2
Nineteen-ninety-eight, damn I can't believe it
3
Whoever thought, throughout the drama, we'd live to see it
4
So many of us done lost lives to the streets
5
As we reminisce I'm pourin liquor for the deceased
6
Thinkin bout the times that I spent with many of em
7
Hopin that the Lord let me see the millenium
8
Trapped in this ghetto main, seekin better days
9
Fightin for my conscience, tryin to shake these wicked ways
10
I know it's wrong but it's hard to change
11
All my life, all I ever knew was hustle and game
12
Lookin for answers ever since I was a adolescent
13
Faced with rejection, early age stressin
14
But now ten years later with doodoo respect
15
I'm bustin million dollar raps and six digit checks
16
Showin love to my peeps and my love don't change
17
Here's a toast to you fakes, huh, here's to better days
18
[Ron Banks]
19
Might sound strange, but I just can't run away
20
I can't run, run, it might sound strange
21
but I just can't run away
22
I can't run, no, run away
23
[WC]
24
Touch a meal ticket, shake a spot for good
25
Never, I still got love for the neighborhood
26
And even though now it's infested with gunplay
27
on most days like Bootsy I can't stay away
28
Cause if I shook like y'all shook on me
29
Then whose gon' stay and guide the way for the lil homies?
30
I can't turn my head on my folks
31
so I stay visible in these streets and try to give hope
32
Born in the ghetto, raised in the ghetto
33
Got love for the ghetto, I can't forget the ghetto
34
How come everytime we get some change in our can
35
we run away and try to move out as far as we can?
36
I know that jealousy's the devil's greed but you worse
37
than a devil when you turn your back on these young G's
38
Now feel every word that I say, hear my cry
39
as I struggle out of thirst and search for better days
40
[Ron Banks]
41
Might sound strange, but I just can't run away
42
I can't run, run, run away!
43
Said I just can't run away
44
I can't run, run, run away
45
No I just can't run away
46
I can't run, run, runnnnnn away!
47
[WC]
48
Another day another dollar, it feels good to look around
49
and see I'm surrounded by real riders
50
Childhood comrades I ran with for years
51
Shared the same beer and tears over the same peers
52
Player haters swearin that all we all G's
53
off each others strength with these, regulates the same cheese
54
No jealousy we all family like Sister Sledge
55
Lace each other with game, so I can spin beer cans
56
Watch our kids grow together, as we get old together
57
Loc I mean this, let no one come in between this
58
Keep our business among us, behind doors and eyes closed
59
on those we consider as foes
60
Outsiders never exposed to your hustle
61
Plus I'm, never been one likely to trust em
62
No negative association, just dedication
63
to watch our paper sprout like this bud mutation
64
[Ron Banks]
65
Might sound strange, but I just can't run away
66
I can't run, run, run away!
67
No I just can't run away
68
I can't run, I can't runnnnnnn away!
69
No I just can't run away
70
I can't run run run run runnnnnn away!
