[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
