| CHORUS |
| Repeat x 2 |
| I’m getting ready for the heartaches to come |
| Stay ready and you won’t have to ready, ready |
| I’m getting ready, I’m I’m getting ready |
| Ooooh |
| Didn’t I do the best I could now didn’t I? |
| I really tried to do my best, best |
| Cause you taken away all my reasons for living |
| Now can I get that back, back |
| Didn’t I do the best I could now didn’t I? |
| Yes I did my very best, best |
| Cuase you taken away all my reasons for living |
| Now can I get that back |
| VERSE ONE |
| Brought up in brick city that ain’t no cloth you can cut. My mamma didn’t raise |
| no suckas in Pam’s house. Come some of the tuffest, Gladys and Colliu |
| Best granny and grand-pappa Allah knows how much I miss and love you. |
| They passed away and then family start separating. Drug addiction afflicted |
| created hella situations. So hard to maintain, me and Stevie playing with |
| matches one morning burned down the house on a day that it rained. |
| And then the heartaches came wasn’t really nobody to point the blame but all |
| the pain, many tear stains left mamma drained. Daily we gang bang through and |
| through the ghetto lil' nigga raising havoc Throwing them thangs like you would |
| imagen it was magic still, we can’t take life for granted, it seems we just |
| don’t get it we letting our young ones get caught in the madness. |
| Madness its sad all I see is apathy its tragic we never snap out of it till |
| one of us in a casket. Dropped out of Allegheny College chasing the fame, |
| state our claim made our name the game would never be the same. |
| Then niggas did change you would of thought Flesh was winning but a date with |
| angel dust from there my troubles would begin |
| REPEAT CHORUS |
| VERSE TWO |
| Big Flesh always been deadly the way I hold it down |
| That undisputed champ cause its my camp that hold the crown. We stomp the |
| ground from Cleveland all the way to Cali on the greyhound on a do or die |
| mission evading bounty hunters. Hustle in the hood then punch the clock at KFC |
| fronted the ends I got to cop double ups of d-o-p-e |
| Did the best I could to get me and me niggas out the hood. Seems my best wasn’t |
| good enough went and put it all on the wood. Out of my mind went crazy Stack |
| punching windows out self inflicted the pain, my niggas broke out man I don’t |
| blame 'em. Woke up in the hospital with T-Ski right by my side told me to strap |
| my seat belt on and took me for a wild ride. In and out the county, |
| Wayside we super max, exhausted my options once those felonies started |
| stacking up. Shermed out man all I had to do was detox before I got off the |
| bottle it was court rooms and lots of cops. I made my bed I had to lay on it |
| with spikes and all spiraling off the wall went on a head long fall. |
| Call it what you want cause I’ll be back kicking up dust I must and yo it over |
| till that skinny nigga bust |
| REPEAT CHORUS |
