[01:33.479996]Dear Born, you'll be out soon, stay strong

[01:51.82]And now they run together, what up son, whatever
[01:53.89]Since I'm on the streets I'ma put it to a cease

[02:30.70999]It kinda wants to make me murder, for real-a
[02:32.95999]I've even got a mask and gloves to bust slugs for one love
[02:55.20999]Sometimes I sit back with a buddha sack
[02:58.27]Mind's in another world thinking how can we exist through the facts
[03:01.51]Written in school text books, bibles, et cetera
[03:03.64]F**k a school lecture, the lies get me vexed-er
[03:06.01]So I be ghost from my projects
[03:08.31]I take my pen and pad for the week and hittin L's while I'm sleepin
[03:11.73]A two day stay, you may say I need the time alone
[03:14.35]To relax my dome, no phone, left the 9 at home
[03:17.04001]You see the streets have me stressed somethin terrible
