpillar I was once a gorilla, and this show was my cage My trina was the gauge, ak was my baby sitter When we be out and looted, the whole city was shooting I know it's fucked up but somehow, this army came shooting Niggas heard african rappers and thought about them voodoo It's superman, tell the real soldier boy come to shoot you Same food and of course what you... nigga Fuck what you heard, yeah nigga Come walk in the dark no fear nigga It's a... my eyes no tears nigga Working malaria, your hood can't even compare here Got keys, they really love barriers Come... here, I'm daring you I'll shoot your... ain't afraid like give me a... lemonade You up my school... while playing catch with a hand grenade Yeap, that's a true story, this ain't hollywood glory I ain't the prince of the... my life is too... I'm tired of always going through barriers I just wanna live a good life So I'm coming, coming to america, I hope we gonna have a good time Baby thanks for letting me marry ya ... car sure looks fine So I'm coming, coming to america, I hope we gonna have a good time Now my second home city, what can I say It took my fucking heart from me I played the judge part and I...
