                      New cases new lawyers 



                      im becoming the infamous notorious rule



                      Niggaz couldn't walk a mile in my shoes



                      Niggaz don't possess the heart that I do



                      And it's a wonder that im still here



                      Thought I was gone but im still here



                      And all you bitches that left me here



                      Its kinda funny how you right back there
