[00:02.99]Uhh... yeah... uhh...
[00:09.39]Blessings in life to the children
[00:10.69]They say life is like 5 days
[00:12.71]Words of a old man with silver hair in his wheel chair
[00:15.22]His eyes were bloody while describin' what lies before me
[00:17.73]Said evil bitches and jealous men would try to destroy me
[00:20.17]It occurred to me' this old nigga's words couldn't be realer
[00:23.12]I'm on top now' slightest drama' I'll have ta kill ya
[00:25.74]Cuz animals sence weakness' sharks smell blood in water
[00:28.67]Ishmael' Moses and Job' moved a divine order
[00:31.30]Shit is plastic material' havin' no life
[00:33.62]I crash whips and leave it no matter the price
[00:35.95]As long as I survive' coppin' the five
[00:38.90]Circle the block where the beef's at
[00:40.61]And park in front of my enemy's eyes
[00:41.95]They see that it's war we life stealers
[00:43.58]Hollow tip' lead busters there's no heaven or hell
[00:46.05]Dead is dead' fuckers
[00:47.18]And your soul is with God
[00:48.96]Your mind keeps lurkin' to earth
[00:49.89]Watchin' your own murder reoccur
[00:51.38]
[01:02.01][00:51.77]For ever struggle' every strip' and every ghetto
[01:04.48][00:54.27]For every nigga toned in the pain and heavy metal
[01:06.82][00:56.42]For every child that's born
[01:09.96][00:57.94]And every nigga gone
[01:11.39][00:59.36]And for every brotha breathin'
[01:11.85][01:00.25]Live to see another mornin'
[01:12.33]
[01:12.77]It's Blitz nigga the streets glory many die for me
[01:15.45]Got knocked refused 3 to 9's' went to trial for me
[01:18.01]Basically I'm just reality loaded with vast stories
[01:20.57]Of lust' greed' and contempt no street is exempt
[01:23.20]Extended clip shots hoods barricaded for 6 blocks
[01:25.84]I sip shots' watchin' em hustlers pitch rocks
[01:28.31]All you paintin' pictures of my pain
[01:30.05]Illustrate the city in vain
[01:31.47]Fallin' deep into the pits of the game
[01:33.36]This is for the sickest state of mind
[01:35.28]In these fatal times' vesh crimes
[01:36.82]Nickel play the nine and niggas for the dime
[01:38.81]Hear the sounds of them baby's cry
[01:40.39]Still I'm sayin' why do we reside
[01:42.04]In the ghetto with a million ways to die
[01:43.99]Stayin' high to relieve the pain
[01:45.94]Breathin' in the game' exhalin'
[01:47.56]Guilts and the shame' misery and strain
[01:49.27]What the fuck will tomorrow bring
[01:50.83]Look at anthrax' I stand back through
[01:52.83]Hopin' I make it tomorrow
[01:53.79]
[01:53.98]My skin is a art gallery' right
[01:55.64]With paintings of crucifixes
[01:56.92]Hopin' to save me from all the dangers in the music business
[01:59.71]Was once a young gangsta hangin' with youth offenders
[02:02.29]But since I tasted paper it started losin the friendships
[02:04.86]Watchin' kids freeze in winters' they still poor
[02:07.51]How could I tease them with Benz's and feel no remorse
[02:10.06]Drivin' past them in the lively fashion' diamond colors clashin'
[02:13.03]Red stones' blue stones' red bones and black ones
[02:15.67]Fuck did I expect with bucket seats in a Lex
[02:18.35]And spendin' time in Chuckie Cheese with Little Des
[02:20.98]Got guns when I'm with my daughter
[02:22.16]Hate to bring a violent aura in her presence
[02:23.85]She knows what daddy taught her' it's lessons
[02:25.81]Black princess it's a ugly world
[02:27.37]I put my life up for yours' see I love that girl
[02:30.08]Could you believe even my shadow's jealous
[02:32.19]My skin is mad at my flesh' my flesh hates my own bones
[02:34.57]My brain hates my heart' my heart makes the songs
[02:37.33]Though my songs come from the Father
[02:38.81]I'm lonely...
[02:39.53]Hold me' it's gettin' darker
[02:41.19]
[02:51.65][02:41.51]For ever struggle' every strip' and every ghetto
[02:53.88][02:43.46]For every nigga toned in the pain and heavy metal
[02:56.49][02:46.05]For every child that's born
[02:58.43][02:47.73]And every nigga gone
[02:59.21][02:48.71]And for every brotha breathin'
[03:00.45][02:49.73]Live to see another mornin'
[03:02.00]
