how we were raised version 1 by lyrical testament (Rizzo,*~big nash~*,and vafinest)
rizzos verse-black
big nash verse-white
vafinest verse-red
How we were raised
squeeze and bust,no hesitation,no explanation,do it for recreation,body preperation
breakem apart shot gun seperation,another bad creation,we gottem in population
surviving is obligation,they lying wit aligations,they ain't appreciatin,they so use to hatin
the law we use to breakin,they jaw used 2 breakin,I did it now get mad reputation
niggas still debating,does he flow like a god or is he hot like satan,give em a 8 like aikman
pain an da dedication,da lies an da fabrication,get knocked,10% of the bail do ya multiplication
go to school 4 crime cerifacation,team organization,we all patiently waiting 2 vacate this location
pplz tru wit da racist,niggaz actin da fakest,so I stick 2 da basics,money ran so I chased it
Its just a moment..I don't know how I was raised
no father,no mother,just a brother that kept me crazed
erased from a topical life..I wish I would've had parents
unlike overheated cars..I couldn't get repairments
I lived the harsh life grew up in a jail cell,a home
I wasn't hot and shit..I rode on everything except chrome
having no father impacted me..let me with something extracted
I needed dicipline..maybe even a belt with my ass..compacted
I wish I could've led a straight life..I wished I could have a decent wife
fucked up my whole world when I busted that goddamn knife
I had parents,but they weren't here for me
by the time I was 13 I was blessed as a blood G
Killed my first crip,when I was 14 yrs old
I had went upstate to detention homes that were cold
my brother was in prison,so was my sister too
They didn't know I live the gang life,they didn't know what to do
cuz I was hustlin coke and crack all night,and smokin on mad trees
It was just a destiny,to get my dough and duck the D's
gangs all over couldn't handle life by myself
thats why I joined the bloods,but there were secrets we couldn't tell
goin straight to hell,by the time I was 17
Adult charges,manslaughter,the courts really got to me
started goin crazy,spending time in the pen
stay in a cold cell for 3yrs,with a bunch of grown men
Now I'm 22,with a 4yr old daughter
I'm gonna raise her th right way,and be a responsible father
cuz if she really found out how her father was rasied
she would probably go crazy and start cryin for days
be right back with my 2 links
