[Hook]
So what happened to when i could sleep at night?
with peaceful dreams not full of fights
i remember when the only problem was school,
and whether i d get picked to play ball.
i thought i was low but i had a long way to fall.
so im standing up givin my all.

[Verse 1]
Spittin in the mike is critical mc,
but what happened to the original Oll E?
you know the kid that used to run and play games,
not the man standing here racking his brains.
trying to think of something clever to say,
summin funny to blow this cracka away.
i used to run round playin with toy guns,
but looking down a real one is no where near as fun.
Trying to bring myself to pull the trigger,
just cos someone big started on someone bigger.
I see his girl cryin in da corner,
i should tell her to run, try and warn her.
two shots and now their both gone
jobs ova so whens the next one?
When i get home i try to forget,
pass my time, drinkin away the regret.

[Verse 2]
Some fool been talking bullshit
so now i gotta coldsmoke the bitch
pull up at the front door
bust through with a 12 bore
walk in on him with some fat slut
ramming a dildo up in his white butt
blow off her head, then kick him in the balls
pull out a knife and slice: blood all over the walls
it aint pretty but it had to be done
i m just lookin out for numba one
damn. feels like a bullet in the head
god kill me now cos i might as well be dead
cos i cant feel anything but pain
and i just wanna feel the freedom again
