Yo lll news is the streets, a bum with no shoes
Down to his last cigarette, cold numb and Confused
A wife lonely and Afraid, her husband left her astray
No food in the fridge and haven't eaten all day
Lll news is doing time, a brother who stop trying
No money in ya commissary, ya views not applying
Plus ya bid is getting scary, major ticketed carries
Popped a level up, foul, mind, don't give a fuck
Ill news is discharging off a 10-year bid
No phone, no visits yo, can't see ya wiz or your ya kid
15 minutes in the showers locked 24 hours
Plus ya boy shot and shit, you see him losing his power
Ill news a letter from ya girl sayin she gone
A brotha jumpin from the fourth gap, crackin his dome
A lifer like fuck it all, he know he ain't goin home
Butcher a guard in ah minute, Butch livin life sick
Ill news is a bitch, who sucks someone's AIDS dick
You see'em now you don't, her tricks fade real quick
Little nickel bags, that's all the cop spot had
Customers don't like the service, all the fiends get mad
Selling dope to ya Dad, give'em a extra drag
Slipped a tag one before I hopped in a cab
Ayo, money bags is a poor man's dream
A good night sleep, with clean sheets yo, and not in the streets,
Neat clothes, healthy, not weak and froze
With no coat, standin out in the cold, life is bold
Especially though, yo, the old and gray
Praying every night, we gonna get a hold one day
In abandoned buildings, women tricking with johns
You only see they hair color, black, brunette, or blond
For a couple of bucks, it's not worth to get my dick sucked
Take her off the streets, show her earth, fix her right up
It,s like the rebirth, reverse this whole revelation
Peace to each turf, break the curse on this nation
So when you wake up, think about what you facing
No doubt, peace I'm out, but you can catch me on this station
