It’s late in the night and I’m about to get in the mix

Don’t do drugs, don’t need a fix

Getting away from the bricks, the pain, and other disease

Going out to the burbs to catch a breeze

Got to make some money  my family needs to eat

I am not that nice and when I come I come strong

I am the child of the night who don’t play, no fun

Everyone studies my style to see how I do

I study everyone cause I am about to rob you

You think that this is a sport that you watch on TV

You don’t know anything about me

And many of you have never heard of me except on TV

I roll with the flow way down low

I am out in the night looking for that cheese dough

Have to do what I have to do

I can’t live in peace living with you

Around the way is where I flow

A place you won’t live, a place you can’t go

And a place that you will never know

When you see me do you fear the man who I am

When I play ball you’re my biggest fan

It’s after the game is through when the trouble comes

Life in the ghetto there is no fun

You want everything better than you give to me

You think my life is cool on TV

Separate ain’t equal where I come from

Around the way brothers live under rule of gun

No justice no peace is the way we roll

Brothers stuck in the ghetto hole

Think that the burbs is far removed from me

Close your eyes so you can’t see

There is one little thing that you fail to realize

I see everything that you do with uncovered eyes

The thing you don’t know, realize and can’t see

Is that you’re in the same boat as me

    I like that you separate fate from destiny. There is something to be said for trying to account for the idea that we can sometimes fail to fulfill our destiny.
