Mick Jagger "the lead singer from The Rolling Stones",wrote this song! He was a huge hip hop head,he wrote "NY State of Mind,Dead Presidents, Notorious Thugs(Lazy Bone's verse) and he wrote Chief Kerf-Faneto!
sometime im sad coz i grew up in the right time but the wrong country, so i wasnt able to listen to this divine sounds as i was young. but now i am listening to this and i remember my carefree times and its like it was yesterday. :) thx for this upload
This is my favorite song rn. It’s so beautiful and real. A lot of people in the hood can relate. Though I truly wonder what happened to this guy. I can’t find anything about him on the internet and I hope he’s okay. May Allah bless him. Ameen 😭🙌🏾❤️
Nothing is better than the original Old school hip hop ritual The street poetry verbals deep instrumentally Peace to the old schoolers for contributing knowledge in the game Ever since they're retirements shit's ain't the same🎤🎤🎤🎤😔😞😤😡
This is real hip hop. Morden mainstream hip hop lost its contacts with the culture, the realness, the roots. I listen to this underground artists who didnt get big money from this, i feel a passion, a devotion to hip hop, a mystic vibe, i dont get from almost any of these artists who got millionaires. This is what hip hops about
Please dont be that type of hip hop head…YES this song is a godsend YES this is better than about 80% of the current music but your limiting yourself if your saying this is raps peak or that this type of vibe is non existent in todays music. Cmon now
@@xkxngx8936 He's right with everything though. If you ask most modern rappers why they got into Rap nowadays, they'll tell you they do it to get rich. It's just not the same. The culture doesnt exist anymore
This is how I look back on my teenage years and somehow a tear rolls down my face and in 2021 we will be present to reminisce about our childhood and the golden 90's. Yo, yo. Peace.
Thats what im talkin about,real hip hop how people today can live without it? Listenin to all this crap goin on radios worldwide everyday,thanx to this great underground rap uploader I can get to know all these great songs,dont stop what u doin
Yo my boy just sent me this ... wow I’m amazed at the love for this record I produced and wrote it along with my brother ... we went through a lot turmoil in the streets and every lyric is true all facts
Yo bro could you send me the full lyrics of the song? i would love to translate it to spanish so more people could understand about real hip hop! Much props for this track tho
Who’s here in 2022? Found a “90s underground hip hop- rare tracks” playlist which included this song. I love this kind of music. Wish it was on iTunes.
i keep thinking of that ODB "who da fuck wanna be a mc, if you cant get paid to be a mc". never heard these dudes before but man...seem like another diamond in the ruff that the rest dont give a damn about. i know people who would rather search for trash than quality just so they can get a lil self esteem pick-me up. fucking disgrace. THESE are the people that deserve our respect, admiration, and attention.
max dietrich you can eat the buds I used to and know other people who do. I have been wanting to quit smoking so much, and cook with it. Eating weed is bad for your stomach I heard though if you're eating the straight buds and picking off of it. To be honest I would rather Eat weed than eat certain types of plants and vegetables.

Lyrics:
Man promoted for the job he did on the streets of the H2O where the pushers sell the drugs that the government allows into their country and then they do time. Get caught with a nigga bag brother man get caught with a nigga bag says the lady on your way to get yo hair fixed. You'll do Big Ben, Big Ben is time.
Yo
This recognition to God
Bodies on inner city streets that fell and hit the curb hard massively.
Elevated to the top but started at the bottom
Maintained position while an even core starvin
Became a victim to a substance that you pushed on block
Now your life is off the hook and you mo hot rocks
You grew up without any guidence at home
Ya moms is always so drunk so you were able to roam
At the age of 13 you entered the drug scene
And then dropped outta high school at the age of 15
At the age of 18 planting your seed in ya earth
Allah blessed you both with a beautiful birth
But this birth had to be fair without a neglect
And without an education you can't get no respect
Searchin for employment nothin but disappointment
So you went for nothin and got your own employment
On the streets you accumalating green for your seed
And inherited material for nessecity needs
Blew the spot had workers at a normal shore block
From north main to south main
The h2o was mad hot
You even shorted brothers for their tatts and their crops
Even words you said prices was high on the stock
But on the L you was puffin up fools and fell into relm later on it would be easy to tell
The truth no doubt it was all going down the hill
Empire you had grew was on its way to the ground
Cause of a night you introduced ya mouth piece to the pipe
And took your life into a relm where it was hard to see light yo
From riches to rags
From dime pieces to crabs from
Puffin lot smokin to coppin crack on the ave
This change of life be a reflection of a physical that fell and the man owed to the depths of hell
Once a playa but now you stand all played out
The latest dope crackhead dealer the rumors be about
God bless I know your days are filled with enough stress
But on your journey never ceases to hold down your backs
I'm writin rhymes for the ghetto dwellers buildin the cellers
Fat concepts as steps for the story tellers
Preparin rhymes narcrotic on the block mad hot
Watch your back black or get back to the plot
What you thought it couldn't happen ya better rise up
Fore the undertaker be sizin ya up
But really it doesn't matter when ya from son
You could be a big dick nigga still get done
See ya round my way
Niggas act mad trife
Playin Russian Roulette with the next mans life
Games a situation similar to Vietnam
Not a day goes by where the night seems calm
I used to lay in my rest with a bag of boodabless
Gettin set, not a times occuppy with stress
Shit is a mess
I used to run games but niggas that change like the weather
Now I sit strange brothers love faka than pleatha
But I still got love for my niggas no doubt no doubt
Even though I can't figure out these actions out
So watch the love son watch the love (bruh) for you and ya crew
Be rest and above
Now my man wanna front big town on the regula
Out in public place talkin on the cellula
You gotta dip let us put ya whip on the jewels flyin in now she took you on a trip
The same elsewhere but you couldn't see clear
Now the next man's pushin up from the rear
He got ya jewels
He got ya dip pushed in ya whip but
You couldn't see nothin
So you got stripped of material things mad cash
You kept the stash and was blottin on the table where
Ya ass will crash or be ass out
A no name heard with no clout
You're a pussy for the loot
Yes we'll see what it's about
Yo
From riches to rags
From dime pieces to crabs from
Puffin lot smokin to coppin crack on the ave
This change of life be a reflection of a physical that fell and the man owed to the depths of hell
Once a playa but now you stand all played out
The latest dope crackhead dealer the rumors be about
God bless I know your days are filled with enough stress
But on your journey never ceases to hold down your backs
