Raided Unforgiven

Ain't got no love to sinnin

Prosecuted they tryin to give me a quater of a century
Nigga they mention me in the news
Always negative

Y'all be speculatin
One day my bitch was in tears
She heard I got stabbed in the shower
And threw off the third year
But you ain't pumpin no fear
With those discietful conversations
Sayin you comin for me but nigga I'm still waitin
They datin you bustas like I'm some white out
