2001, five years after birth I saw a man drop dead In the dirt. No hearse Summertime but still a cold world Hood rats and platted naps, my whole world I ran out the house, French Toast school shirt and Dickies Tryna play without noticing neighbors acting sleazy for gangsters She could get the G-Eazy It was me, my older brother, younger and older female siblings Four of us on weekday at 7 AM just sitting When moms and dads gone to work Plot every way you gone do work My brother, eldest son, second oldest child, tall Two-toned, dark and smoked out like a Black and Mild He stood over us and it was understood we were following him through the hood He snatched up the rock. On our way to shoot hoops Little did we know today, he wouldn't be the only shooter Now, pay attention: every action has a consequence And coincidentally, our conscience were not woke Not conscious but we confident coming up the streets, yeah Coming up. Pumped up. Crunked up. Them fingers up We weren't to leave the house but if my little sister snitched We were sure to turn that mouse's vocal cords to silencer before she ratted us out And if you from my side, then you know The Law Funny, though cause the law ain't never been on our side Ain't never been on our side But if you from my side, then you know the law Funny, though cause the law ain't never been on our side Ain't never been on our side But if you from my side, then you know the law Funny, though Nonetheless, we were having fun My brother busting threes automatically like an M16 My older sister breaking knees Then pull up shooting like tommy gun Putting shots up in ya face When it hit, leave yo spirit stunned But man, my shot was splashing Draining threes on 'em Left 'em with nightmares and "Wet Dreamz" They know the J. Cole Then my brother drained a three and I got mad as I could be Then, I kicked the ball by the trees. His punches close to connecting And, so I went to get the ball. They decided to come with me Still don't know to date if that decision was the best one We ended up in the abandoned school lot Belonging to Lee Elementary The whole block knew this lot was where they'd get you in the back (Blah blah) The block is hot. Another dropped. Call the cops. Find the shots 500 Degreez of that heat firing in the streets was the block's winter furnace Weed, flipped thotties, dead bodies, cigarillos, crack bags, empty 40s Four four's tinted and loaded and four Fords tinted and loaded with ten tinted Busters waiting to bust at a busta or to simply break another brother We knew we weren't to go over But the time was just past Foldger's What's the worst that could happen? It's too early for racket But if you from my side, then you know the law Funny, though cause the law ain't never been on our side Ain't never been on our side But if you from my side, then you know the law Funny, though cause the law ain't never been on our side Ain't never been on our side But if you from my side, then you know the law Funny, though Under the shaded tree, ball next to the blood on the leaves Feet away, a sir rocked next to a quarter of Ciroc Couldn't hold his liquor My bro picked the rock up We hauled back and from our backs we heard "Aye, nigga. That's my ball. Give it up" We turned around slowly And saw the slug Rode up on a bicycle knowing he would hit us A kid, probably ten, held a piece to solve his peace "Ay, man. You deaf? Drop the ball for it be two of y'all dropped" My soul was drowning Heart pounding Only a few words sounding He dropped it Stepped back Boy turned it Cocked back Hand on the trigger Finger on a memory I saw when he pulled it And then I lost grip My eyes closed quick I remember thinking
