Artist | Z-Ro |
Album | I'm Still Livin |
[00:06.95] | King of Da Ghetto, what's up 'Face big homie |
[00:13.40] | I greet the Father, on my knees |
[00:14.97] | With a bowed head and a humbled heart, my conversation is have mercy on me please |
[00:18.64] | I just wanna be happy, will it come to bad |
[00:20.96] | Fresh out of my mind been 27 years, and every day I've seen is sad |
[00:25.08] | Even though I've tried till I've cried, I can't even stand |
[00:27.64] | Feels like I've died a thousand times, but just can't make it man |
[00:30.81] | Ain't nothing different about me, doing dirt |
[00:32.76] | Except I've never crept up on a come up, maybe that's why the hustling hurts |
[00:36.38] | I remember just like it was yesterday, I'm 16 |
[00:38.87] | Can't find no love can't find no peace, I wonder what it means |
[00:42.55] | Could it be because, I didn't choose the devil all the time |
[00:44.92] | I became an outcast to the hood, restricted to my rhyme |
[00:47.86] | Why couldn't I just live my life, without my talent making danger |
[00:50.66] | Jealousy is now state jail, from friends that turned to strangers |
[00:54.34] | They hate me, I don't understand why |
[00:55.91] | I swear I never seen a man cry, till it was my own eye |
[00:59.96] | I'm 21, and think I finally got a grip on life |
[01:26.11] | And all bills paid apartment, a step-son and a step-wife |
[01:28.35] | But without a vehicle, it's kinda hard to get around |
[01:31.85] | If I got weed I ride for free, if not my partners let me down |
[01:35.22] | So now I'm loving to be one deep so much, I'm hating people |
[01:37.83] | Lookin at everybody, even babies like they Satan people |
[01:40.45] | Nobody understand me, everybody's tripping with me |
[01:43.63] | Wonder why when I gotta ride, were none of my people flipping with me |
[01:46.88] | Too many haters, trying to take a player off his game |
[01:49.50] | Not trying to be ballerific, I'm just trying to have some thangs |
[01:52.32] | They're just like crabs in a bucket, these people pull me down |
[01:55.44] | If I didn't have so many obstacles, think where I could be now |
[01:58.36] | On MTV or BET, or in some magazine |
[02:00.92] | Instead I'm stressing, hooked on codeine headed to tragedy |
[02:03.67] | Sometimes I think, it's better just to die |
[02:06.36] | Because I never seen a man cry, till it was my own eye |
[02:27.81] | (what's happening now) in the year 2006, ain't nothing chang ed for Ro |
[02:36.56] | 12 albums strong looking for do', but yet I'm still po' |
[02:39.06] | Now I done had and I done lost, and I done had again |
[02:42.18] | On the verge of suicide, I deeply wish I had a friend |
[02:45.16] | But even still a good samaritan, is Z-Ro's way |
[02:47.59] | And with that Christian attitude, I caught a homeboy case |
[02:50.96] | I done took too many blows, a punching bag is how I feel |
[02:53.97] | The deep depression starts to set, sanity's outta here |
[02:56.46] | I start my mission, trying to find my faith |
[02:59.52] | CDC number four in name, I'm feeling oh so helpless in this place |
[03:02.70] | I want revenge, it's heavy on my mind |
[03:05.14] | But Aunt Sandra say don't fight evil with evil, try to relax and do your time |
[03:08.81] | I heard a voice, and felt there wasn't no need in acting up |
[03:11.75] | Realized I wasn't at peace with God, and had to patch it up |
[03:14.75] | Hopin that blessings, fall out of the sky |
[03:16.81] | Z-Ro ain't never seen a man cry, until it was his own eye |
[00:06.95] | King of Da Ghetto, what' s up ' Face big homie |
