Yo Sham!
 Yo SHAM!!!
  Yo yo yo!

 How you doin man?
  Chillin man
 What you fuckin with that cat over there for?
  He is my nigga  son.
 Nahah  don't fuck around with that nigga  yo.
  What you sayin god?
 I know that nigga
  what? I gotta hold it down for my homes  son
 Lemme talk to ya for a second man  c'mere  c'mere
 I been through bullshit, forced to pull shit at the enemy
 if I did it homes, it was the end of me
 back in the days, I'ma say like around your age
 -what makes you figure that?
 yo, I used to move the same ways
 carying guns, sell a nickle chums to bums
 run away from home, running through the streets with a chrome
 -nigga, fuck that, you see I'm livin on my own
 -my life is based on the same place and the same zone
 -thugs call me the Don, but never feel my calm
 -at the same time you know it's hard for me to stay on
 yeah I'm feelin ya, but at I gotta keep it real with ya
 only when you got dough, niggas wanna be with ya
 they feel ya out, find out about your whereabouts
 best friends turn enemies, plotting to take you out
 -but it's all good, becuz they show me love in tha hood
 -I got this shit locked,don't worry bout it. lemme cross ya out
 Chorus:
 Hey yo, I walk by myself,I die by myself
 cuz ain't nobody gonna help me but my goddamn self
 I do for my self,make moves for my self
 cuz ain't nobody gonna help me but my goddamn self
 I walk by myself,I die by myself
 cuz ain't nobody gonna help me but my goddamn self
 I do for my self,make moves for my self
 cuz ain't nobody gonna help me but my goddamn self
 Verse 2:
 You see them cats that you run with, they allways in some dumb shit
 I'm tellin you right now, them cats shouldn't fuck with
 -Now who the fuck is you? To tell me what to do?
 -tryin to start some real shit, tryin to make me flip on my crew
 Go ahead and play hardass! live your life fast
 tryin to warn you, seem like these streets got you gassed
 -I got a problem right now, and I can't maintain
 -I got some big time cat tryin ta split my fame
 -yo, you see me in the street and wanna scream my name
 -with some caked up voice, yo I made my chioce
 -Tim and his boys foul plans was to leave me moised
 -so I stood up,prayin to God that this ain't my last luck
 -yo they got me judged, call tha blue cross cops ran up
 *FREEZE!!!*
 -say please don't move too much, I think my man sat me up
 -on a fact(?) shining to much
 Left you wet up,same muthafuckas used to friend up
 got you hospitalized, look how you end up
 hooked up to a respirator, body all bent up
 your moms callin me at my home,cryin on the phone
 why the fuck you didn't listen? wouldn't be in this position
 you still breathing, a chance to change the way you living
 -no more claiming the streets, I got a daughter to raise
 -if i would've listened to you, I would never have got blaised
 -now I'm fucked up,laying in this bed cramped up
 -needles in my arm, thinkin how these cats play tough
 -real thoughts in my head,oh how I showed 'em love
 -fuck it, from now on gotta keep my shit real calm
 -plans to move up outta there, and grab my family to be gone
 Chorus
