A SIX DIGIT NUMBER

I WAS RAISED WITH THE GANGSTERS, AND RAN WITH THE MACKS.
MY NATURE WAS WOMEN, MY MONEY WAS STACKS.
MY FINGERS WORE DIAMONDS. MY NECK WAS ALL GOLD.
MY HOMIES WERE HUSTLERS, FROM THE DRUGS THAT THEY SOLD.
BEAMERS AND BENZES WERE CARS OF MY CHOICE. MY LIMOS WERE CADDY'S
OR EITHER ROLL ROYCE.
MY DRESS SHOE WAS GATORS, MY SNEAKERS WAS NIKI. MY COLOR WAS
GREEN, BUT I'LL SETTLE FOR WHITE.
MY WEAPON WAS UZI, OR A.K.,
AT NIGHT IT WAS JAZZ AND HARD RAP IN THE DAY. I WAS QUICKER THAN
LIGHT, AND AS FEARLESS AS THUNDER. BUT NOW I AIN'T NOTHING BUT A
SIX-DIGIT-NUMBER.
