I wanted to change, I wanted to change
I wanted to change, I wanted to change

My world taught me to be like this
To hustle, the cops come after me

I learned to be smart, I learned to pull tricks
In the middle of the hustle, I blow smoke
I grew up in a hood where you can't slack off
Where friends and trust certainly don't exist

I wanted to change, I wanted to change
I wanted to change, I wanted to change

My world taught me to be like this
To hustle, the cops come after me

I jumped the school wall to chase kites
Shoot the breeze, marbles in play
Kill a cat with a stone, tear the neighbor's trash
It's a lot of trouble for just one little boy
It's fun to act up, do what's forbidden
Stone on the roof, bandit games
Wooden rifle, cowboy and bandit
Crazy life from an early age chasing enemies

The most laid-back on the street, kind of the craziest
Cocky style, laid-back face
I hated school, class, or learning center
Give me my slingshot, give me my toy to kill boys
Many times my mom called me a devil
I'm the kind of guy who can't live without trouble
From hearing the name so much, I respond to it
In the night, it's us in the hustle, pure poison

I wanted to change, I wanted to change
I wanted to change, I wanted to change

My world taught me to be like this
To hustle, the cops come after me

I learned to be smart, I learned to pull tricks
In the middle of the hustle, I blow smoke
I grew up in a hood where you can't slack off
Where friends and trust certainly don't exist

I wanted to change, I wanted to change
I wanted to change, I wanted to change

My world taught me to be like this
To hustle, the cops come after me

I spent my childhood in Caje, I acted up a lot
In the lottery escape, the house always falls
Getting used to torture is always hard
Work demands a lot, stealing is my addiction
In my house, there's no plasma or LCD
There's a LAN there full of PCs

My world taught me to be like this
To hustle, the cops come after me

I wanted to change, I wanted to change
I wanted to change, I wanted to change

My world taught me to be like this
To hustle, the cops come after me

I learned to be smart, I learned to pull tricks
In the middle of the hustle, I blow smoke
I grew up in a hood where you can't slack off
Where friends and trust certainly don't exist

I wanted to change, I wanted to change
I wanted to change, I wanted to change

My world taught me to be like this
To hustle, the cops come after me

This world taught me to steal
This world taught me to kill
This world taught me to live
In a way that can't be changed

I wish I could live well
I wish to be someone someday
Unfortunately, what you want, you don't get
Rich black, there's one in a hundred

I only know how to do wrong, I learned to be like this
Whoever goes down this path soon finds the end
Poor without a profession, nothing is listed, it costs a lot
They closed the doors on me, stealing is my profession
I even wanted to have a tuned car, sports style
To get one of those, only being a strong boss
Or getting a channel in a bank agency
Or kidnapping a playboy, son of a millionaire mother

Thinking honestly doesn't work
It never did and never will
If those who govern the country also learned to steal

I steal at gunpoint
They steal with deceit
They call me a big bandit

(They call them doctor) I wanted to change, I wanted to change
I wanted to change, I wanted to change

My world taught me to be like this
To hustle, the cops come after me

I learned to be smart, I learned to pull tricks
In the middle of the hustle, I blow smoke
I grew up in a hood where you can't slack off
Where friends and trust certainly don't exist

I wanted to change, I wanted to change
I wanted to change, I wanted to change

My world taught me to be like this
To hustle, the cops come after me
