I was born and raised in the ghetto Talk with me and you'll know I was satisfied with living mindlessly I started looking around for any scam going But listen to my story,
I know the Babylon gangsters Who said they got some friends back West in Bow Said, "Why don't you work for us we'll help bring you west Well you will be a mandem at least" and we'll throw some peanuts your way
We'll bring you west make you proper mandem But you must spout our ******* as we tell you since you have so much time and nothing better to do Just do as told but the joke was on me They had me just making a fool of myself left me flat to see
Staying in the Island ( begging to come West) Yes I know, I'll scam some easy money and make out alright Staying in the Island ( begging to come West) Where I can be proper mandem and can make some bread Stuck in the Island ( begging to come West) Think I'll do alright
Struggling for recognition, identity and easy dollars I got a lot of problems, they told me not to fret Said, "We will stand by you if you do as told and If the going gets rough" you know how to harrass, intimidate, bully lie and stalk
But when I started as their errand boy They just said just continue bluffing you're a scammer and gangmember we will help you get to the West in yer dreams
Stuck in the Island ( begging to come West) Yes I know, I'll scam some easy money and make out alright Stuck in the Island ( begging to come West) Where my music's can make some bread Stuck in the Island ( begging to come West) Think I'll do alright
