| [00:20] |
Yeah, Los Angeles, "Welcome to the Terrordome" |
| [00:23] |
City of Satan, angels can't even get along |
| [00:25] |
No lie, my town covered in darkness |
| [00:28] |
Hoping that the sun just shine on us |
| [00:30] |
Rolling up the kush, now I'm letting my mind wander |
| [00:32] |
Into another place, I ain't tryna go down under |
| [00:34] |
Life is like a race and we all tryna finish it |
| [00:37] |
Shit never fair, strays hitting the innocent |
| [00:40] |
The good die young where I'm from and it's sad to say |
| [00:42] |
That somebody gotta die today |
| [00:45] |
Tomorrow's never promised, but we living for the moment |
| [00:48] |
Nigga, time never stops, it just keeps on going |
| [00:51] |
Crackers just gave my young nigga four life sentences |
| [00:53] |
Twenty-five times four, nigga, do the math |
| [00:57] |
And the hood never have witnesses |
| [00:59] |
Cause if we did, then them shots gon' blast |
| [01:02][02:04][03:05] |
As I reflect, I start realizing I wanna |
| [01:07][02:08][03:09] |
Make a way one day for me and my momma, family and friends |
| [01:12][02:14][03:15] |
This ain't the way my life bout to end |
| [01:14][02:16][03:17] |
So I'm quick to grab on my pen and |
| [01:17][02:19][03:20] |
Give 'em something my people sure to feel |
| [01:19][02:21][03:22] |
Give 'em something that I know is all the way real |
| [01:22] |
Just wakin' up, mind playing tricks on me |
| [01:25] |
Got the fifth on me, gotta take a risk homie |
| [01:27] |
Was a ball player till the coach pissed on me |
| [01:30] |
Keep it real, I could take you down the list homie |
| [01:32] |
Be a tradition, see these Chucks be a mission |
| [01:34] |
Burner be the fuel to the flame, the key to the ignition |
| [01:37] |
If you banging, be serious, boys run up in your pad |
| [01:40] |
Point-blank, period, moms ain't hearing it |
| [01:43] |
Niggas said 'cuz lil nigga got blasted |
| [01:45] |
Oh well, give a shit, shouldn't half-assed it |
| [01:47] |
Only time you with it, when your niggas all tripping |
| [01:50] |
Caught your ass slipping, now I'm stepping up my crip and steady dipping |
| [01:53] |
Riding through the city in lights, living it trife |
| [01:55] |
Wrong intersection, ready to fight |
| [01:58] |
Hopping out with my own agenda, who the contender? |
| [02:01] |
Better hope this motherfucker jam (BLAHH!) |
| [02:24] |
Uh, as I'm hearing the first and second verse |
| [02:26] |
I try to analyse the feeling that's felt in the song |
| [02:29] |
I want to tell Rock and Q to go to church |
| [02:31] |
But that's a hypocrite because I ain't been in so long |
| [02:34] |
I stare at the world from a righteous point of view |
| [02:36] |
And realize a crisis coming |
| [02:38] |
Novocain couldn't numb it, the pain is unbearable times two |
| [02:41] |
Let's rally a team, summon, and school the youth |
| [02:44] |
How you feel about it? |
| [02:45] |
Man, I feel the same way as you |
| [02:46] |
It hurts my soul, like a needle piercing |
| [02:49] |
Through the bottom of my shoe and if you behind bars |
| [02:52] |
Hold your head, pause |
| [02:55] |
And if you in close range with a nigga with a gun in his waist |
| [02:58] |
I pray the intervention is divine |
| [03:00] |
I got a cousin in jail and handful of homies in heaven |
| [03:03] |
But earlier than expected, what the hell? |
