To My Mans Lyrics - Keith Murray

To my man L.O.D. Def Squad 

Hey yo this goes out to my man 

Adrissa "Knockout" Beauwright and Anthony "Apple" Ames 

Word is bond 

I'm talking to my peoples all across the land 

Relate to the situation at hand 

I know everybody done been in some shit 

And ready to lay niggas to rest 

Just prove it but check it 

We done did it seen it done it been through it 

Swigged it guzzled it copped it, smuggled it 

Rocked it, chopped it, locked it 

Now we got the whole neighborhood going through it 

Ay yo, money in the hood makes the game go good 

We only rock black jeans, black Timbs, and black hoods 

Karl Kani wasn't even out, dressing fly 

Rocking jams is what it was all about 

We had dreams of doing shit niggas never heard of 

Then damn my partner got murdered 

[Chorus:Repeat x12] 

(This goes out) To my mans 

Hey yo, close the blinds when you cooking 

My neighbors be looking 

My nerves is shooken so fuck it I'm off to Brooklyn 

To my cousin with the devilish grin, devilish way of livin 

But fuck it, he's still chillin 

Adrissa "Knockout" Beuwright druck forties all night 

While I did the mic something right 

Catching wreck or we was playing ball 

Getting busy in any little hole in the wall y'all 

Street soldiers with good heads on our shoulders 

Wanted to go to school to be doctors and lawyers 

Well I got caught up in the system with two ounces 

Had to do a little time in the big houses 

Before I even knew it I felt it 

Ay yo, yo your cousin Knockout got murdered, right? 

Damn, that was my man 

I'll keep holding on 

I'll keep holding on 

I'm on the cutting edge cause I'm young and I'm black 

Now I feel like I got a monkey on my back 

But you know I'm stronger than that of course 

I puff on El and stay mental just knockin' 'em off 

I'm just a bill on Capitol Hill 

Listen to YM Squad members 

Then we go for the kill 

As I smell the vapors linger 

I saw jealousy bring the anger in the chest with a banger 

I'm on a rage against the machin, what I mean 

I want to see my people 

With more than just first of the month cream 

The situation's always looking grim 

Pregnant teenagers with kids and can't take care of em 

For them niggas who did it, word to life 

I'm a get with ya 

Peace to my peoples, I'll never forget ya 

To my mans (Repeat x2) 

I'll keep holdin on (Repeat x4) 

To my mans
