i found this

check yourself kid
17 years old be doin a bid in the ACI
that's how i'm spittin it
with the windows open
although the grounds frozen
this how the book open
check it

daps was in '83 right before me
when my folks were gettin it raw
cause our human nature is flawed
and MJ he was comin out hard like M J G
and you know that's hard scrap
hoping next summer gypsy moths dont come back
shaq pack baseball bats and ugly sticks
looking for diamonds they broke bricks

its hard times
even times you're with me - even times you
hard times
even times you good times
hard times

key limes in a mangrove
just outside the hard city
the liberty city gritty gator city
finished with a fatality
(now thats gully)
take em in the back and clap em
clap on, clap off, the clapper
zoning boards put us by the crapper
in homes devoid of copper
no school in fostah- glohstah
i once knew this dude a rasta
grew up with no papa, no granpapa, no-
know what i mean?
they did had food they had pasta
on holidays they had jello biafra and octopus auyama
from la republica dominicana
reppin miguel tejada
shit is proper

its hard times
even times you're with me - even times you
hard times
even times you good times
hard times

comes a time to stop believing the shit
need to chill on that ish
just like that i'm gon dip
and we out
like that
83 in my memory
hard times
