I can handle it, I’m almost grown
I’m young and fine and can hold my own
Party, Krunk, DJ Sporty
Live fast, Die young, never forty
Prepare for the future, when I see none there
Sling that thing like I just don’t care
Jailhouse house rock, not my fault
Granny says not worth my salt
No fear, no way, no how, I’m da' Bone
No money, no Dawgs, no shorties, I’m alone
White police don’t like black jits
He say, “Help you?” I say “Shit”
Why me, white boy? Not my Pops
All he saw was yo’ prison locks
See potential? Clean your glass
I don’t need yo’ cracker ass
Burn, burn, with all the hate
Moma told me, y’all too late
“Don’t trust no white man in this town;
They only there to get you down”
How you know ‘bout my crew ain’t tight
And who is you to say I ain’t raised right
Good in school? Sho’ I got game
Tho’ slinging “caine is my claim to fame
Tired now, you cramping my style
Go on now, let me thank a while
I can’t do what the white man say
Go to school and make my way
That was not my Daddy’s game
And Moma tells me, I’m just the same
Don’t I look like my old boy?
Flicking chicks like I enjoy
Baby’s daddy, that’s not me
Will never see the penitentiary
Okay, white man, give it a spin
Let’s see what you can get me in
If I get get it, know what I’ll do?
I’ll come right back and use it too
So my Dawgs can see a flick of light
In the world we live it’s always night
I’d be the first in a long, long line
To make a move, to take the time
To trust the folks, to let it down
To show my Granny, to show this town
I can do it, I got game
Make the move, not stay the same
Live a life that may be strange
For Now
Jamie Jackson
