lyrics

Almost every party I rocked - yeah
Chances are I coulda got shot - yeah
Suicides & murders all around me
Childhood friends gone with the wind
Do or die - the mantra
Yeah
Do or die - the mantra
Some friends sold that white girl or that Ganja
For me it was selling life music to get cha on to
Either way i would say it was
Do or die - the mantra
Do or die - the mantra
Some friends sold that white girl or that Ganja
For me it was selling life music to get cha on to
Either way i would say it was
Do or die - the mantra

Most every dude that I was involved with, ran the malls with, kicked it with at the parties and talked ish and
Was hawkish with
Was dudes from Sherman park to 3rd street
Especially around 24th and capitol, near Rufus King
I was literally
the only cat from Wauwatosa
Never rapped with them heavier cats the Black La Cosa nostra
Going to Detroit did rap shows with ghetto promoters
Picture kids 11 years old
Selling dope... All shooters - no posers
It was quite literally right under our noses
An epidemic with no limits
Quick cash turned cliques bad
All of it quick fast
Flirting with darkness
Brought a Serious Whiplash
And by then, hoods were getting bad
Had - pregnant mothers down on their knees, doing things That might require some knee pads
Sons buying some ski masks
Do or die that was mantra
Families was going under

Almost every party I rocked - yeah
Chances are I coulda got shot - yeah
Suicides & murders all around me
Childhood friends gone with the wind
Do or die - the mantra
Yeah
Do or die - the mantra
Some friends sold that white girl or that Ganja
For me it was selling life music to get cha on to
Either way i would say it was
Do or die - the mantra

Toast! To all my partna's and my family from Magnolia
We some soldiers, We ride or die
Survivors, We the coldest
Cant control us, Dont even try
Quit talking boy come show us
You oppose us, Its suicide
Its best to get to know us
The Panthers, we the champs from Eureka to Stamps
We rock them helmets with lamps
We got 4 wheelers and ramps
We got them woofers and amps
Complete the boom that beat the speaker box
Magnolia got that yola we dont wip around wit weaker rocks
Legalize the ganja, Why dont ya
Fire doper smoker, since a youngster
A fisher and a hunter
High now I philosophy and wonder
How they changed the laws to keep us under
Then sit back and enjoy the plunder
Look into my eyes, and realize Ive been traumatized
Lost my best friend to homicide and one to suicide 
Man, the pain I feel inside when my Daddy and Momma died
Rest in Peace to O and Skeet
Please pray for me and Tweet

Almost every party I rocked - yeah
Chances are I coulda got shot - yeah
Suicides & murders all around me
Childhood friends gone with the wind
Do or die - the mantra
Yeah
Do or die - the mantra
Some friends sold that white girl or that Ganja
For me it was selling life music to get cha on to
Either way i would say it was
Do or die - the mantra
Do or die - the mantra
Some friends sold that white girl or that Ganja
For me it was selling life music to get cha on to
Either way i would say it was
Do or die - the mantra
