[Break: K-Rino]
Yeah, I know you got to live and learn, you know brother✦
So don't even✦ sweat that, It'll be alright✦ (Let's straighten✦ it out)
Yeah, South Park Coalition (Ohhh, yeahhh)
We gotta✦ stick together, man (Let's straighten✦ it out)
Society✦ ain't down with us, man, so I stay down with society✦
You know what I'm talking✦ about,✦ brother?✦ (Ouh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Blank, you know you a child of the concrete, man
(Let's straighten✦ it out)
So you can handle anything they throw at you (Ohhh, yeahhh)
You got a mind like a hand grenade (Let's straighten✦ it out)
Just let it explode on these laws, brother✦ (Yeah)
[Verse 2: Point Blank]
My son was 8 months when I lost track
And he'll be damn near 4 when I get back
And if do see him then
Will he know I'm his father✦ or think I'm a strange man
Sometimes✦ I say he'll remember me
But if I ask him: "Come here, Bink'!", will he answer✦ me?
I guess this I'll never✦ know
Until I get out in 1994...
[Break: K-Rino]
(Let's straighten✦ it out)
Yeah, times get to the point where a brother✦ don't know what's comin'✦ at him (Ohhh, yeahhh)
See, when Point Blank's kickin'✦ in reality (Let's straighten✦ it out)
S.P.C. can't go wrong (Ouh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yo, Blank, I know you did wrong, brother✦ (Let's straighten✦ it out)
Sometimes✦ you gotta✦ go through the wrong to learn what's right
(Ohhh, yeahhh)
You know what I'm talking✦ about?✦ (Let's straighten✦ it out)
I know you do (Yeah)
[Verse 3: Point Blank]
Now I'm back on the streets and guess what I'm startin'?
Sellin'✦ drugs and store robbin'✦
My son was bigger✦ than a mothafucka
I was 22, he was 4, looked✦ just like my little brotha✦
Deep in my heart, I felt nothin'✦ but pain
Couldn't count worth shit, but I could measure some cocaine
My father✦ said: "Son, ya better✦ sit down...
Or somebody gonna✦ put you in the ground!"
But nah, I ain't listen✦
I make my own decisions, fuck the ass-kissing
I'm not a menace✦ to society✦
God damn it, society's a menace✦ to me!
Point Blank is strong
I did what ever✦ I had to do, 'cause I knew I wouldn't live long
So I called✦ my girlfriend
She said: "Baby,✦ please stop, you just got out of the pen!"
But one day a lotta✦ shit went wrong
Punk mothafuckas done tapped✦ my telephone
Yeah, they tried to rob me
I knew it wasn't a hit, 'cause the shit was sloppy✦
I went along✦ with it
The last thing I saw was the sky, and I'll never✦ forget✦ it
And as I laid on the ground
I said: "God, I let you down"
I guess it's too late to straighten✦ it out
[Break: K-Rino]
Yo, Blank, you move like a shadow,✦ baby✦ (Let's straighten✦ it out)
K-Rino✦ got your back (Ohhh, yeahhh)
Since these streets raised✦ you, you use your brain, you'll be alright✦
(Let's straighten✦ it out)
(Ouh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You ain't got no choice, 'cause niggas out there
So you got people in your life that's down with you (Let's straighten✦ it out)
My boy Dope-E, Egypt-E,✦ K.O. (Ohhh, yeahhh)
Boy, you can't loose with that S.P.C. (Let's straighten✦ it out)
South Park is a war (Yeah)
We was born drafted
But Ice Cream and Milk is always on your side
Just let it ride, brother,✦ let it ride
[Outro: Point Blank, K-Rino]
86, Dope
Yeah, really,✦ dope
Haha,✦ there you go
There you go, haha✦
Learn to let it go (Ouhhhh, yeahhhh)
Ha, say that's how it go
It'll be alright✦
Point Blank (Oh, ah, oh, ah)
Haha✦ (No, no, no, no)
God damn (Aw, man)
(Oh, ah, oh, ah, ohhh)
(No, no, no, no)
(Aw, man)
