[Chorus] Oooh It's been a long time Since I been back around the way It's been a long time Let it spin let spin let it spin Since I been back around your way It's been a long time Long time long time [Verse] [Black Thought] Struck by the luck of the draw Real life preservation What I'm hustling for My name black thought The definition of raw I was born in South Philly On a cement floor I had nothing at all Had to knuckle and brawl They swore I'd fall Be another brick in the wall Another life Full of love That lost That's silly This Philly Y'all really ain't stoppin The boy with the pen Like Willie On top of the hall Pure soul is what the city Most popular for Hear the tones That will ease you Smooth As Bunny Sigler's soundtrack Keepin your head boppin and all It's something in the water Where I come from They used to sing it on the corner Where I come from Making somethin outta nothing Because everybody fifty cents From a quarter Where I come from Yeah The streets ain't timid But I feel at home in it Gotta see a couple people I ain't got at In a minute Yeah You can take a brother outta South Philly Can't take it outta him really I forever represent it And it's [Chorus] [Peedi Peedi] Live and dirvet I don't need no mic check Remember mommy told me You ain't write that It started in the bathroom taking a dump Listening to Ultramagnetic Ego tripping you won't Pressure my word I'm the urban vision Of you chump Stomped on a different ground Sound second to none Synthesizers tweet To improvise your feet I calculated every lyric to arrive on a beat It's free Come get high on me Before a nine millimeter shell Hit my pelle pelle In the p Yeah It's somethin in the water Where I come from They used to sing it on the corner Where I come from Making somethin outta nothing Because everybody Fifty cents from a quarter Yo Where I come from It's just a natural reaction For crack to make it happen Let the pen ink sink Into the paper of the pad Think back When I was younger Ghetto could have took me under Young Peedi can't mess with North Philly Never had You don't know about me You ain't stroll my streets Look familiar I feel ya Longtime no see [Chorus] [Black Thought] Uhh Clap somethin But whatever you clap Clap to the record spinnin While I'm takin you back To the top paper era Baby big on that Picture the pool room Where the money getters was at And street people With feather in the cap Or their bossolino Pullin paper As if it's a small casino I was a young boy Sweepin the floors And runnin to stores But all those old heads Woudl talk to me About the way To clutch the eagle On a buck and truck And if I'm down How to get back up Just survival kid And it's a struggle worldwide I'm positive Shit the ghetto might as well Be the Gaza Strip You know where all the monsters is Street walkers You don't see no consciousness I'm coming back to where The core of the problem is We on the job again Y'all know what time it is [Chorus]

Monday they predict the storm Tuesday they predict the bang Wednesday they cover the crash And I can see it's all about cash And they got the nerve to hunt down my ass And treat me like a criminal Look, it is what it is because of what it was I did what I did 'cause it does what it does I don't put nothin' above what I am, what I love My family, my blood, my city and my hood Hater for the greater good, I'm back from Hollywood And I ain't changed a lick, though I know I probably should But, what I'm doin' is not a good look I never did it by the good book as a lifetime crook All the petty crime took a toll on me I look around at my homies that's gettin' old on me But still somethin' gotta hold on me, maybe it's faith If it's comin', yo I'm willing to wait I'm not runnin', I done ran through the muck I done scrambled and such I done robbed an odd job and gambled enough Till I'm put up in handcuffs and pissin' in a cup If there's a God I don't know if he listenin' or what? Monday they predict the storm Tuesday they predict the bang Wednesday they cover the crash And I can see it's all about cash And they got the nerve to hunt down my ass And treat me like a criminal Yeah, it is what it is and that's how it go Get treated like a criminal if crime is all you know Get get greeted like a nigga if the nigga is all you show A public enemy to send a eye in the scope My city like a island where you can't find a boat Have you wishin' for a raft and prayin' that hope flows Some will [Incomprehensible] Who lookin' for a chair and some real strong rope Just to end it all here, screamin', "Fuck the mayor" He see the faces at the bottom of the welfare They act like I'm somethin' to fear trapped in urban warfare Pullin' triggers at a college career Can't ignore the call of the wild that's drawin' 'em near Try to make fast money last long, some years Try to laugh it off still couldn't lose the tears To the rules, I will not adhere, break the law, yeah Monday they predict the storm Tuesday they predict the bang Wednesday they cover the crash And I can see it's all about cash And they got the nerve to hunt down my ass And treat me like a criminal Who wanna challenge mine? I'm sick of St. Valentine I did the violent crimes that's why I got this style of rhyme Seek repentance to spittin' them sentences to senseless Experience is the difference, you can't convince this In a crime sense, niggas is infants I'm like a senior citizen, still livin' but gettin' benefits Put emphasis on hittin' my nemesis in high percentages Crooked ass cops is the reason for my belligerence And it gets deeper than that Remember nights I used to sleep wit a gat With a package of crack under my sneaker strap D's sneak attack and raid me, it took a week for that Beat the rat, but you're sayin', "Look, he think he the mack" Fuck ya'll, niggas who thinkin' they might try us Watch us inside riots, blue cars and light fires We already been knocked, scrutinized Plus, cops rush to brutalize us America's polluted by lust, who could I trust? If I can't trust you, then I might touch you If I ain't got love for you then fuck you Monday they predict the storm Tuesday they predict the bang Wednesday they cover the crash And I can see it's all about cash And they got the nerve to hunt down my ass And treat me like a criminal Monday they predict the storm Tuesday they predict the bang Wednesday they cover the crash And I can see it's all about cash And they got the nerve to hunt down my ass And treat me like a criminal
