Its my life, ain't no way I can change at all even if I tried |
|
That why I try, to go and tear the wall down let you all get a peak inside |
|
But once you inside, I guarantee you wont like everything that you'll find |
|
But what you'll find, is the grace of the LORD, cuz His hands all over my life |
|
It's my life |
|
Nice aim, they taught us to aim for nothing |
|
And look, we hit it dead on the button |
|
The story of my life, if you flip through the chapters |
|
Born in the maple leaf now I'm in Atlanta |
|
Lived close to Hollywood, raised in the drama |
|
God blessed my mama so she named me Baraka |
|
Parents did the splits, so I split socially |
|
I love moms but when pops left he took the most of me |
|
I hated the mirror cuz I struggled with my race |
|
Everyday I would wish I was white, I'm such a disgrace |
|
I had identity struggles that was no secret |
|
I was lucky if my closest friends could speak English |
|
So to fight that feeling I made the decision |
|
I can hate my face or hate the opposition |
|
I'm hanging with the militant, reading buffalo Soldiers |
|
My friends in their room hanging Word up posters |
|
This is my attempt to pull back the curtains |
|
This is showing you the life of a young man hurting |
|
2nd Chapter of my life, I see things different |
|
Acting like Malcolm X got my boys tripping |
|
I get silent treatments so I start to listening |
|
The root of the issue I just want some significance |
|
If that means thugging, I'll listen to pac |
|
Smoke a little weed getting drunk on the Block |
|
Doing petty crimes running from the Cops |
|
Knowing pops would kill me if I ever got caught |
|
My man got shot days later he's dead |
|
Its running through my head we all allergic to lead |
|
I'll never ever forget what my oldest brother said |
|
You can be a dreamer but don't live in your bed |
|
So I left that life and I went to college |
|
My God became, money, sex, status and knowledge |
|
And if I didn't get I'd go insane |
|
I guess that's the result of a life with bad aim |
|
They want a third chapter, sit back and listen |
|
Like Matt Damon I was born for this mission |
|
I heard a crazy message about the world's hero |
|
And how it was a righteous kill, Robert Deniro |
|
And how he got punished when he did zero |
|
Just to bring a cure to some sin sick people |
|
Did some research found none equal |
|
Perfection wrapped in flesh to dead evil |
|
I guess my biggest issues I thought I was a Christian |
|
But now I have a passion for Christ Mel Gibson |
|
I asked my man if he knew his way to heaven |
|
He said sure they open doors around seven |
|
And closes at 3 so go get your blessings |
|
I guess it's my fault for assuming his understanding |
|
He knows what he needs he's scared to explore why |
|
Eternity's on his heart Christ hit the bullseye |
