Yo this is going out to all my peeps locked downCharlie rock, ldAll my peeps who passed away, yeahVerse 1:I remember when we used to chill on a hillWhen forest projects, used to be godsvilleBrothers was wilin, others was coolSome hit the island, some smoked foolsMe I chose the life of crime since day one13 years old, already trying to cop a gunI never understood why my pops would beat meNo matter what I did, yo hed still mistreat meThats why I never listened to a thing he saidAnd I wasnt just mad when I used to wish him deadInstead, me and ma dukes kept tightPromised that one day everything would be alright14 years old, cutting mad classesPuffing on a bone, breaking car glassesNothing but dreams of cream on my mindShook mother*****ers on the block droppin dimeEverybody knew joey crack representedAnd if I told then Id take your lifeHey yo, I meant itThats the way it goesWhen you deal with the real fake jacksAnd get your cap peeledChorus:Hey joey, lets just get this moneyBrothas just be wilinHey joey, you cant trust nobodyBrothas they been triflinVerse 2:Yeah momma never said life would be so hardSometimes I find myself alone just praying to godHoping that today wont be the lastI mean, just the other day this kid I knew got blasted(say word) word, it wasnt over no cash.It was over some broad who liked to auction off the assHe was a cool kid, although we lost him bigIf he was a real nigga, then he wouldnt have got didLifes trife, and then you dieNobody dies of old age, but in the hands of another guyThats why I keeps an alibiJuliani wants to see a brother frySo I maintain to keep my mind peace focusedKeep the gat there in case a nigga wanna smoke thisTimes are difficult on the streets of new yorkIts kinda hard trying to hope for and not get caughtBlue eyes is on my back with intentions of arresting meBut they wont get the best of meCause riches are my destinyChorusVerse 3:No one expected me to blow like thisWhat was once hand me downsIs now the best of ? ? atanovich? ?Yukon jeeps creepin through the streetsCatching the eye of every big booty cheek freakDaten rims so shiny you can see your reflectionGreen plush interior, under the seatThe heat for protectionMomma look at me nowGot a house in long isle for my spouse and my childD.e.l. condos for first impression hoesNo more holes in my gibrosStrictly denim and clothesAirwaves blasting my latest singleAll up in the mecca clubMaking lucci while I mingleJingle jewels in the face of past enemiesEat your heart out son, you never was a friend to meChorusBig joe, south bronxRepreseeeeeent
