Verse One (Shyheim):

Nowadays you gots’ ta walk the street and watch your back
Cause brothers with the gats don't be knowin’ how to act
They always pull the Glock when somebody rocks a knot
And if they get shot they often snitch to the cops
Now tell me this ain’t livin foul
She just had a baby child and she’s back to sellin’ cracks vials
On the Ave cause she’s addicted to the fast cash
How long will that last before the cops be up in that ass
But honey-dip dont wanna listen cause she’s in no position
Now nobody gives a pot to piss in
Her life is stuck and filled with bad luck
So she fucks and fucks to earn another buck
She don't really care about pride
And she jumps into another ride then comittin’ suicide

Hook (June Luva):
Hey Yo, this goes on and on Shy
Everybody's doin' their own thing
From hookerin' to drug slang (repeat 2)

Verse Two (Shyheim):
Times is gettin' hard, word is bond I swear God
I even got caught tryin' to steal from the junkyard
A born terror, A rebel without a cause
Ain't nevah had a good Christmas so who is Santa Claus
I walk the streets at night with my head down
In this lil’ town you see clowns that wanna be down
So they get a Glock and lick shots to get props
And when shit rocks you can hear when the shells drop
An old man got shot in the parkin' lot
In front of my buildin' I hang with his grandchildren
And for the nigga that pulled the trigga and tried to slide
And hide, but he got knocked by the homicide
And this happens everyday around my way
So I pray that I can live another day

Hook

Hey Yo, get a load of this guy you know the Mr. Hard-y
He the one who talk about gats but ain't' bustin nobody
He speaks the name game so he can just maintain
I'd blow him out the frame but his mom said he gang bang
But his rep was hi-tech in the projects
Pulled his knuckle-jacks so he got mad respect
The niggas in hoodies packed up their loaded gats
Met up in the back so they could plan the attack
Wasn't hard to tell that these kids was no joke
They let the pistol smoke and at nine was dopin’ and coked
I seen it happen everyday where I live
I know a few brothers, drug dealers, most of them fugitives

Rapper Shyheim Franklin sentenced to up to 14 years in fatal hit-and-run

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Rapper Shyheim Franklin was sentenced Thursday to up to 14 years in prison for causing the fatal New Year's Day hit-and-run wreck in New Brighton that claimed the life of a bakery worker.

Last month, Franklin, 36, pleaded guilty in state Supreme Court, St. George, to second-degree manslaughter stemming from the Jan. 1 death of Felipe Avila Olea.

Prosecutors allege the Wu Tang clan cohort was speeding and blew through a stop sign before slamming into Avila Olea's 1996 Toyota Celica at 5:07 a.m. on Lafayette Avenue.

Franklin had been traveling on Cassidy Place and Avila Olea, 29, was Richmond Terrace-bound on Lafayette, headed to his job at the Rosamaria Bakery on Vreeland Avenue in Port Richmond.

Afterward, Franklin had angered the victim's family when he took to YouTube in a bid to raise cash to fight the charges against him.

The defendant also pleaded guilty to a weapon-possession charge stemming from an April 19, 2013, arrest in which cops found a loaded gun and drugs in his apartment.

Both pleas were to the top counts against Franklin in separate indictments.

Avila Olea's widow, Asuncion Valencia Mendez, told the court her husband was a "hard-working" man" with no vices, who was devoted to his family.

Speaking through a Spanish interpreter, she said she wanted Franklin to "to be conscious of what he's done."

Franklin apologized to the family before Justice Leonard P. Rienzi imposed sentence.

"I'm terribly sorry," he said. "It was truly an accident."

Under his agreement, Franklin was sentenced to four and two-thirds to 14 years on the manslaughter conviction. The maximum is five to 15 years.

Franklin also received a concurrent term of seven years for the gun conviction. He's also subject to five years' post release supervision.

Assistant District Adam Silberlight prosecuted the case.

Leo Duval represented Franklin.
