Saint Louis my city dawg. West side, was the block While you was in the crib playing with legos I was out there trying to get rocks Momma gone, daddy gone, it's just me and my hood, dawg SuWooping (this is a blood gang term), beaned up, like I'm bout to go play baseball Before you heard about Jeezy (young Jeezy), boy. I was already on some trap-or-die Was a goon, 'fore (before) it was cool. You can still see the pain in my eye What you know about sitting in a jail cell, family needs, murder case, Best friend, rolled on me, take the stand, turned state.
I am a felon, I tell no lie, hand on the Bible, and to the sky I want to live, I ain't wanna die when they roll upon me and let them bullets fly
It could have been the end though One way, hell's gates but the Lord stepped in Chose to shows grace. Could have been layed in the box, dawg 6 of my homeboys carry me, but I'm alive and the old me gone 'Cause everyday dawg I bury me

", they're trippin off the new me They like, "Man, where the old Crae you're crazy, you can't fool me." Immaa party so hard that the law tryin' to find me I pray to God they ain't find me. But then I hear a {whoo-whoo} Look up in the rear view and they are right behind me Roll down my window, "Boy, what's your name? 'Cause you was doing 85 in the passing lane with no traffic, man" Then I gave 'em my ID, here's what they say, "This boy here crazy, nah, that's just Crae" And I was psycho, wild as the hun is I do like the Chi, doing whatever I wanted Until I was confronted, heard about Jesus and I changed They're like, "Man what you do? Something 'bout you just ain't the same" I was dead. The old me was nothing but a sucker Sucked the life out of my mother, just to get the stuff I'm rolling Now I'm in good milk carton status and different can't explain it Put the APB out on me, if thry find me, that's amazing.
