Time it makes you old,
experience makes you wise.
it's only a fool who judges life
by what he sees in other people's eyes.
The decisions that you cast
effect the outcome of your game
the only person who's gonna think about you
is the one that's standing in your shoes
Live by the sword die by the sword,
I'm a weapon of my set.
The only family that I've ever known
Is the gun that's by my side.
Little big man he's not alone now, he's all grown up
his stories written all along these city walls.
Found unity, he's gained a brotherhood
as they gather to beat you down,
the fists reign hard, the fightin' never stops.
There's no mercy in this town
And I don't know when it's gonna' end for me,
this side of town is all I know it's all I see
If I go on like this I'm gonna' end it all myself one day,
it's my destiny it's my reality, it's society.
I wear colors proud but dont stare me down
I've got a million scars to prove my pain
You think you know who I am try walking a mile in my shoes.
Quick on the draw never walk alone
know your enemy never be afraid, it's what they always say
Till they come around for you.
Ghetto birds light the evening sky
as the sun begins to fall
Another night he'll spend in this jungle
with his back up against the wall.
