see i knew i would have been caught out by that, shame on me, i was too lazy to edit it out,
but you have to admitt the song very much did belong to Scarface, every verses Face lays he Owns the track, he has the best emotions next to Pac on a record.
he did his solo version on the Diary album,... its the only version i got on CD which i play more then original.. but am glad there is love for the Ghetto Boys..
