[00:18.13]Oh don't you know
[00:19.00]Now let's take a little trip down memory lane
[00:21.69]When brothers played nothing but the d**e game
[00:23.58]East 14th and 73rd
[00:25.54]That's where the slangers hung tough sellin' bird
[00:27.92]And if you go to Sabreny Park don't get caught slippin'
[00:30.20]'Cause they poppin' a caps in little marks after dark
[00:32.14]And right across the way is a hood called Brookfield
[00:34.83]And all over the bay they all know about the 69 ville
[00:38.05]Ridin' down MacArthur don't get caught trick
[00:40.22]Or you'll be sittin' on bricks

[01:35.73]And ask the Lord to bless the homies
[01:36.93]Who here and those who passed away
[01:38.79]'Cause there's really no win in this game
[01:40.60]A hype beginning then 9 times out of 10 a sad ending
[01:43.28]I lift my head to the sky
[01:44.64]For all the homies who died
[01:45.60]They'd rather be in their grave instead of poor or tired
[01:48.00]So beware 'cause they really don't care
