Boost Up The Family

The Jaz

Drugs, political thugs, nickel and dime crimes

Can't see the forest for the trees, people please

The writing's on the wall you know who did this



I see it too but I'm the wrong kinda witness



Homeboys on the rock way up-state



How're you livin he said? "I'm livin g
