Mars Davis - West Genesee

We was throwing up Westside
Watching menace to society
Fronting like we from the west side got caught up in the rivalry
Allegience to Pac that was all our pops although we all from the Fly-NT
And we cried when Pac died I felt like I done lost a part of me
Probably nine man i gotta be
Thug life run inside of me
No matter you blood or cuz long as you had love for thugs
Not part of a gang or nor did we bang
But CRIPS in the hood where we raised
South central boyz in the hood original gangstas all on my brain
From our earliest days this is the culture in which we was raised
Little bad snotty nose rowdy young boys running round looking for fame
Couldn't tell us a thang get blue in the face and nothing would change
Trying to build an empire like Lucious Lyon fam we couldn't be tamed
We wanted the fame we wanted the money we wanted to bang
We watching the warriors then got inspired then we started a gang
BH was the name it was me B, Jay, Rice, and Ace
We started the rapping we went to the basement record over tapes
But most of our days we hitting the streets and we couldn't behave
This path that we paved leading to a cage or a early grave
They that I'm crazed when I'm not on my medication
Jay tell me to swing I swing at'em without hesitation
Just to see your body elevated
Then I turn around and celebrate it
We would fight each other like we training
We were very young and very angry
Flexing our bird chest and hitting our pushups all over the floor
Throwing up our set we was repping Folks and GD 7-4
Romeo taught us that we were copycats
In the wrong hood we'd be laying flat Where the daisies at
Tryna to prove ourselves and get a gangsta rap
Coming of age in the city where all of them gangstas was at
We was hanging on the block i heard it from an older cat
He look me dead in my eyes you the killer of the pack
I took that to heart as a fact I was dreaming about a gat
We was running with a couple chains couples knives and a couple bats
I was the froggiest I was the rowdiest I was so ready to scrap
Father God, thank you for waking me up this morning
You are awesome and majestic
You have blessed me greatly
You have delivered me from death's hands
You steered me safe of becoming a statistic
You didn't judge me by my childhood situation, but you ushered Your will into my life
Please forgive me for my sin and not truly appreciating the love You have showed me
I pray that I would seek you every day
I pray that I would have a passion for you and not what you can give
I pray that my desire is to see your face, to see your glory
I pray that I would have a great fear and reverence for you
I pray for freedom from any other fear
I rebuke any fear of man I may have
I pray that I would love hard in everything that I do
I pray that I would love you with all my might and strength
