I was always taught my do's and don'ts 

For do's I did, and for don'ts, I said I won't 

I'm from brooklyn, a place where stars are born 

Streets are shot up, apartment buildings are torn 

And ripped up, stripped up, shacked up and backed up 

From fiends, cause the bosses on the scene, they got it cracked up 

Kids are slingin in my lobby 

Little steve and bobby 

Gettin paid but it's a life-threatening hobby 

Yeah, they still play hide and seek 

The fiends seek for the crack, and they hide and let the cops peep 

Grown folks say they should be out on their own 

Before the gangs come and blow up their mom's home 

Because they lifestyle is hectic, so fuckin hectic 

Blaow! blaow! blaow! bullets are ejected 

My lifestyle was so far from well 

Coulda wrote a book with a title "age 12 and goin through hell" 

Then I realized the plan 

I'm trapped in a deadly video game, with just one man 

So I don't only watch my back, I watch my front 

Cause it's the niggaz who front, they be pullin stunts 

Back on the ave of lavonia and bristol with a pistol 

Stickin up pamela and crystal 

You know your town is dangerous when you see the strangest 

Kid come home from doin the bid and nuthin changes 

What is the meaning of crime (what? ) 

Is it criminals robbin innocent motherfuckers everytime? 

Little shorties take walks to the schoolyard 

Tryin to solve the puzzles to why is life so hard 

Then as soon as they reached the playground, blaow! 

Shots ring off and now one of them lay down 

It's so hard to escape the gunfire 

I wish I could rule it out like an umpire 

But it's an everlasting game, and it never cease to exist 

Only the players change, so...

Chorus 3x 

Rza - I gotcha back (8x) 

I gotcha back so you best to watch your front 

Cause it's the niggaz who front, that be pullin stunts 

I gotcha back but you best to watch your front 

It's the niggaz who front, that be pullin stunts 

Outro: (lp version only) 

*old man* 

Your, tech, nique, is, mag-ni-ficent 

When cut across the neck 

A sound like wailing winter winds is heard, they say 

I'd always hoped to cut someone like that someday 

To hear that sound 

But to have it happen to my own neck is... ridiculous 

*man gasps for air*
