Time it makes you old,

experience makes you wise.

And it's only a fool who judges life by

what he sees in other people's eyes.

The decisions that you cast

affect the outcome of your game

and the only person who's gonna think about you

is the one that's standin' in your shoes

Live by the sword , die by the sword,

I'm a weapon of my set.

The only family that I've ever known

Is the gun that's by my side.

Little big man, he's not alone now,

he's all grown up, his story's

written all along these city walls.

Found unity,

he's gained a brotherhood

as they gather to beat you down,

the fists reign hard,

the fightin' never stops.

There's no mercy in this town

And I don't know when

it's gonna' end for me,

this side of town is all I know

it's all I see

If I go on like this

I'm gonna' end it all one day,

it's my destiny

it's my reality,

it's society.

I wear colors proud

but don't stare me down

I've got a million scars

to prove my pain

You think you know who I am

try walking a mile in my shoes.

Quick on the draw

never walk alone

know your enemy

never be afraid,

it's what they always say

Till they come around for you.

Ghetto birds light the evening sky

as the sun begins to fall

Another night he'll spend in this jungle

with his back up against the wall.



Little big man, he's not alone now,

he's all grown up, his story's

written all along these city walls.

Quick on the draw

never walk alone

know your enemy

never be afraid,

it's what they always say

Till they come around for you.
