[Intro] Ayo, I never claimed to be hard, tough, no homo, gangsta none of the above
Just a kid from 145th and Lennox AveHarlem, USA trying to make his way in the world ya heard?
Ya know through the trial of tribulations that life brings

After that a 5,000 volt chair for me
So I move carefully, niggas dont care for me
