This song got me through such a hard time in life. I was sleeping in a laundry room and struggling with addiction. I would play this song on repeat. Looking back im so grateful for never giving up and for this Track. ✌
I'm on an upward growth coming from the same place. Thank you ,2 years later and sometimes just glad to see someone make it through dark places like me punctuate my personal focus pushing this man to do better.
Now personally, I don't give a fuck who forget about me when I'm dead and gone Cause most of the people who don't care won't even hear this song I been a lot of place's I thought I'd never ever be And I seen a lot of things I thought I'd never ever see My momma told me that these streets gonna be the death of me I've been in situations from murder's to the burglaries I'm a pretty dude, why ugly dudes always be testin me I'm a skinny dude, why big dudes always be testin me I make it happen real fast, unexpectedly My hood shootouts be exactly like the Westerns be I tell a judge and jury I was just defendin' me And intimidation is no relation, only kin to me I usually ride by myself, there's never men with me I'm a grown man, I don't need no men to send for me Cause it ain't no vest on me, don't think you got the best of me That ain't the way I'm supposed to die, that ain't my destiny
Swear!!! I remeber recording in over a live guitar for the first time in Louisville Kentucky. It was almost insulting to the guitarists because he was only playing small notes for the background of the beat. So finally when we're about to mix it down he sincerely asked to play a solo at the outro. WAS SOOOOO worth the extra studio time Lol. 🎸🎧🎛🎶🎶🎶
I remember when I heard this song on the DirecTV radio station back when I was in 4th Grade in 2006. That was when I first fell in love with Hip Hop !!!
Songs like this pulled me up out of my years struggle with both PTSD and some self medicating alcoholism, and furthermore inspired me to write some of my own similar pieces incorporating into them some of my many traumas and the things I've been through.
This song was the soundtrack to my life at one point. I was tired of a lot of shit at the time. Still a tough tune hadn't heard it in a long time until today. Pretty ugly's verse always touched my soul.

I had to search hard to find this track again. Could not remember names like these. Lol. Yes first time I heard this track on the radio I taped it and now I am amazed it's actually on youtube. I used to think that was Nate Dog in the chorus. Sounds like his vibe! It's hard to find rare classics like this one anymore now that Napster is gone and radio don't play jams like this anymore. I love this track forever.
Man this one here, that guitar 🎸 solo, I close my eyes, and it just goes straight to my soul, I can feel my whole being escaping from this madness , the verses plays the movie 🎥 in my head , I've been bumping this track the past 17 yrs !
2021 still here, going thru hard time at very time but I remembered a relief song and just came here bumping the entirety of the this classic. Divine One keep the benedictions upon for making soul relieving music. Bless the gods HiTek, Bun, Dude and Killa verse Pretty Ugly
