I know, it get kinda hard sometimes, |
| [00:05.37] |
We all looking for some kind of, outlet to plug into, but ahh, |
| [00:09.81] |
From the corners of street, |
| [00:11.78] |
In every hood and every ghetto |
| [00:14.09] |
Every hood |
| [00:14.97] |
I' m the proof of what could be, if you try |
| [00:19.03] |
If you wanna try |
| [00:20.22] |
It' s on you |
| [00:20.96] |
All the haters wanna see, |
| [00:21.78] |
Uh uhn |
| [00:22.15] |
A nigga' s life in misery |
| [00:23.34] |
Uh uhn |
| [00:23.97] |
But I' ma keep on doing me, ' til I die |
| [00:29.21] |
Handcuffed by the wrist and tied in the feet |
| [00:31.34] |
So stressed, wish that I could die in my sleep |
| [00:33.90] |
And Lord knows, thru his grace I done tried it wit peace |
| [00:36.16] |
But it' s like niggas ain' t happy ' til they finally deceased |
| [00:38.31] |
Feel the grief, of a street, nigga that turned to rap |
| [00:41.13] |
And just applied everything that he learned from crack |
| [00:43.43] |
I' m in now, it' s life ain' t no turning back |
| [00:45.69] |
It been foul so what kinda concerns is that |
| [00:48.50] |
Peep the signs of the eyes ' cuz it tell it all |
| [00:50.94] |
One of the few in the streets that was selling it raw |
| [00:53.31] |
Made mistakes, but it made me intelligent more |
| [00:54.94] |
And how I move, you could still look and tell I was poor |
| [00:58.08] |
How can the hate from another man stop my flow |
| [01:00.64] |
That' s like another pimp thinking he can knock my hoe |
| [01:03.08] |
I' m here now, just trying to copp and blow |
| [01:05.64] |
Couple of cars and lot' s of doe |
| [01:08.76] |
From the corners of street, in every hood and every ghetto |
| [01:12.96] |
I' m the proof of what could be, if you try |
| [01:17.82] |
If you wanna try |
| [01:18.64] |
All the haters wanna see |
| [01:20.20] |
A niggas life in misery |
| [01:21.26] |
But I' ma keep on doing me, ' til I die |
| [01:27.95] |
One by one, seen ' em rise, seen ' em fall |
| [01:30.26] |
You seen one nigga ball, you done seen ' em all |
| [01:32.46] |
Even standup niggas seen ' em lean and crawl |
| [01:34.95] |
What makes a man wanna fiend for more |
| [01:37.45] |
Life itself is more than a trial or a quest |
| [01:39.83] |
Intelligent wise, it' s like I done ran with the best |
| [01:42.33] |
And very rarely, you can catch me casually dressed |
| [01:44.76] |
I' m more relaxed in a hat and some sweats |
| [01:47.21] |
Doing me, been amongst some of the street' s most strongest men |
| [01:49.21] |
Around for months then they gone again |
| [01:50.95] |
Incarcerated, penalized for the love of they acts |
| [01:53.46] |
Criminals, coldhearted, now what' s fucing wit that? |
| [01:54.83] |
Where we at? hit inside of a life that' s rarely exposed |
| [01:57.64] |
Spoken in codes for the killers that daily' ll dose |
| [01:59.39] |
|
| [02:04.92] |
Get yours, hit a quota then get indoors |
| [02:06.40] |
Get legit then get them stores |
| [02:07.41] |
From the corners of street, in every hood and every ghetto |
| [02:12.10] |
I' m the proof of what could be, if you try |
| [02:18.41] |
If you wanna try |
| [02:19.03] |
All the haters wanna see |
| [02:19.79] |
A niggas life in misery |
| [02:21.28] |
But I' ma keep on doing me, ' til I die |
| [02:24.03] |
|
| [02:27.01] |
So now it' s on y' all, could see, I done figured it out |
| [02:32.58] |
Only a few could say that they been in my house |
| [02:32.95] |
And caroused at my wall color, blend with my couch |
| [02:33.26] |
I' m as low as you can go in the south |
| [02:35.32] |
When it' s too deep, it' s hard for the mind to relate |
| [02:38.64] |
Some say I' m too street and way too involved wit the snakes |
| [02:41.14] |
What make a man bigger that life, I' m twice his age |
| [02:45.26] |
Understand I' m a sinner but I' m nice some ways |
| [02:47.14] |
Kneedeep in what I speak ' cuz I spit the truth |
| [02:48.71] |
I become angelic when I sit in the booth |
| [02:50.89] |
Just a thought of all the ill shit that lurk in streets |
| [02:53.45] |
How can another real nigga wanna work wit police |
| [02:55.83] |
Bad enough you got thiefs and the beef is rough |
| [02:58.76] |
I took an oath just to smoke, eat, sleep and |
| [03:00.83] |
Knowledge of self, I' ma do this regardless of wealth |
| [03:02.95] |
Regardless of how the deck and how the cards get dealth |
| [03:05.45] |
From the corners of street, in every hood and every ghetto |
| [03:10.33] |
I' m the proof of what could be, if you try |
| [03:15.14] |
If you wanna try |
| [03:15.83] |
All the haters wanna see |
| [03:17.64] |
A niggas life in misery |
| [03:19.96] |
But I' ma keep on doing me, ' til I die |
