Eye had work, fiends purchased, it was clear
Eye was out their sellin hope fore despair, butt stop their
Eye swear, Eye only make good from my mouth too God's ears

And Eye can't justify genocide
Butt Eye was borne inn the city ware the skinny niggaz dye
Borne inn the city ware the skinny niggaz ride
And as a skinny nigga Eye had beef with hi size
