Has to be one of my favorite Jay tracks of all time. The reality, rawness and grittiness is something that I appreciated from it.

I'm from where the beef is inevitable, Summertime's unforgetable
that right there is just one line that describes growin up in the hood
Your WORD was everything, So everything you said you'd do
You did it, Couldn't talk about it if you ain't lived it
NO FRONTIN
At each other's throats for the love of foreign cars
Where cats catch cases, hoping the judge R and R's
But most times find themselves locked up behind bars
ill let cake takeover the rest

�� Oh You Knew I Was In On This One!!!
I'm a block away from hell, not enough shots away from straight shells
An ounce away from a triple beam still using a hand-held weight scale
Your laughing, you know the place well
Where the Liqour Store's and the base well
And Government, %%@% Government, ****** polotic themselves
Where we call the cops the A-Team
cause they hop out of vans and spray things
And life expectancy so low we making out wills at eight-teen
Where how you get rid of guys who step out of line, your rep solidifies
So tell me when I rap you think I give a %%@% who criticize?
If the %!++ is lies, god strike me
And I got a question, are you forgiving guys who live just like me?
We'll never know
One day I pray to you and said if I ever blow, Let 'em know
Mistakes ain't exactly what takes place in the ghetto
Promise fulfilled, but still I feel my job ain't done
My favorite Jay song ever
and government? ##*+ government? N's politic theyselves...
and government? ##*+ government? N's politic theyselves...
.....Had to repeat that last line given the Mike Vick situation this week. This song is one of the realest songs ever made, so many memories from this joint. My favorite line....."#@##! ah so you love, that's how they fool thugs......before ya know it ya lying in a pool of blood"
I from where N's pull your card... And argue all day about who's the best MC.. Biggie, Jay-Z or Nas
one of the realest lines anyone has ever spitOriginally Posted by dreClark
"Where you can't put your vest away, and say you'll wear it tomorrow, cause the day after, we'll be saying 'Damn, I was just wit him yesterday' "
