Young gunnintorturedno need to be punished (yeah)

All we have of the system is big cabbage

Lifestyles is lavishlivin my life from dallas

It was a challengelivin my life like a savage

To have or to not to have it or nobody can have it

Un-touch-ableinde-struct-able

Get in my way and we're dustin you

As a kid this the type of shit that we dreamed of

Moneycarsbitches and drugs

I prevailthe crack sales then got in jail

Couldn't post bail now my home is livin in a cell

Thirty years with no parole as I grow old

You won't see me on the streets til I'm 60 years old
