Shield & Sword
All Star
I used to hustle street corners back in 1986
Slangin Yayo by the dub, me and E-Bay in the mix
Only sixteen, slangin' rocks on a sub, two 'o' clock in the mornin'
We watchin' under, see the coppers kept their creep on
But we was ready, didn't slip or slide or sleep on
The game was deadly, you could be here today and gone tomorrow
Partner, see you gotta try to survive, the system failed us as a people
Money is the root to evil that we possess inside our hearts and minds
That's why so many of my homies dyin'
Crack flooded communities will reflect the grim harsh look
In the face of what we call reality,
Dead partners and clique pictures and bullet shells on grave sites
Got me thinkin' about my crazed life
What would I be, when I think that it's a shame
Cause my trigger gots no heart homie and ain't no love in this game
Ain't no love in this game....
Perfect rap song for my ears. So many lines in this song that speak to my soul. Hook, by Levitti, conveys the perfect emotions in the verses so fittingly.
I highly recommend exploring Spice 1's discography...
