Straighten It Out

(Have you been to the ghetto lately?) Hell yeah, I've been in this mothafucka since day one and I ain't trying To get out... Straighten it out... [K-Rino] Yo Blank man, you know I understand where you coming from... You don't have to explain all that to me, dog... All I can tell you to do is watch out for them laws and keep your nuts up... K-Rino know you ain't no punk, man... See, a lot of people gonna try to get you slipping... So you gotta watch your back, homeboy... You know I'm right behind you so don't even look back... [Point Blank] All I remember is I was playing with a matchbox Took the matches out and fill it up with rocks When I'm up the cut I slum, a lot of niggas got hum But I was one of the lucky ones Anyway I kept doing Not knowing something had come along ruing it Dope fiend set me up I lost my money, my car and my nuts It was hard to forget and when I finally realized I ain't got shit I wanted to skip town and give them a chase I said: 'Fuck it!', got a lawyer and tried to beat the case I walked up in the courtroom And looked around at the place where I soon meet my doom The judge asked what I plea I waited a couple of minutes and said: 'Damn, I'm guilty!' I had to go to the penitentiary Best he can give me was 6 and I knew I had to do 3... Long years behind bars With the rest of American Most Wanted's stars Then I asked myself: 'Why me?' I should've thought about this when I was making that money Shit, now I'm in a jailcell all alone Trying to get used to my new home Thinking about things that I used to do Planning when I get out what I'm not gonna do Hell, 3 years ain't that long It will give me some time to write a whole lot of songs Man, now I'm trying to chill myself up But deep inside my heart's just toe-up Trying to psych myself out But at the couple of months I've been played this shit out I used to be a crazy ass dope man Rolling with Scarface, Terrorists and the Peter Man I should've listened to the godfather He said: 'Blank, you better chill or your ass gonna suffer!' And that's exactly what I'm doing Damn, my life is ruing Selling that shit... [K-Rino] Yeah, I know you gotta live and learn... No brothas won't even sweat that...It will be alright... Yeah, South Park Coalition gotta stick together, man... Society ain't going with us so I say down the society... You know what I'm talking about, brothas? Blank, you know you're a child of a concrete so you can handle anything That comes at you... Got a mind like a handgranade detinated to explode to them laws Brotha... [Point Blank] My son was 8 months when I lost track And he'll be damn near 4 when I get back And if do see him then Will he know I his father or think I'm a strange man Sometimes I say he'll remember me But if I ask: 'Come here, bean!', will he answer me? I guess this I never know Until I get out in 1994... [K-Rino] Yeah, times get to the point where a brotha don't know what's coming at him... See, Point Blank's kicking reality... S.P.C. can't go wrong... Yo, Blank, I know you did wrong, brotha... Sometimes you gotta go wrong to learn what's right... You know what I'm talking about? I know you do... [Point Blank] Now I'm back in the streets and guess what I'm starting? Selling drugs and store robbing My son was bigger than a mothafucka I was 22, he was 4, looked just like my little brotha Deep in my heart I felt nothing but pain Couldn't count worth shit but I can measure some cocaine My father said: 'Son, ya better sit down... Or somebody gonna put you in the ground!' But no, I ain't listening I make my own decisions, fuck the ass-kissing I'm not a menace to society God damn it, society is a menace to me Point Blank is strong I did what ever I had to do cause I knew I wouldn't live long So I called my girlfriend She said: 'Baby, please stop, you just got out of the pen!' But one day a lot shit went wrong Punk mothafuckas done tap my telephone Yeah, they tired to rob me I knew it wasn't a hit cause the shit was slobby I went along with it The last thing I saw was the sky and I never forget it And as I layed on the ground I said: 'God, I let you down!' I guess it's too late to straighten it out... [K-Rino] Yo, Blank, we moving like a shadow, baby...K-Rino gots your back... As these streets raise you, use your brain...It will be alright... There ain't no choice for niggas out there... So you got people making your life go with you... My boy Dope-E, Egypt-E, K.O...You can't loose with that S.P.C...
