[00:15.97]God is great and I am grateful
[00:18.25]
[00:19.25]I can never be so hateful
[00:21.06]I got some cute kids and a woman who is faithful
[00:24.18]Food up on my table my bank account is stable
[00:27.12]Royalty check strange music is the label
[00:30.03]Music on point so now your boy is able
[00:33.06]To be boradcast on your satellite and cable
[00:36.04]Radio friendly the phrase used to offend me
[00:39.08]But now I'm getting spins 'cuz I know I had it in me
[00:42.20]Industry on envy my foes wanna friend me
[00:45.09]Money saying spend me the homie saying give me
[00:48.04]And I would still be rapping if I never made a penny
[00:51.01]Believe in what I say and what I say I make it real
[00:53.64]If I could do it all over I would still take the deal
[00:56.77]For that type of opportunity a lot of kids would kill
[00:59.95]But I would never murder I would much rather yield
[01:03.01]
[01:04.36]I don't wanna rule the realm
[01:05.82]I just wanna ride the storm and let god take the helm
[01:08.85]Tell my sons to be better than their old man was
[01:12.05]And pray to get to do the things an old man does
[01:14.98]I don't wanna hide my gray I don't wanna dye my hair
[01:17.93]'Cuz a lot of my homies died before they got there
[01:20.97]I carry on the legacy my only goal to set us free
[01:24.12]And drop another classic after 30 years of prenacy
[01:27.19]Classic is creation all creation is a classic
[01:29.94]Especially when the track is tuned it to the master
[01:32.98]The master being love and love being light
[01:35.70]And everyone's got opinions we all love being right
[01:38.85]Hell we love what we learn making wrong turns in life
[01:41.98]I earn what I earn I ain't concerned with the hype
[01:45.07]Fight with a open heart love with a open mind
[01:48.08]You gotta trust that you know when to start and where to draw the line
[01:51.78]And when it's showtime make peace with it
[01:54.21]Never worry bout the perfect life let the priest live it
[01:57.41]Give it time let it work itself out
[01:59.84]Meditate on the better things never dwell in self-doubt
[02:03.19]
[02:03.86]Sitting here waiting on you
[02:05.64]Because if love brought us up what's hatin' gonna do
[02:08.66]So you should hate a few and try to love many more
[02:12.25]
[02:12.77]And always let karma settle any score
[02:15.35]
[02:42.99]Give me war I give you peace
[02:45.78]We give the most to those who need the least
[02:48.75]You didn't speak up when they held me down
[02:51.34]So you should keep your mouth shut while I hold the crown
[02:54.45]And if you helped me down when I was downtrodden
[02:56.98]You'll always be around you'll never be forgotten
[02:59.99]I put fame last and I made god first
[03:02.97]'Cuz that's how my brother said relationships should work
[03:06.07]Working overtime 'cuz I'm hoping over time
[03:08.77]That my work will respected and the world will know that I'm
[03:11.96]The california kid that went and did the impossible
[03:14.95]The coast crowned me king 'cuz I conquered every obstacle
