Verse 1
B
Back in the days,
when I was a young buck
Em
B
Stuck like a truck gettin' shit outta luck
Times was rough and
I didn't have a plan
I was barely on the edge
of my life as a man
It's really fucked up
when there's dope in the crib
Em
No food in the kitchen for the
B
motherfuckin' kids
That's why a young nigga learned how to steal,
see
Shopliftin' laid me a whole lotta meals
Verse 2
B
But I remember days when the
cupboard was bare, and
G
Em
B
Life was unfair, but who the fuck cares?
I still hear mama, what she used to tell me
Em
B
That you don't get shit in this life for free
And even if I never ever make
Em
it to the mountain top
B
Fuck it, I fight for my hip- hop
Verse 3
B
Not everybody can relate to
what I been through
Em
Even though some front,
B
and they try to pretend to
Know about the life of
a kid and the strife
Em
Where he has to live in the
B
shadow of a base- pipe
Verse 4
B
Good goes to bad,
bad goes to worse
Em
And pretty soon he's stealing
B
from his own mama's purse
So clean out ya ears and open up your eyes
Em
I reach out to touch,
B
but somebody moved the sky
My stomach is growlin', word is born
'Cause all I had for dinner
was a can- o- corn
Verse 5
B
A can- o- corn, a can- o- corn
Bm
All I had for dinner was a can- o- corn
B
A can- o- corn, a can- o- corn
Before I went to school, I had a can- o- corn
A can- o- corn, a can- o- corn
I tried to get full off a can- o- corn
E
A can- o- corn, a can- o- corn
B
Em
That's all the fuck that
B
we had in the kitchen
Verse 6
B
A few years later,
I pledge allegiance to the set
Em
B
I'm growin' up, but I ain't grown yet
It's funny how the strain
and a life filled with pain
Em
Can sometimes leave a bitch
B
stained on the brain
Verse 7
B
I'm sittin' in the restaurant,
guardin' my food like an eagle
Em
B
Pickin' up scraps like a seagull
Waitin' on the people at the
Em
next table to leave a tip
B
So I can put it in my pocket
Verse 8
B
Phony Easter Bunny,
Santa Claus and the stork
Em
We was poor as fuck,
B
so we ate a lot of pork
And it ain't no motherfuckin'
way no how
When it comes up,
Em
Bm
I let you bring me down
So I stick to the boots,
B
and I'm down with a mad group
Em
Of gangstas and hoodlums,
Bm
B
but you can call 'em scroops
Verse 9
B
Give me liberty, or give me death 'Cause
Em
a man without pride
B
ain't got shit left, huh
And now that I'm older
with kids of my own
Em
I put me in the pot where it
B
used to be a bone
Getcha self together, word is born
'Cause a man can't live on a can-
