Uh, uh, uh I took my first break in seventy-five
I tell the story like yesterday when monster alive
Didn't do **** with my brothers without makin' 'em mad
Couldn't get along with nobody so I just ran with my Dad
He took me right there where the killas be
Across the court from Mile ton between Clarion and Wilistry
We shot ball on crates tryna get paid by all means
Started snatchin' purses by Wall Greens

Seen ***ey get hit up in the melt when I was young
Paramedics couldn't even find his tongue
Thats when I started totin' my heat to call a G
My family was deep but wasn't goin' in that water with me
Right after Mr. Martin's cl*** Juve and me
Straight to Barret think I was worried bout the trulency please
Got paid for them old timers puttin' in work
Like Mr. Frank he sold fruit watermelons, and herbs

Even though the times was hard I didn't fear no man but God
You lookin' at New Orleans crime rate
Right up in the place, soulja's beware this is Juve the great
Juve the great, Juve the great, Juve the great
This is Juve the great, Juve the great, Juve the great
Juve the great, this is Juve the great

Mama thought her son was really doin' it tight
When I was the one out here not doin' it right
Until she found my stash she couldn't believe all the weed she found
**** it must've been a half a pound
I was thirteen then back when Yoga was Caddillac in it
My campaign was let a Lil ***** get a crack at it
Far from a gangsta but was learnin' a lot
Ain't just be the one that earnin' the pot

After the turn of the clock I started bankin on the low with the dope
Got slugged up so hoes'll notice me mo'
Tee's, Reeboks, and Girbauds I had a few all the to gays in the fight
Regular hood **** the average *****z go through in life
Wanted to be a lil gorilla like the day killas
Down handiling we ball I know they'll flip ya
I stayed away from them cats who didn't communicate well
'Cause them was them *****z that would've had me in jail

Even though the times was hard I didn't fear no man but God
You lookin at New Orleans crime rate
Right up in the place, soulja's beware this is Juve the great
Juve the great, Juve the great, Juve the great
This is Juve the great, Juve the great, Juve the great
Juve the great, this is Juve the great

At fifteen and I carried a lot of weight on my back
Me and my brother in fact, I kept my money intact
I mad my real power moves soon as Juv' got one
Headed straight to the Irish counter ***** who got guns?
**** my people Bobby and surviva got hit too
And I heard my name was poppin' up in some **** too
Wasn't no cool cans off googlin no more
It was either cry like a ***** or go sell it and score

My first case wanted my respect in the worst way
Couldn't tell me **** when I was hungry and thirsty
Have a ***** way out his religion ya heard me
I guess it's punishment to who and never was worthy
Every since I learned about guns and coke
I made a vow to myself that I would never go broke
Do what I gotta do to eat
I probably can't play no sports but I could work these streets

Even though the times was hard I didn't fear no man but God
You lookin' at New Orleans crime rate
Right up in the place, soulja's beware this is Juve the great
Juve the great, Juve the great, Juve the great
This is Juve the great, Juve the great, Juve the great
Juve the great, this is Juve the great
