Ain’t Goin’ Out Like That Young MC

[Verse 1]
There's a brother named Vic who's large on the street
To anybody lookin' his life looks sweet
He wears new clothes and drives a brand new Benz
And for a two dollar rock he got a whole lot of friends
Now he'll just tell ya he's doin' his thing
But Vic fell off like a kitty on a swing
Sellin' to your own right by your home
Perpetratin' with a hooker and a cellular phone
Now his girlfriend Trudy's kind of lookin' to the curb
You don't get that baby by just smokin' herb
Her hourglass figures lookin' more like a stick
And all this happened when she first met Vic
A story like this is more common than rare
In any neighborhood you'll find Vic and Trudy there
Livin' life foul when they think they're livin' phat
Well, BUST IT! I ain't goin' out like that

[Chorus]
I ain't goin' out like it. I ain't goin' out like that
I ain't goin' out like it. I ain't goin' out like that. (No I ain't goin' out like that.)
Said I ain't goin' out like it. I ain't goin' out like that
I ain't goin' out like it. I ain't goin' out like that

[Verse 2]
Homeboy Max should be in the twelfth grade
He dropped out and left cause he wanna get paid
Hangin' on the corner. Runnin' in the street
Or maybe sayin' lyrics over hip-hop beats
Now rhymin' is cool and that is a given
For twelve years now I made a nice livin'
But you need brains if you're behind the mic
If you don't have pedals what good it your bike?
Now picture Max sittin' down in a big meetin'
Everybody's talking but Max ain't speakin'
He never understood a single word they said
Because he didn't put the knowledge up inside his head
Max had potential but didn't he blow it
He could sign away his life and he wouldn't even know it
They smile in his face and stab him in the back
Well, BUST IT! I ain't goin' out like that
