[00:16.04]My mamma? Bless her heart, cuz she gave me a start
[00:17.78]She got killed, bad man, dad stiffed in a scam
[00:19.80]
[00:19.96]Grew up in the system, bounced, couple homes
[00:21.30]
[00:21.44]This woman Mary, gifted me hand-me-down clothes
[00:23.14]
[00:23.74]Shy at the start, till this guy named Shifty
[00:25.20]Who had 100 pounds on me called me "Brittle Bones Nicky"
[00:27.42]A target aimed straight at my face

[01:11.56]Did alright for myself, petty thefts I pulled
[01:13.16]I dropped outta school, built a circle of bulls
[01:15.34]Needing more money, covered head to toe
[01:17.08]Snuck up, sucker, took his stash, and drove
[01:18.90]The cash stashed, it was pouring in
[01:20.62]Bulk of it up my nose
[01:22.50]How dumb I was, twenty-one
[01:24.44]And way out of control
[01:26.10]The cops kicked down the door
[01:27.84]She did a line right off my (wow!)
[01:29.90]Said "that’s one way to go down"
