[Verse 1]
[Verse 1] [Em]Bloody murder,
crime,
drug[G]s, folks smokin'
Man [C]I remember when it used to be cool
to leave [F]ya screen door open
[Em]And let the mosquitos and
[G]the flies sneak in
Look mama and them play [C]whistle
So I'ma play tackle football [Em]with my friends
I guess them times is gone
cause like a [G]wishbone
I wish I had em' back instead of
[C]watchin' brothers fiz- all
[F]Catch em' out on every [Em]track,
bar, street, boulevards
[G]Sweet avenues with [Em]dead ends,
[C]neighborhoods [F]with antens
[Em]Whatever happened to
the days [G]of Little League
Pop Warner and Boy [C]Scouts,
the Old Singing [F]Boys Club
Voo[Em]doo to go to school not [G]thinkin'
Too busy [C]smokin' weed,
sellin' [F]dope and drinkin'
[Em]I guess we're livin' in the last days
[G]Cause in the last days the
[C]Bible [F]speaksof AIDS
[Em]Plagues, brothers killin' brother[G]s,
earthquakes
Youngsters [C]tryin' to earn
stripes [F]as a work face
[Em]I'll be a su[Bm]cker if I [Em]don't pull y[G]a ho card
I used to [C]be soft [Am]but [C]now

[Hook]
I got [Em]a mirror in my pocket and
I practice lookin' hard
Mirror, mirror make the call
Who's the hardest [F]of them all
I got [Em]a mirror in my pocket
and I practice lookin' hard
Right before I go to bed
I make sure that my [F]mir
ror's there
[Em][Verse 2] Take yo mean

[Verse 3]
[Em]
face off partner
[G]why ya muggin' me
Fools say [C]shit, I can't help [F]that shit's in me
[G]It's automat[Em]ic cause what's
mine [G]ain't even took
[C]It's my mad at the world [F]look
[Em]I said I feel ya man,
some[G]times I catch myself too
Mean muggin' [C]folks that did
no harm to [F]me or my crew
But [Em]now it shouldn't have to be this way
[G]Fools say, I don't car[C]e what nobody say
The other man [Em]got me this way
I'm fresh out the pen and out
the [G]system for years
Been fillin' out all kinds
of applications to make a [C]grip
But I don't know noth
[F]in' about no computer chip
It [Em]takes that to make a J- O- [G]B in the 93
But a J- O- [C]B in 93 consists
of paper [F]rarely[Em]
Jobs like the oil [G]refinery
I'd rather [C]work in Napa at [F]the [Em]winery
And then ya wonder why
I'm [G]stubborn
Forever lookin' hard,
[Am]I been[C] scarr[F]ed

[Verse 3]
Can't tell me shit,
[G]I com[Bm]e from a b[Em]roken up hom[G]e
Every since I [C]was a youth I
thought that I was [F]grown
Meet me [Em]after school nigga
and we can [G]get it on
Ya talked about my [C]mammy now
I'm goin' upside ya [F]dome
I got [Em]a complex problem,
my guard stay [G]up
I'm always on the [C]offense side,
don't test my [F]nuts
I'm [Em]not a Charles nor a Larry
but [G]I'm scary
Scared that [C]I might lose it and chop
you with my [F]piece [Em]berry
I deep into my shit and
it's [G]straight like that
I be quick to clobber a [C]motherfucker
with [F]my Flintstone bat
[G]Nobody [Em]likes me on my father's
[G]side of the family
They [C]can't stand me cause they think
that I'm [F]sellin' that candy
[G]I kid you [Em]not, all [G]bullshit to the side
I got 20,000 niggas [C]in my organization
Now which one of y'all
niggas [F]down to ride
[Em]I gets juiced off the unde[G]rground doja
You know that [Am]Click [C]shit,
