I was twelve years old when I sold my first stone
Thirteen when I bought my first gold herrin' bone
MJ knew how to cook it up and I supplied the kitchen
My momma was at work and never really paid attention

*****es comin in and out, ***kin', gettin' blowed
A couple of my *****z like to dirty up they nose
But I was never into that, I really loved the chief hay
Pipes with them white boys, them blunts when I'm around the way

Never seen nothin' other than them streetlights
Late at night, trife *****z be out gettin' hype
Ain't no tellin' what a young ***** might see
Might be, when he grown up in the inner city

Everybody got they own **** they dealin' with
Every muh'***ker livin' should be feelin' this
Money ain't the only thing that bring a ***** joy
But when you ain't got it mayne it be so hard

How many *****z live the **** they spit?
(Live the **** they spit)
How many *****z spit the **** they wish?
(Spit the **** they wish)
They could get, when they blow up and get legit
(Blow up and get legit)
How many *****z live the **** they spit?
(Live the **** they spit)

How many *****z live the **** they spit?
(Live the **** they spit)
How many *****z spit the **** they wish?
(Spit the **** they wish)
They could get, when they blow up and get legit
(Blow up and get legit)
How many *****z live the **** they spit?
(Live the **** they spit)

Tell me ***** if you feel what I'm spittin' to you
Is any of this **** sinkin' in and gettin' to you?
I've been on the road, hustlin' for ten deep
In yo' city on the backstreet gettin' weed

***kin' wit *****z that don't even know how to rap
*****z that go to every fight and **** like that
And don't trip *****, we ain't got no beef
And no beliefs in nothin' that we can't see

Except God, I pray to him and he be right there wit me
He make it all good, even when it ain't pretty
Every ***** got they nose in my bankroll
Rollin' over with these hoes in my night clothes

Late night shows gotta get it how we come
On the bus, on the plane, know we push some
Now you gotta get ***** so I gotta get it
(Gotta get it)
If you ain't got it yet, ***** you betta go and get it

How many *****z live the **** they spit?
(Live the **** they spit)
How many *****z spit the **** they wish?
(Spit the **** they wish)
They could get, when they blow up and get legit
(Blow up and get legit)
How many *****z live the **** they spit?
(Live the **** they spit)

How many *****z live the **** they spit?
(Live the **** they spit)
How many *****z spit the **** they wish?

Rap dope game, Lil' Ki' told me that
It's for real if you look at how a ***** react
Look dope makes cash, CD's make G's
Dope getcha locked up, CD's getcha free

You might think that if ya don't know the game
Them *****z rearranged but the game stay the same
I put it in my head and I locked it
Loaded up my mouthpiece, ****ed it and I popped it

Brr, bulletproof ***** cain't nuttin' stop this
Everybody gettin' hit, when I start to drop this
Watch this big, fat, overweight, Space Age,
Black-*** *****, lookin' fly on the front page

Gotta love it when you see it 'cuz it's all real
I done seen *****z lie still and get killed
Blood spilled over muh'***kin' record deals
Ain't **** changed ***** and it never will

How many *****z live the **** they spit?
(Live the **** they spit)
How many *****z spit the **** they wish?
(Spit the **** they wish)
They could get, when they blow up and get legit
(Blow up and get legit)
How many *****z live the **** they spit?
(Live the **** they spit)

How many *****z live the **** they spit?
(Live the **** they spit)
How many *****z spit the **** they wish?
