Lyrics from his hit song "True Life"
Intro
Death before dishonor corrupt.
Yea, it's DJ Nuffy, Rebellion Records
I'm from the east side,
middle east side, east side (Jihad, Death Before Dishonor the mix tape)
I'm from the east side, east side, middle east side (I'm about to take you
the middle east side real quick)
I'm from the east side, middle east side, east side (part with me homie)
Yea, I'm from the east side, east side, middle east side (gunshot)
I'm from the east side, middle east side, east side,
Yo, I'm from the east side, east side, middle east side.
Yea, you
feeling me, yea, I'm real homie, what i speak is real,
we the truth over here, Rebellion.
Ay, yo niggas ask the question,
do we do what he say?
We we really drop bombs, but he ain't from Bombay. 3X
Verse 1
Should I talk about my past, will you respect my problems?
I don't care about that, but here we go one time.
Yea, my family got money and my area is good.
Yea, my city is rich but my people are hood.
Yea, my pops is a doctor and my brothers are to
Yea, I've been fighting before I came out of the womb.
Yea, I pay some to villages in third world countries.
Yea, my money go there so they
don't starve in the hungry.
Yea, I've seen my uncle dead right in front of my eyes,
he was killed by a car, and he didn't even drive.
Yea, my dad's brother gave me my first first shake ass six.
Yea, I was the youngest brother, who topped out that itch.
Yea, I used to start fights with niggas twice my age,
and when it got out of hand, my brothers put em in place
Chorus
Yea, I only do what I say thats right,
and if I ain't doing what I say then I lie.
and if I don't what I say, they can't make me dead,
with the other boy gripping their head, true life 2X
Verse 2
Yea, I've been in more fights then your favorite rapper,
Yea, I'd kill more if it wasn't for here after,
Yea, my families were made into them Afghan rappers,
Pakistan is more hood then any American ghetto.
Yea, my uncle was born in Kenya, and they smoke spohilly,
same as my pop when he used to pop the milly,
Yea, my uncle always shot me, but not out of anger,
took the bullets out the gun but left one
in the chamber.
Yea, I run with Asians, Spanish, Blacks, whatever
Everyone I run with got a criminal record.
Yea, everyone of us slain, or moved in bricks,
Yea, I'm cool with the Bloods, but I'm down with the Crips.
Yea,
I don't care about gangs cause Americas soft,
not living for today, I'd rather die for a law.
Mediated by message not governed by law
yea they think its controversial that
my name is Jihad.
Chorus
Yea, I only do what I say thats right,
and if I ain't doing what I say then I lie.
and if I don't what I say, they can't make me dead,
with the other boy gripping their head, true life 2X
Verse 3
Yea, I was born in '81, been rapping since 12.
Yea, I rapped before that, then I bedded my self.
Yea, I destroyed Jin 2002,
he battled me but then quit with a stupid excuse.
That was after 106 that he was at his peak,
I won after having fifteen people to beat.
Yea, I rapped in front of Wildwood Lerinjitus,
killed him but still didn't side to revive us.
Yea, the cops caught us during school smoking bud
Yea, the principal told me he knew I was selling drugs,
Yea, nigga kissed my feet, but that wasn't my wish,
Yea, he had to have it cause he was mad, over a chicken
Yea, every time we go clubbing, trouble awaits,
Yea, I jumped off a rail and kicked the dude
in the face.
Yea, there's more to the story, everyday it continues,
that's something I
don't want you kids to get into.
Chorus
Yea, I only do what I say thats right,
and if I ain't doing what I say then I lie.
and if I don't what I say, they can't make me dead,
with the other boy gripping their head, true life 2X
Ending
Ey, ey,
what you doing out
in the corner man,
I see you busting all night,
yea nigga, I'm out here trying to explain this to our man,
ain't nobody got my back, ain't nobody
trying to help any of us,
what do want then man,
I see you pushing to man, trying to hustle, trying to eat,
Yea, I'm
feeling you man, we
the streets nigga,
yea I make sure that nobody mistake who I am nigga.
