[Shabazz The Disciple]



Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo



When I Was Young I Mad An Oath And It Was Solemn



To Scrape My Way From Being Broke Without Hitting The Island



Me And My Mans We Juggled Coke We Used To Get From Hollering



And Jealous Brothers On The Block They Tried To Give Us Problems And



I Started You Jaking Jewels On The A Train



Til They Blew Up My Man's Praised In The Change Game



Yea, I Remember That Long Ride Through That Dark Tunnel



All I Could Remember Is Cucci's Head Laying In The Puddle



Keep Hearing Clicks From That Empty Barrel



Feeling My Soul Leave My Body, Am I In The Air, Getting Narrower?

And That's A Damn Shame



Holding The Tech And The Firebomb



In '82's Back-staircase, Bubbling And Quoting Islam



Three In The Morning, Puffing L's And Drinking The VincTop



Scheming And Thinking Of A Way To Catch A Brink's Truck



Then All Those Times We Sent You Booking



And Watching Niggaz Get Their Shit Tooken



Facing Drug Charges For Not Looking



Cooking Them Grams Of Yayo, They Didn't Play, Yo



Then Most Rappers Got Out The Game, Then Hey Yo



Yo, When They Murdered My Main Man, I Was Hurt



I'd Go Into Their Graves And Bust Some Shots At The Dirt



Some Little Thugs With A Vision To Count A Bill



Cuz Made Brothers Got Their Wigs Peeled On Sugar Hill



In '87 Weighing Grams And Splitting The Prophets



Now In '96, I Read The Caron And Study The Proj
