Behind this walls, I'ma find out what's going on 
I'm gonna find, the cure for our peoples down fall 
I'm gone find out, why we filling up penitentiaries 
Faster than they can build them 
I'm gonna to find out, why half of our population 
Is behind bars and penitentiaries and caught in the system 
I'm gone to find out, why all of our people are getting locked up 
I'm gonna find the answers, we're on the inside of this hat 
I promise, we're only gonna get stronger 

Just me and you, lets take the town over 
You my best friend and a down soldier 
At your apartments we can stack dollars 
Families to see how the grass hoppers 
So I trust you, love you like a brother 
I wish you knew she's a hoe and I could fuck her 
But I haven't, I know she hold your heart 
You know the streets but you not so hoe smart 
Fuck it though! Lets make fast fitty maine 
Hits this muthafuckin' streets like some heavy rain 
You got kick do' burglarers and murderers 
If a fiend wants a front take his furniture 
We a team, that's how it should of been 
Whether shooting hoops or selling dope at Will & Glen 
Public housing on Fridays pushing thousands 
Fifty fifty together we was moving mountains 

One day they will come 
And try to take your life away 
For when devils strike 
It's a love thing 
They just love to see when you down maine 
For when devils strike 

I get a call from my boy bout seven thirty 
Eating pizza with my bitch watching Eddie Murphy 
He said his working but something went wrong 
I grab my gat and put my bullet prove vest on 
He said meet him at Palace Inn room six 
Turns out he was smoking crack with two chicks 
He said "Los I took a few hits at two A.M 
After that I haven't stopped until you came in 
Got twelve rocks left out of forty fool 
Take what I got or I'll smoke 'em too 
See the money started coming in real late 
So I tried some, just to be awake 
I thought it be like coke that's why I did it 
But man it's like ten times more addictive" 
That night he turned into a crack head 
A month later, my boy looked half dead 

One day they will come 
And try to take your life away 
For when devils strike 
It's a love thing 
They just love to see when you down maine 
For when devils strike  

Cops caught him with a pipe full of residue 
I was sad but I felt it would help him too 
He got two years now his getting healthier 
His in the pen, and I regret I felt for her 
I took her out to a place called Wizard Lounge 
She had soda, me I was zipping Crown 
We agreed on a friendly date, no touching 
By the end of the night we was both fuckin' 
At my trailer was the first time that we did it 
I know it hurts, so I won't get that specific 
But remember on the first day you got out? 
And we met right in front of your mom's house 
I cried like a pig, I was feeling low 
I couldn't tell you, cause I knew you would kill the hoe 
I was mad at me and I hated her 
A month later, she asked if I came in her 
She got pregnant and didn't know whose it was 
If you high right now, you might lose your buzz 
But in court, she lied and said it never happened 
Now she suing for the money that I get from rappin' 
I lost the case, but how did I expect to win? 
When my jury didn't have one Mexican 
And they knew I didn't do that dumb shit 
Now I gotta show 'em who they fucked with 

One day they will come 
And try to take your life away 
For when devils strike 
It's a love thing 
They just love to see when you down maine 
For when devils strike
