1996

Yo,if it dont affect us we never paid much attention
We busy,stuck in our ways,still slaves of tradition
Boys to men quick cause we was raised in the system
Worshippin false Gods from a made up religion
Most of my close friends caught felonies in they teens
You either in or out,theres never no inbetween
Never wanted much,just longevity for the team
Could have went to(?) ,funny my speciality was the fiends
Gold on my neck,thats what they expect from us,we kings
Got ya bitch for a pet,she just wanted to please
When she around,we dont talk checks ,numbers and things
Thats family business,we dont address none til she leave
Uhh,when you a hustla,aint nothin ever out of reach
When I count a milli up thats when Ima sleep
Until then I got a seat for who got it cheap
I heard they 21 in Atlanta just like
Dominique Wilkins,ahh
Sometimes friends turn to foes
I can make halves turn to wholes
I pray my ideas turn to goals
These the confessions of a burnin soul
The mirror tell me that Im turnin old
Stress on me,the street shit done turned us cold
Uhh,movin shit, I had to earn a role
These the confessions of A,these the confessions of A
Ahh,you wont(?) the realest when Im not in the room
My mother always told me not to assume( real shit)
And I got this far abidin the rules
A block with a groove,a Glock,pot and spoon
Uhh,I know she worried when I dont call her for weeks
Caught in the streets,I think about her fallin asleep
Her oldest dead,her youngest locked up callin to speak
She taught it to me,so she know,its part of the streets
Fatherless seeds,grow up to be robbers and thieves
Blood thirsty killers with a carnivorous greed
Street chronicles,we honorable thieves
Started off coppin coke,hope we dont end up gettin conjugal Vs
Uhh,real shit,you already know what Im into
Real things thats what real men do
I put a mask on my face if my rent due
Im just happy I dont look like what Ive been through,uhh
Sometimes friends turn to foes
I can make halves turn to wholes
I pray my ideas turn to goals
These the confessions of a burnin soul
The mirror tell me that Im turnin old
Stress on me,the street shit done turned us cold
Uhh ,movin shit,I had to earn a role
These the confessions of A,these the confessions of A
