Everybody everywhere is scratching for what they can get
Did you think anybody in this town is any different
They don't give a damn who gets killed
Just as long as "the dice keep rollin
The hoes keep hoein and the money keeps flowin
My name is L and I'm from a part of town where clowns
Get beat down and all you hear is gunshot sounds
On 139 and Lennox Ave. there's a big park
And if you're soft don't go through it when it gets dark
Cause at nighttime иiggas try to tax
They're sneakier than alley cats that's why I carry gats
Yo I'm a muthafxxkin fugitive
Buckwild and foul is the lifestyle that I choose to live
Because to me it's all about a buck
I used to have a partner in crime by the name of Chuck
We stormed the city shootin sh!t up like Frank Nitty
Then I murdered his ass and took his half
Because I'm all about ends and skins
When you got dough you don't need no muthafxxkin friends
If I catch you on a late night black you're gettin stuck jack
My moms told me to get a job fxxk that
Aiyo picture me gettin a job
Takin orders from Bob sellin corn on the cob
Yo how the hell I'ma make ends meet
Makin about 120 dollars a week
Man I rather do another hit
I want clean clothes mean hoes and all that other sh!t
Yo I admit I'm a sucker
A low down dirty sneaky double-crossin canivin muthafxxka
Breakin in cribs with a chrome bar
I wasn't 'poor' I was po' I couldn't afford the 'O-R'
I used to wait until it gets dark
And tell a иigga to strip I wanna see some birthmarks
Like a ninja dressed in black with a ski mask
I take all the funds then I run down the street fast
I vicked this иigga named Eugene
Took his brand new ring cause stickin up's a everyday routine
Once I was crusin in a beat-up ride
Saw this иigga named Clyde
And snuck up on him from the blind side
I told him "Give up the dough before you get smoked
Oh you're broke (*shots*) now you're dead broke"
The Big L was cold crazy
I don't care I'll do anything to get a buck
Even rob a Miller truck cause I don't give a fxxk
Some say I'm ruthless some say I'm grim
Once a brother done broke into my house and I robbed him
Plenty and many brains I bust
Cause I was livin the lifestyle of the poor and dangerous
Word all of us from Harlem 139
That's livin the lifestyle of the poor & dangerous
Uknowmsayin this goes out
To my brothers Big Lee and Don Ice
Reggie Reg T.C. Todd Lou Black Tone
E-Jet G Love Doc Ring Slice and Rich Dice
I can't forget the 1-4-0
And I gotta say rest in peace to Mate the Skate Dog
And my man Kerry
Peace
Now what kinda life is that for a child
Now what kinda life is that for a child
Now what kinda life is that for a child
Now what kinda life is that for a fxxkin child
Word to mother fxxk all that stupid sh!t
