[Chorus: Jim Jones]

Around my wayyyyy (Ok this ya boy Jones aka Capo Status)

Around my wayyyyy (I'm about to take you through my way you know the

projects and all that, I'm from Harlem ya'll)

Where the corners filled with sorrow (But I think ummm..)

All the streets are filled with pain

(every hood, every ghetto, every gutter, that's my way, you dig)

Around my wayyyyy (I love it like that, straight like that, Eastside)



[Verse 1: Jim Jones]

Around my way is where this road started (Harlem!)

This little wild motherfucker grew up cold-hearted, rolled the hardest (yeah!)

And I was runnin' all through the projects (Taff)

Till I got caught up on some bogus charges

brought up learnin' loadin' cartridge (lock and load)

This little drama had dreams

I used to run on the scene, gun in between stomach and jeans (jack move jack)

Its only by the good of God, that we make it past 25 on my boulevard (and we still here)

Hmmm and Lord knows my hood is hard

Fuck around you could barred caught up on a gooder charge (that coke!)

I fell in love with the sound of the blicker-blast (bldddddat!)

I roll around in this town where these niggaz mad (Eastside!)

Wit' shifty plans, it gets me man

How they try to get a kilo out of 15 gram

Damn, damn I mean some say we trippin' (why)

Cause we rather stand on corners get our dollars of pitchin (that's right)



[Chorus: Jim Jones]

Around my wayyyyy

(It's do or die, hope my niggaz'll ride

It's do or die, hope my niggaz survive)

Around my wayyyyy

(It's do or die, hope my niggaz'll ride

It's do or die, hope my niggaz survive)

All the corners filled with sorrow (yea)

All the streets are filled with pain

Around my wayyyyy (Harlem)

(Hope my niggaz'll ride, it's do or die hope my niggaz survive)



[Verse 2: Jim Jones]

By my way, these niggaz livin' for the foul play (they greasy)

Brothers gunnin', babies runnin' this where the childs play (watch 'em)

Puffin' grass, cuttin class, jus' tryin' play my part (straight g's)

Bustin' Mags, dust and cash, jus' tryin' to play my mark (that money)

Starvin' nights, startin' fights, jus' like a trouble-maker (what's poppin'!)

Through the nights, blue and whites, hope they don't cuff and take us

(fuck the police!)

Pourin' liquor, for my niggaz, the ones that's dead and gone (R.I.P.!)

Loadin' triggers, holdin' blickers, so we can get it

on (Blllldddddddaaaat!)

Yeah, he we go buggin' out

I mean some are blooded-in

But there ain't no bloodin'-out

I'm on that same bullshit my big buzzings is about

Homocide, drive-by, loaded clips and spit 'em out

Got birds for money, on the curb we hungry

And I promise that my way is like a 3rd world country (fuck it!)

We doomed for the cage (yeah!)

I never let go of my ghetto, still shoot through my way

Around my way



[Chorus]



[Verse 3: Jim Jones]

I got some people, about my casaleo

Te matan, tu madre like "Ay bendito" (dito!)

No hable ingles, but they fuma llerbita

Move with them heaters, in tune with my medas (demelo!)

And to my goons and negritas

Shout to my nigga El Lobo

Who get in rojo and spit and the popo (que pasol!)

Over bricks with them lobos

The kid 'ill go loco and grip up the .44 and spit it like uh-oh (hey pato)

Along the way, I'm scoopin' games in this manly fashion (that's right)

And by the way, I'm movin' caine while I'm blammer-blastin (fuck that)

When will it change, the restraints to the man harrassin'

I gotta say I still love this shit

Around my way



[Chorus]



[Outro: Jim Jones overlaping chorus towards the middle]

Yeah, this one goes to my way

All my G's, all my soldiers

'Round my way keep ya head up

We jus' started, we bubblin'

Hun-15th and 7th

Hun-15th and Lennox

Hun-12th and 5th, the border of 1st Avenue

That's my way

Whole Westside of Harlem

Whole Washington Heights, all my Dominicans

They all around my way

You know, Chi-Town, K-Town

That's up there by my way, smell me

Whole Ohio, Ackren, Colombus, Cinncinati

That's my way

Whole New Jersey, Newark, them LB's

That's my way

Shout outs to Patterson (Shags, Lulu)

That's my way

Whole North-Cackalacka, Greensboro, come down there

That's my way

Can't forget Miami, Day-County

That's all around my way

Shout outs to Atlanta, down in Bank-Head, my niggaz down there in the Trap

That's my way

Big shout out to Houston...
