Only vision I had of sex was Color Me Badd |
| [00:25.91] |
And I never knew the world could be this cold |
| [00:27.95] |
Only time a nigga die, he was playing a role |
| [00:30.48] |
But now niggas get their souls stole' so often |
| [00:32.99] |
They only thing they offer dreamers is a wake and a coffin |
| [00:35.78] |
From NY, to Compton, down to Austin |

Too many forces thinking they could make a fortune scorin' |

Too many wanna-be actors instead of achieving their masters |
| [00:48.58] |
At least a bachelors but no, too many wanna-be rappers |
| [00:51.22] |
That's just statistics, don't mistake me for hypocrites |
| [00:53.44] |
Like niggas in the White House supplying Wite-Out |
| [00:55.69] |
On Jim Crow Laws, you probably missed it |
| [00:58.07] |
Hard to be persistent when you're tryin' to fight for your existence |
| [01:00.96] |

|
| [01:01.57] |
It ain't easy livin' life like this |

When you tryin' to be righteous but know a nigga might just |
| [01:06.19] |
Leave you lifeless for prices, or high tech devices |

So keep that TEC-9 or meet your crisis |

And don't you show a slight tear or let 'em sight fear |
| [01:38.69] |
Just let 'em disappear the night air, yea with your Nike Airs |
| [01:41.51] |
Ride by the crackheads, left alone in the apartment |
| [01:43.78] |
Mothers be jobless, so they make dollars shaking it topless, and |
| [01:46.68] |
Daddy been gone said he, took off like ostrich |
| [01:49.08] |
Since he gain knowledge,I'm keeping it with the synopsis, and |
| [01:51.64] |
Shit like that make you wish you were adopted |
| [01:54.18] |
To escape the pain, you join a gang and get intoxicated |
| [01:56.74] |
Have no shame, nothing wrong with some Mary Jane |
| [02:00.08] |
The only thing is you do it again, and again, and again, and again |
| [02:02.61] |
And again, and again, and again... |
| [02:05.20] |
|
| [02:07.29] |

| [02:44.41] |
Po' never, blow Berettas 'Cause I know no better |
| [02:47.18] |
No Era, no STEEZ, no Kirk, no Lee |
| [02:49.66] |
No school, no OG, no talent, no me |
| [02:52.51] |
What if I just ain't act right? |
| [02:54.05] |
What if I pack crack white with my sack tight, join the gat fight? |
| [02:57.26] |
The click-clack type, slide in the vipe with the black stripe |
| [03:00.14] |
And give my friends the back knife, 'Cause "That's life, nigga" |
| [03:02.56] |
