| [00:05.00] |
Oh lay it down |
| [00:06.53] |
Lay it down |
| [00:08.90] |
Lay it down again |
| [00:11.58] |
Men can live as brothers |
| [00:15.78] |
Candles in the rain.. |
| [00:17.20] |
|
| [00:29.16] |
From the independent hip hop scene |
| [00:30.83] |
Now they talkin' like |
| [00:31.86] |
How I'm not a hip hop fiend |
| [00:33.42] |
Needle in my arm, can't they see I'm O.D.'in |
| [00:36.05] |
You'll never take the strife from this triple O.G. in |
| [00:38.74] |
I blaze trails |
| [00:40.09] |
Created festivals |
| [00:41.41] |
Lost fifty G's on Paid Dues, is that acceptable |
| [00:44.24] |
What? I'm not down for the cause |
| [00:47.13] |
(Hold on, Mike) I'm a need a few bars |
| [00:49.35] |
I could've done the Nas and scream, "Hip Hop Is Dead" |
| [00:51.73] |
I got up off my ass and I did somethin' instead |
| [00:54.21] |
Signed with the devil, brought the scene up a level |
| [00:56.64] |
Killed the beast from within, I'm a born again rebel |
| [00:59.38] |
Tryin' to save the youth |
| [01:00.75] |
From the way of the gun |
| [01:01.77] |
And if I only save one, then my job is done |
| [01:04.30] |
So you can say what you will, but you should judge me none |
| [01:09.15] |
|
| [01:09.81] |
From my God, from my faith, as I move place to place |
| [01:12.21] |
Times I thought, "If I could just die, it'd be great" |
| [01:14.90] |
Drop on the spot, man, I didn't even care |
| [01:17.28] |
I stopped talkin' to you, I stopped sayin' prayers |
| [01:20.02] |
Numb from the liquor and the anti-depressants |
| [01:22.54] |
Pressure from the label, studio stressin' |
| [01:25.28] |
Almost lost my passion to persue this profession |
| [01:29.78] |
|
| [01:30.34] |
From myself, from my soul, when I'm out on the road |
| [01:32.86] |
I give so much shout to these kids, I don't know |
| [01:35.39] |
I thought I lost you, with no one to talk to |
| [01:38.07] |
But you're the one that open up these doors that I walk through |
| [01:41.01] |
I can't fault you, only forgive you |
| [01:43.23] |
I'm the only one that seen the pain that you been through |
| [01:45.91] |
The drama, the struggle that built all your issues |
| [01:49.41] |
|
| [01:51.22] |
The drama, the struggle, that built all these issues |
| [01:53.69] |
Is all just to make sure they never forget you |
