Json The Birth
[Verse]
Middle of summer, '81, 22nd of June
8 AM I jumped out of my mamma's womb
That ladies addiction was made crazy
Love me but couldn't shake it, that made me a crack baby
Doctor smacked me, I took it just like a G, though
Eyes wide open, was blurry, but I could see, though
Lungs, they was functioning, breathing though I was wheezing
Thank God that I'm simply living a youngin' of ten children, ahhh
Fast forward, heartbeat shaping
Sirens couldn't fire
Box look like they vacant
St. Louis city, death like you could smell it
Product of Reaganomics, a youngin' with no direction
[?]
Mom's trying her best, but
I had been infected with street life, I selected
Then Danna's banana clip, so you can bring on the ambulance
GD who I'm standing with, and this is just how we handle it, I
Went from timid, intimidated and scared
Just sick and vicious, just live it like I ain't dead yet
This how it is when you live where the violence is
The homies runnin' with poppers big as their bodies is
I went from hating the very dope that my mamma did
To actually selling that very dope to my mom and them
It's extreme, but I stay with the Florida
Living like I'm as old as the .40 I'm keepin' on me
Heart dark as denim in me
The venom in the vicinity is the very thing that hooked on my identity so
Don't try to filter me
Give you the realest me and then you'll see the glory of the blood that delivered me
