[Left]

Yeah, we just takin a break before the next song comes in

I hope yall appreciatin what your gettin to hear right now

I hope ya appreciatin what your listenin to

This shit here is Frontline music

Lets go..



[Locksmith]

Yo, Yeah we got a story to tell

Now I ain't had the best life

But I damn sure ain't have the worse one

Imma let ya niggas know like this



I don't consider myself a self centered selfish person at all

But sometimes the streets bring out the worse in us all

Sometimes a nigga scream out and curse at the wall

I am not numb to pain it still hurts when I fall

I am not one to blame for other persons involve

I cannot stop another niggas urges to fall

I can just jot what I see through verses for yall

And paint a picture of the drug deals murders and brawl

See the neighborhood I grew up in the streets would chew up men

Swallow up goals and spew up flin

Inhale cough up souls and spew up sin

And regurgitate the fate of niggas losin they kin

Simpathetic not the least bit

Atleast with the consumption of sellin dope

You could float off the street shit

Still gotta eat shit

Whether it's right or it's wrong

It all depends on who you talk to or spit shit



[Chorus]

Life'll treat you cold through times

I don't know about yours but I love mines

I'm still livin

I got my niggas in the pin

And they say the same thing when I holla at em

I'm still livin

Sometimes I wanna act a fool

But it's harder cause I love my little daughter and

I'm still livin

And if they come no regrets

Understand i'm a man not a stone pegion

I'm still livin



[Left]

Now read the coke lines of crack cripes

The dope feins is stealin ya bikes

Buddy thats apart of my life

Watchin ya moms and pops toe to toe and then fight

Over some bullshit like cigerats with no regrets

Grandmother raised me my niggas make it connect

You know the situation when you in that situation

Where you can't sleep good cause you know that the dreams you facin

Are nothin but nightmares of your real life situations

Got my patience right before I still love em

Raised apart from my brothers but dogg I still love em

But I was raised with my aunts, uncles, and little cousins

I call my grandmother "mama" and my mama "mama"

My uncles my brother my aunt is my sister

But my uncles in the pin and godammit I miss him

And these mishaps has forced my family out of tradition

The come and cry and my nigga now



[Chorus]

Life'll treat you cold through times

I don't know about yours but I love mines

I'm still livin

I got my niggas in the pin

And they say the same thing when I holla at em

I'm still livin

Sometimes I wanna act a fool

But it's harder cause I love my little daughter and

I'm still livin

And if they come no regrets

Understand i'm a man not a stone pegion

I'm still livin



[Left]

Oh beautiful for spacious skies

Tell me why have you lied

And raped my woman strippin them of they pride

Probably laughed when my mama would cry

Cause she was out there

Stugglin on welfare and health care to get by

Probably took the shit as a joke

When you pepper sprayed my father in his face

And then choked him until his throat broke

Or when you hung my grandaddy from trees with a rope

And took pictures all laughin like look at this dead nigga



[Locksmith]

Yeah, Yo, Bullet holes in my neighbors kitchen

Prayin for wisdom the way the cards was delt

It felt cursed if you came from Richmond

The same affliction that every nigga was given

Drugs and television wined up in hell or prison

Still we had to move so we moved cause my mama was stressed

She didn't wanna see me stuck in that mess

She didn't wanna see a little boy gaspin for breath

Cause some jealous motherfucker thought my jacket was fresh



[Chorus]

Life'll treat you cold through times

I don't know about yours but I love mines

I'm still livin

I got my niggas in the pin

And they say the same thing when I holla at em

I'm still livin

Sometimes I wanna act a fool

But it's harder cause I love my little daughter and

I'm still livin

And if they come no regrets

Understand i'm a man not a stone pegion

I'm still livin
