Lifestyles of the Psycho and Crazy

[Verse 1]

When I was eight years old there was this older kid on my block
He lived with his disabled uncle his grandma and smoked rock
He would use me as an accomplice to go out and do dirt
B&E's and home invasions see dude that was his work
I used to hang at the courts with my homies Art and JD
One day JD comes up and he says to me
We're putting dollars down on this game right here
He was playing that kid that got me into dirt for years
He said, hold this cash while I kick his ass on the blacktop
He's obviously not fit to win and smoking crack rock
So I held the bets and come to find JD was right
So JD took the cash and left then out comes this knife
The smoker put it to my throat and said where did it go
I said JD won it fair and square he already rolled
And I'll tell you ever since that single moment in time
I will never be non-violent or again victimized

Ay Ay Yo! Lifestyles of the psycho and crazy
That's why I act the way I act out on the block that's where they raised me

I say Yo! Lifestyles of the psycho and crazy
That's why I act the way I act out on the block that's where they raised me

I say Yo! Lifestyles of the psycho and crazy
That's why I act the way I act out on the block that's where they raised me

[Verse 2]

And later in life that smoker turned to a snitch when his homie caught a case for fucking killing his bitch
Smashed her face with a brick rolled her up in carpet put her out in the boonies until somebody found it
Started singing when he became an accomplice himself
The fucking coward couldn't keep it real when reality's dealt
But they let his ass off and gave his homie that L
But I guarantee you life right now is giving him hell
