That''Ll Learn Ya

not spittin game to the next trying to spend they whole check for a damn diamond
ring
by me books so i can read my way out this hood
don't waste ya time trying to by me things that you think make me feel good
in the coldest winter ever i learned to be more careful
i had to distinguish the difference between
