Mack D-Shot, brought up by the middle class
 I did time for crime cuz I was living ass
 I spent two on the lockdown in Preston
 To hire me is way out the question
 Jail cells for a black man's punishment
 Didn't give a damn cuz the other man's runnin it
 Now I'm back on the streets, I gotta compete so
 But you can't beat no case
 When you're trapped in the system
 The government, want you to diss them
 Now I'm back on the bed, where I once slept on
 I'm tired of being stepped on
 [B-Legit]
 I ain't prejudiced, I gots nathan on the white man
 I'm only down for my folks who is right and
 so what's wrong with potnah with the gat on the job
 He wanna squab cuz it seems I'm the mob
 Pull you over, then he searchin your whole car
 Fo' deep and you gotta be the rock star
 "So where's the crack main? So where's the gats main?
 You know you brothers, you call it a black thang"
 I'm not in your hood, up to no-good-ism
 So won't you go on with all the old racism
 Unless you want me to take, the law in my own hands
 Cuz dude, I'm a strong man
 And that's a black man, tired of being stepped on
 In the late night, always get crept on
 By some authority who needs to really be fired
 Cuz Legit is straight tired

 Play Bay, back of hill and up there by Real
 Twenty-two months of eatin that stuff on a shingle
 Ninety days left, I'm almost out of jail
 On a mission about my meal, to the hillside of Vallel
 There I will sell, rocks so slick
 Build up clientele, and hit the task hill
 No other choice, I'm on parole I got a felony
 I look for a job, but then they diss me, diss me
 Man, my mother is disabled I ain't got no food on the table
 All I can afford is noodles with the generic label
 This goes on for about a week and a half
 I need to think fast, I need some cash let me water my grass
 and make it greener, then I started think of all types of
 gimmicks and gadgets, as I looked through the cabinets
 Man, what should I do my friend, hop in the game again?
 I guess I'm headed for the pen
