[Intro] It's eight o'clock here in Kingston, Jamaica The
Kingston police have issued an APB Out for wanted criminal Rostacious Johnson He has last been seen headed towards The
United States of America or Canada If you have any info please call us right away [Hook: Ro Dolla] I
was a
gangsta, Living my life hustling on the
block, with no food to eat Rolling with them prankstas Setting the
streets on fire with the
heat I
had no choice as a
gangsta, Living my life hustling on the
block, with no food to eat Rolling with them prankstas Setting the
streets on fire with the
heat [Kardinal Offishall] Aiyyo, stepped off the
edge of 'maica at the
age of ten Landed at the
Dot airport, coming out of May pen Raised by his grandmama, until his real mama Could send for the
youth, and reunite, aiight So now he's growing up exposed to the
ghetto limelight No pops (nope) plus his moms got to work nights Moonlighting as a
janitor, to make bread for the
two All the
while he's growing up, running with a
crew It started off trying to make a
little extra creamer But then it turned to pushing rocks, saving for the
Beamer Told his moms he got a
job working in the
trade At a
local grease monkey, that's how he's getting paid And that's how he got the
deal on the
black man wagon Moms thought it was suspect, but she's still bragging To her kin about "How he come home and grow right" All the
while he's wilding out, money starts piling now The
next crew saw the
flex and start red eye Jealous of the
way them niggas hustle, Til he get a
little muscle, uh huh, bust a
bunch of shots There my nigga laid, really holding down the
block That nigga gangsta [Hook: Ro Dolla] [Kardinal Offishall] Aiyyo, six weeks in intensive, holding on to prayers On the
seventh, he was back on his back in the
west wing His man done came visiting, in his ear whispering How the
block was hot, and there was 'nuff shots whistling Another week and he was back on his feet Discharged, ready to get back and hit the
street Moms was still working overtime, clueless to the
real About how his son was living in the
hood packing steel Pushing coke no joke them cats wanted retaliation Word got back, about who led the
slaughter One nigga named Blaka, real name Elroy Next day (Boom) +What Happened to That Boy?+ For the
next three months my man stayed on the
low Told his moms he wasn't working cause the
garage was slow But just as he tried to resurface on the
strip Someone on the
turf called 222-TIPS [Hook: Ro Dolla] [Kardinal Offishall] Now my man locked up, and had to sweat inside a
jail Cause his man done fled the
scene, and moms couldn't afford bail The
trial came and went, his mother cried "Discrimination!" Said the
judge didn't know her son He said he knew him too well, he'd seen him there before Turned the
cheek crying, now he feels he's on fire Got burned by the
same liquour, quit talking fresh He doesn't know how to act, so now he got to go back My man got dipped, sent right back to May pen Grandma didn't want him, now family wouldn't take him He thought about work, but he said "F that!" He got a
fake passport and just came right back [Hook x2: Ro Dolla] [Outro] It is a
sunny day here in Jamaica Unfortunately we have bad news to report Rostacious Johnson was apprehended in Canada And suffered fatal wounds to the
back of the
head Rest in peace my brother Anyways, in tomorrow's news...
