[Havoc]
  Gun wars, money, hustle, the hoes
  Niggaz that don't get along for life, that's how it go
  Momma's victim, take care of there kids, and let 'em roam
  And you can see how he or she gon' be when they get grown
  Your childhood, ideals crushed, youth press due and stuffed that
  Basically, just go fuck ya ass up, you a volcano about to erupt
  Runnin' the corrupt guns shiny, but them basketball trophies covered in dust
  Them babies kids, the innocent that was lost in
  Not them, circumstances, and had that hand forced
  When I was little, yeah I dreamt of the Porshe, and of course
  Ain't get it, admitted, them loose rocks, the only source
  To that shit that rob and lease, preech the riddle was in reach
  God, give me one last word, to kill her
  Yo, you lookin' down in the hood, willin' with that advice
  But it's beat the other nigga, gettin' killed tonight
  
  [Chorus 2X: Havoc]
  Some things'll neva change
  Some things'll neva change
  Some things'll neva change
  Some things'll neva change
  
  [Prodigy]
  Make a nigga say, fuck birthday, and fuck Christmas
  Fuck a wishlist, I'm writing out my shitlist
  It got a lot of names, I got a lot of time
  Blow out brains, see now you out ya fuckin' mind
  You get gauged, for a pound of the wicked nine
  Ya playin' games to the sound of them guns fire
  Cereal and powdered milk, that was then then
  A-1 Sauce sandwiches, we was children
  Growing up broke, snatching chains and coats
  Smokin' weed with coke, sellin' fiends soap
  Drunk sleepin' on the bench, I couldn't make it upstairs
  Woke up and seen the kids on they way to school, shit
  Borrow money for my drug dealing friends
  So I can buy beer, yeah that'll put me on my feet again
  See, this real shit, you probably neva been through
  Ching-ching, now I got bling, but..
  
  [Chorus 2X]
  
  [Havoc]
  Back to back, nigga, just gettin' knocked
  Since swallowin' the pack, guess what, his heart stopped
  It all happens in the hood, it never seems to stop
  And even the good ones, get drugs planted by them dirty copss
  
  [Prodigy]
  Back to back, niggaz be gettin' shot
  You would think that they would learn from they first time being popped
  From the hospital, straight back to the block
  Can't budge my thugs, this is what we love and
  
  [Chorus 2X]
