[00:01.38] American born' American raised' American made
[00:21.37][00:10.20] My country shitted on me (My country)
[00:22.95][00:12.73] She wants to get rid of me (Naw' never)
[00:25.78][00:15.46] Cause the things I seen (We know too much)
[00:28.13][00:18.07] Cause the things I seen (We seen too much)
[00:30.94]
[00:31.78] It was packed on the Ryker's bus
[00:33.51] The tight cuffs is holdin' me shackled
[00:36.30] The life of a thug caught in the devil's lap
[00:36.56] On the streets I was invincible
[00:38.28] Cowards would duck at a glimpse if they knew
[00:39.66] What my pistol would do' a fuckin' killa
[00:41.21] Mothers of dope fiend embarrassin' me
[00:43.25] All in front of my friends
[00:44.45] In the street smile with no teeth
[00:46.03] I never knew daddy' heard he had a 72 caddy
[00:48.77] Died in a robbery' can't remember him' was probably 3
[00:51.63] Why didn't my folks just die in this society
[00:54.13] Why wasn't I a child of a doctor' who left stocks for me
[00:56.56] Two little brothers' two sisters' them shortiez gots to eat
[00:59.11] Mother's a junkie' she twisted' so all they got is me
[01:01.92] I'm the provider' with goals to do much better than my father
[01:04.81] Whether through drugs sold' or holdin' revolvers
[01:07.11] Blurry visions of dad holdin' me high
[01:09.42] It comes to me slowly' the words he would cry
[01:11.88]
[01:22.25][01:12.24] My country shitted on me (My country)
[01:24.84][01:14.53] She wants to get rid of me (Naw' never)
[01:28.09][01:17.04] Cause the things I seen (We know too much)
[01:30.31][01:19.96] Cause the things I seen (We seen too much)
[01:33.21]
[01:33.47] It is I that step up
[01:34.35] Me that don't give a fuck' you that bold' then it's all over soldier
[01:37.88] Hummers and Range's through the desert
[01:39.67] Fuck a 20 years' long as we got gas and we got water
[01:42.96] Troopers lookin' for manslaughter
[01:45.22] I gotta get back' for what they owe
[01:46.80] Shoot'em in the back for the get back
[01:48.14] Lead through shit bag' hold tie gag
[01:50.69] Forget the life had' now we all rebels
[01:52.91] Everything burnt down includin' the ghetto
[01:55.08] We can see 4 miles the land its major rubble
[01:57.43] And debris from the earth as we knew crumble
[02:00.06] Yo you could see the sea
[02:01.64] And the stars look closer to me
[02:03.49] I'm a mad man' this is a real life movie Mad Max
[02:06.91] S-K's' AK's max' ABR's spittin' and it ain't a rap
