[verse][male a vocals] [Smooth male rap vocal, calm conversational delivery, relaxed pocket, effortless flow, warm low-mid tone, slightly melodic] I started banging at age 12 Jumped off the porch and raised hell Young and confused, clutching the steel First lick taught me that this game is real Blood on the concrete, shit don’t heal No slowing down, I was chasing the thrills Seeing too much when you young Turn you cold and your heart go numb Young with a red bandana, trying hard to fit in Looking for acceptance, didn’t know where to begin Thought being Blood meant I finally belonged Put the set on my back with the Hats and we put on No feelings no emotion it’s part of the game If you see him out flexing you take his chain For tryna shine like Mike ima Jack-son If he think he tough I turn to Ty-son Or catch a pick 6 like Josh Norman All you hear is 6 rings like I’m Jordan So get smoked like a Newport Leave your face looking like Too short [chorus] Started banging young Seen too much shit Had to learn real fast Blood or Crip Where I’m from, you picked a side Ain’t no in-between Unless you rapping or had hoop Dreams Started banging young Seen too much shit Had to learn real fast Blood or Crip [Verse][male b vocals] [Deep, gritty male rap vocal with extremely precise diction and hard consonant articulation] Welcome to insane Where you gotta be insane Shits real it’s a struggle just to maintain Blue flag on the left side Maniac Zach is the reason we have blue skies Shit was crazy when I heard that ray died Big crip Don’t get it twisted cause my real brother is blood That’s my kinfolk and we ain’t even blood. Some people tried to say I don’t rep the hood enough Go ask Virginia if they consider me a thug Nigas turn snake over some cash Nigas turn pussy over some ass Nigas come up but that shit won’t last Because we are coming with guns and a Pooh Shiesty mask Time to decide Are you left or are you right Gangs run the city it’s just a way of life OG’s still repping in the system serving life Strapped with a 9 repping the 9 Community Revolution in progress knows I’m down for the fight [chorus] Started banging young Seen too much shit Had to learn real fast Blood or Crip Where I’m from, you picked a side Ain’t no in-between Unless you rapping or had hoop Dreams Started banging young Seen too much shit Had to learn real fast Blood or Crip
