Trouble Man (feat. Vinia Mojica)

(Go, clap your hands to what he's doin')
(Yeah, y'all) yeah, fellas
How we do, you know we down
Yeah, boy (check it out, y'all)

Check out the avenue, New York, New York the Rotten Apple
We grapple in the streets to stack loot and slip the shackles
I'm currently, serving 29 to life
Ducking the searchlight, no sleep for like the third night
The big life is trife, got the young kids hyped
Cops shoot on sight, heat pipe be blowing through the night
The land where you ain't fam, there's no pity
Similar to Chocolate City, ten times gritty

Hitting hard, liquor's God, niggas plotting on the come off
And come off, quicker than the clothes on the stripper
And slide like she doin' up and down the railing
Bitch tailing in the Range with Golden Arms, smooth sailing
The clock's ticking, somebody's on the block snitching
The plot thickens, phones are tapped, cops listen
Too hot for prison, plus too cold to hold my girl
'Cause I married this life, and she's my whole world

It's just a sign of the times
Calmly listen to these lines
I'm going out of my mind
Living the street life

Ayo, ayo
Make me wanna holla way they do my life
My life is like a carousel, one endless night
Where most die for pies, some holding their chrome
A large percent die for causes not even their own
When the Inspectah Deck be long dead and gone
Long live the INS clone they working on
'Til then, I hold a section, I stand alone no co-defendant
Showing the weapon, this saga had no story ending

It's ghetto heaven, and at the same time hell shots propel
The one that missed me got Chanel
In the future ruled by computer, I self tutor
The music is the simulator, facing the user
I do it for those who walk the same road
And no regrets do I hold for the path I chose
No sleep since the intro, patrol the windows
I reminisce, with the chalice and my eyes half closed

If I could do it again, I'd probably do it the same
Thought I was through with the game, I'm going through it again
The hood life, I'm in it to the limit
Couldn't quit it for a digit, die for it, 'cause I live it

It's just a sign of the times
Calmly listen to these lines
I'm going out of my mind
Living the street life

Yo, been around the world but just can't seem to leave
The state of mind that causes tangled web I weave
Made my home in the heart of it
Move like Seagal, "Hard Target"
Most want no part of it, it's logic
Cutthroat party in the Shark Pit
Cold-blooded souls carry bulldogs and oxes, knowledge this
Maintain and remain sane
In the cold world where the rules ain't changed

Still rebel to society, government be eyeing me
They probably watching me right now as I'm speaking
But all I'm guilty of is teaching you the truth
They got proof, so you know I'll be home before the weekend
The hood life, I'm in it to the limit
In it from the scrimmage, living it, loving every minute
And every hour 'til the powers that be
Eventually stress me to the death

Y'all know the science, right? (Death with the intellect)
A'ight, a'ight
Represent, I make it hot
13th chamber, specialist from the Bricks

It's just a sign of the times
Calmly listen to these lines
I'm going out of my mind
Living the street life

Street life, so trife
Street life for life
Feels like
Feels like my paradise

Yeah, y'all, uh-huh
Yeah, y'all, uh-huh
Yeah, y'all, uh-huh
Yeah, y'all, uh-huh
Yeah, y'all, uh-huh
Yeah, y'all, uh-huh
Yeah, y'all, uh-huh
