Time it makes you old, experience
  Makes you wise.
  And it's only a fool who judges life by
  What he sees in other people's eyes.
  The decisions that you cast effect
  The outcome of your game the
  Only person who's gonna think about
  You is the one that's standin' in your shoes
  Live by the sword die by the wword
  I'm a weapon of my set.
  The only family that I've ever known
  Is the gun that's by my side
  Little big man he's not alone
  Now, he's all grown up his stories
  Written all along these city walls.
  Found unity, he's gained a brotherhood
  As they gather to beat you down
  The fists reign hard, the fightin'
  Never stops.
  There's no mercy in this town
  And I don't know when it's gonna' end for me
  This side of town is all I know
  It's all I see
  If I go on like this I'm gonna'
  End it all one day
  It's my destiny it's my reality
  It's society.
  I wear colors proud but stare
  Me down
  I've got a million scars to prove
  My pain
  You think you know who I am
  Try walking a mile in my shoes.
  Quick on the draw
  Never walk alone
  Know your enemy
  Never be afraid, it's what they always say
  Till they come around for you.
  Ghetto birds light the evening
  Sky as the sun begins to fall
  Another night he'll spend in this
  Jungle with his back up against the wall
