once a pawn a time

In the streets of Winnipeg, opps lurking, Family turned hoes, man, this life got me hurting. Lost my youngest homie, dreams cut short, Show the youth the path, but they don’t wanna report. See the envy in their eyes think, it’s a game, Had to learn the hard way, now I’m feeling the pain. Used to roll with the crew, thought we’d always be tight, But betrayal from blood, man, that shit cuts like a knife. Hustle in the dark, gotta go through the struggle, Every corner that I turn, got me ready for the misunderstood Keep my circle small, trust is a joke Enemies in my hood, but I’m still making history. Lessons learned from the streets, I’m the voice of the youth, Show ‘em what not to do, gotta speak the truth. From the block to OT, ain't no time to play, Winnipeg’s my home, but I’m in my own line.
