I´ve been on the ugly corner all my damn life, every day a tragedy
The streets done took over, ain´t nothin´ nice, I can´t even master peace

I´ve been on the ugly corner all my damn life, every day a tragedy
The streets done took over, ain´t nothin´ nice, I can´t even master peace

I can´t even master peace
I can´t even master
I can´t even master peace

They know they was destined, why they mad at a G?
I gave it all I got, this shit ain´t happen for free
Came a long way from the block, look what I happen to be
Kept it real with all my niggas, look what happened to me

They thought I was goin´ crazy, keep the strap on the seat
They thought I was gon´ sign with Baby or Master P
When I got my first .380 I was happy for weeks
I remember gettin´ faded, tryna balance the heat
I remember I kept fuckin´ up the re-up
Made me jump out with the mop, I had to clean up
Leave a stain for some rank ´cause we young niggas
Catch a body ´cause we childish and young niggas

I´ve been on the ugly corner all my damn life, every day a tragedy
The streets done took over, ain´t nothin´ nice, I can´t even master peace

I can´t even master

Niggas on that don shit, I´m tryna run shit (Tryna run shit)
Now, my flow a masterpiece, I´m one of one (One of one)
Project Picasso, I´m from the slums (From the slums)
Blood red, I paint the city with my gun (Paint the city with my gun)
Hood art dealer sellin´ P like a van Gough
Crazy how much work we can cook up in this bando
Block Beethoven, play with keys like pianos
Hop out with these switches, get to tweakin´ like I´m Rambo (Duh-duh)
Say they like the way I put the choir on this trap shit (On this trap)

Ghetto gospel, I got them singin´ in the trap
Say it powerful how I put Jesus in my rap
Send yo´ ass to meet ´em, get to squeezin´ on this strap
There´s roaches and rats, ain´t no peace up in this trenches
Every piece I got come with switches and extensions
I´m tryn´ make a masterpiece, I´m tryn´ go Divinci
But I can´t even master peace I´m stressed for real

I´ve been on the ugly corner all my damn life, every day a tragedy
The streets done took over, ain´t nothin´ nice, I can´t even master peace

I´ve been on the ugly corner all my damn life, every day a tragedy
The streets done took over, ain´t nothin´ nice, I can´t even master peace

I can´t even master peace
I can´t even master
I can´t even master peace
I can´t even master
I can´t even master peace
I can´t even

We was off the porch, we was deep in these streets
Late-night fist fights, rockin´ niggas to sleep
Stuck off in the struggle, we was in too deep

Knew we´d make it out, we just had to believe

I can´t master
I can´t even master peace
I can´t even master
