The Skinny Songtext
von Slimm Calhoun

If I give you an inch, will you try for the yard?
Yeah, if all my eyes see it
Well, he′s laughin' right now but I know that he cries
It′s ever changin', goes round and round, just like the wind

I was born with the mission, supposed to be impossible
All my life I've heard plenty of shit, lots of bull
Like you just a nigga, you′ll never get a job
So you best resort is either sell dope or rob

Learn how to shoot a nine before I come around
Stay down on the grind, stackin′ every dime
Know a nigga seein' hard time
Tryin′ to skip these lines so everythin' I knew was big time

Before you slip slide through the dirt, great crime
′Til the church bail time, niggaz on the block like
? I gotta get mine and get serious when I'm focused?
Call the curtain, you? re misplaced, lost and searchin′


I got partner servin' life, jackin' for small change
Or ′cause they found the habit or couldn′t maintain
We're all lookin′ for better things
It? s amazin' the evil that cheddar bring
And I heard it in my dream, as she sings

If I give you an inch, will you try for the yard?
Yeah, if all my eyes see it
Well, he′s laughin' right now but I know that he cries
It′s ever changin', goes round and round, just like the wind

Situation haters, tryin' to super soak me and my cousin
Look like a dirty half a dozen was bustin′ and caught duckin′
Slippin' with mine on safety, God, don′t let 'em take me

He′s bucks shake, too late for Pammy
She had to get goes like an escapee
It was like a dream, but I was awake, see
Thank the Lord for savin' me
Took one for the real trip, too greedy

I tell you y′all niggaz is shady, so packed out
Y'all play yeh, write me with interest
Niggaz that sick and senseless, I'm tired of all these kids
Pullin′ the trigger to show what they did
See the world is so fucked up


Little Joey thought he had to make a kill to be cool
And his best friend dropped out of school
Now where could he be?
Somewhere in the streets slangin′ ki? s

I don't know
But it′s to me you motherfuckers
In the dope hangin' just as many
Tryin′ to rap and I heard her sayin' in my dream

If I give you an inch, will you try for the yard?
Yeah, if all my eyes see it
Well, he′s laughin' right now but I know that he cries
It's ever changin′, goes round and round, just like the wind

Currently events, niggaz is still doin′ the same shit
Drive-bys, out with them 44? s to birth
[Incomprehensible] Puttin? in work
Now who ain't gonna get hurt?

Bystanders, innocents, gettin? caught in the firecrossin′
And lives bein? lost in
The mix of ammo blastin', cars crashin′, gas mashin', guns stashin′
While mothers cry, the fool's laughin', get shit happen

If I give you an inch, will you try for the yard?
Yeah, if all my eyes see it
Well, he′s laughin′ right now but I know that he cries
It's ever changin′, goes round and round, just like the wind

If I give you an inch, will you try for the yard?
Yeah, if all my eyes see it
Well, he's laughin′ right now but I know that he cries
It's ever changin′, goes round and round, just like the wind
