Cops on the corner looking for a thrill
Somebody tell them take a little chill pill

Your boy got busted now he's doing time
They caught that sucker in the middle of a crime

Trouble on the corner, jungle in the street
Everyone I know is trying to make the ends meet

I feel like smoking
I feel I'm going to crack
I feel like fighting and breaking somebody's back

(Chorus)
Everybody that I know tastes life's bitter pill
Everywhere I go someone wants a thrill

Boys got rap but girls they got busts
Put them both together and you can feel the lust

The weak got? ... the strong they will survive
That's the law that keeps us all alive

Danger in the day and drama in the night
Who's going to say who's wrong and who's right

Branded a beast when I was just a child
Now I'm just chilling before I go wild

(Chorus)
Everybody that I know tastes life's bitter pill
Everywhere I go someone wants a thrill
Everybody that I know feels the same as me
Everywhere I go we wear our colors proudly

Give it up
Turn me loose
I can't get out
If I wanted to yeah

I've been held back
I've been criticized
All because I want to stay alive yeah

I've got got got got it bad baby
