whether we dribble out this motherfukker
rap metaphors and riddle out this motherfukker
work second floors hospital out this motherfukker
Some how, we gotta get up out this motherfukker


:mjcry:
Some day the cops'll kill a mawfukka
I don't always wanna be this drug dealing mawfukka, damn..
Wish I could take us all
On this magic carpet, ride through the sky
I, used to play the hall and 5th floor
Me and my boys, we all poor, getting high..
I, seen the worst of the worst
I deserve every blessing I received, I'm from the dirt..

Tears streamin down her pretty face, she got her palms to it

It's like '93, '94 - 'bout the year that BIG and Mack dropped
and Illmatic rocked
Outta every rag drop, and the West had it locked
Everybody doing them, I'm still stretching on the block
Like "Damn, I'ma be a failure"
Surrounded by thugs, drugs, and drug paraphernalia
Cops, courts and their thoughts, is to derail us
Three-time felons, in shorts, with jealous thoughts
Tryna figure where your mail is
Guesstimate the weight you selling
So they can send SHOTS, straight to your melon
WAIT! - it
gets worse, baby momma water burst
Baby came out stillborn, still I gotta move on
Though my heart still torn, life gone from her womb

Don't worry, if it was meant to be, it'll be soon…

This Can't Be Life all day. It's my favorite Jay song/verse of all time.
