Verse 3: Kenny Austin
Seperated on one side, So we can just smoke each other Fuck a brother love for one another I gotta survive, Playin' the street game Splatter some fuckin' brains, And sellin' some cocaine A savage rate, Indeed harsh Hustle to get far, The devil got our minds all brain washed So for Bates, Listen to the crackers and turf snakes And all there are is coffee and cupcakes He's no longer a street nigga, But a confined nigga Sittin' in a cell doin' time nigga Rich fucks don't realize, Packed and civilized I'd love to see the tears in Trump's eyes When his mother was mugged, Shit was bugged And he thought it would be me speakin' to the judge But he was wrong it was one of his own kind A street nigga ain't hard to find
