Camden New Jersey

Location

Im from a city that you heard about, but you never go to

, babies having babies, growing pains of what i go through,

to survive you become an ape like super saiyen 4 goku,

 or if you not in the streets, you relie on instrumentals and pro tools,

having to throw signs up and ride for a flag, just tying to stay away from the coronor's  black bag,

to keep food on ya table, i grew up up poor, mom on drugs, no television or cable,

city of urban decay, one word statistic, that was supposed to be my label

, but im in it to win it, show my peers that im able

, that i show and prove , no words, life is not a fable,

im from camden new jersey, the murder cap,

where alot of people i grew up with are dead or facing a murder rap

, from just trying to make in this cesspool of a city

, because when your kids cry because they hungry, instincts kick in, time to get busy

, do what must be done, if it's takeing frome the next man, unarmed or with a gun, when confronted, forced to fight because bullets will hit you faster then you can run, where you did good if you survive the night, able to see the sun..
