Street Life Pitbull Thug

(Intro)  
Yo, I got scars on my knuckles and dreams in a duffle,  
Life gave me lemons, I sold 'em in a hustle.  
Mandy said “swing by,” I said “bet,” no delay—  
But what happened next? Man, lemme just say...

---

Verse 1
Mandy told me to stop by, I pulled up in Crocs,  
Knocked twice, no answer, just a squirrel throwin' rocks.  
Saw a van in the back, lookin' shady and mean,  
Used a pry bar like it’s part of my hygiene routine.  
Next thing I know, red dots on my chest,  
FBI yellin’ “Freeze!” like it’s a dance contest.  
I said “I’m cold already,” they ain’t laugh at the pun,  
Did five years in the pen—now I floss with a shiv for fun.

---

Verse 2
Got out, still mad, still that Mangy old pitbull,  
Named “Chaos,” got a grill and a GED, real cool.  
He bark in Morse code, talkin’ ‘bout stocks and bonds,  
Taught me crypto in the yard with some ramen and tongs.  
Now I’m back on the block, wearin’ ankle bling,  
Got a parole officer who raps—calls himself “King.”  
We do drive-bys in a Prius, eco-friendly thug,  
Still livin’ that street life, pitbull cuddles and hugs.

---

 Verse 3
I got a tattoo of a toaster, says “Bread or Dead,”  
And a mixtape droppin’ soon called Felony & Fred.  
I sell dreams in Ziplocs, hope in a can,  
And I once got arrested for moonwalkin’ in a traffic jam.  
My ex said I’m toxic, I said “Nah, just seasoned,”  
She keyed my car, I thanked her—now it’s art, no reason.  
So if you see me in the alley with a kazoo and a mug,  
Just know you met the legend: Street Life Pitbull Thug.
