Long Story Short

Ayo

Look both ways before crossin' the street

He had hoop dreams

All he wanted to do was ball in the league

The best player on the court with

Grown men at like 14

Had handles like hot sauce and

His jumpshot was all cream

Grew up poor, mommy was a fiend

Daddy off the scene

Played ball for the team but

Couldn't keep his nose clean

First name Derrick, but they called him Bizzy

Woulda thought he'd be ballin'

For the Bulls

But now he's callin' for a 60

Fucked his knee up tryna D up

Dreams down the drain

Now he addictеd to Oxycontin he take for pain

That shit is ill, he lost his will

I seen it in his еyes

Few months ago he ate a fake pill

I heard he died jermaine sold him this shit

Son it's part of the game he felt no shame

He let his whole life go

Down the fucking drain

Who's to say the outcome would be the

Same if he bought from Shane

He got a daughter, he needs to change

Plus he want a Range

Heartless, his mind on "I'ma

Get it regardless"

The one who last the longest in

The jungle be the smartest

Can't deal forever though

He had dreams of bein' an artist

'till NYPD kicked his door

Now he knocked for murder charges

Damn, he was better off tryna scam

The pressed pills of Fetty Wap

Got Jermaine into jail

They flipped his residence

Found a phone and overwhelming evidence

Karma's a bitch

A kiss a blessing or it's venomous

They both coulda been superstars

Him for ballin', him for bars

Sometimes the hood is undefeated

It's damn hard to beat the odds

Throwin' hooks and uppercuts but

He ain't leavin' bar

The devil knocked him out clean

Forgot about his guard

Life loss, play the game and get horsed

Neverending story was to book

The judge threw Jermaine in court

Long story short, both was tryna ball

Dreams of makin' it to the top but

Rock bottom ain't too far to fall

Bizzy got a mural on the wall

The hood fucked up when the

Chinamen sent that Fentanyl
