Half my life half my life half my life
Half my life I dealt with authority figures
Them player hating ass niggas
Banged with them gangsters and killaz
Even though it ain't right
I kept on pulling them triggers
Got fronted pounds by drug dealers
Grew up on the north side of vegas
Half my life I dealt with authority figures
Them player hating ass niggas
Banged with them gangsters and killaz
Even though it ain't right
I kept on pulling them triggers
Got fronted pounds by drug dealers
Grew up on the north side of vegas
Half my life
It started when I was 11
Incarceration rehabilitation gang banging for recognition
Set trippin up on a mission
I'm always in a situation that turns into complication
From juvi to county like spring mountain to Elko
Always in trouble witta PO
Half my life as a criminal
Wasn't shit you could say or do
I just was a fool
I did just what I wanted to
Fuck going to school
Smoking on weed drinking on old E disrespecting my enemy
Growing up in LV
Northside with my family
I started banging in 88
Started slanging in 91
If your paccin I won't hesitate to pull out and dump
Even though I know that it's wrong I'm not gonna get shot at for fun
It's kill or be killed with a gun 50 50 split either one
I made it a habit to pacc a pistol which made it official
That I was doomed as a criminal for the popo to hassle
Half my life I dealt with authority figures
Them player hating ass niggas
Banged with them gangsters and killaz
Even though it ain't right
I kept on pulling them triggers
Got fronted pounds by drug dealers
Grew up on the north side of vegas
Half my life I dealt with authority figures
Them player hating ass niggas
Banged with them gangsters and killaz
Even though it ain't right
I kept on pulling them triggers
Got fronted pounds by drug dealers
Grew up on the north side of vegas
I hung with gang bangers drug dealers and killers
Growing up living in vegas behind the lights it's dangerous
On the north side when I puff and get high I wonder why
Half my life trying to survive knowing we die
Cause my mother told me to be a leader
Never a follower
So why you out here trying to become a killer like a predator
It's like a game for you to try to maintain with all the slang
Like when I started banging and my friends went to different gang
I knew them before I started to roll and acting tough
But their family and folks took all control and split us up
But that's how I grew up
Either I was banging or locked up
Half my life livin to survive I had enough
Now it's time for me to get mine and live my life
I did all my crimes and never dropped the dime to keep it right
It's the way that I am
As if murder made me a man
Part of a master plan making you understand that
Half my life I dealt with authority figures
Them player hating ass niggas
Banged with them gangsters and killaz
Even though it ain't right
I kept on pulling them triggers
Got fronted pounds by drug dealers
Grew up on the north side of vegas
Half my life I dealt with authority figures
Them player hating ass niggas
Banged with them gangsters and killaz
Even though it ain't right
I kept on pulling them triggers
Got fronted pounds by drug dealers
Grew up on the north side of vegas
I wrote this song 25 years ago
I'm a Las Vegas vet representative
Northtown incorporated wit
The Eastside the southside and the westside of las vegas
We'll ride worldwide
