[00:45.181] the is the genesis of a nemisis,
[00:48.521] mother America not witnessed since,

[00:52.721] this is the tale of lost innocence,
[00:56.731] and the incense burns and the turntables turn,
[00:59.691] and that Al Green plays,
[01:02.111] I see my mothers afro,as mama taps her toes,
[01:04.521] as she rolls her j's,
[01:07.161] and my papa just left the house,
[01:08.571] in search of a killer of my uncle Ray,and she's trying to calm her nerves,

[01:37.651] i hear a car go vroom,
[01:39.91] drug dealer in the bm with the top down,
[01:41.911] as the girls start to giggle,
[01:44.91] i ask why you laugh??
[01:45.351] they say you're to little,
[01:47.841] one day you'll understand,
[01:48.511] when you become a man,
[01:50.571] 'bout things you have to get you,
[01:52.271] fast forward freeze frame,
[01:53.61] on my pistol fistful of dollars,
[01:55.01] ignorance is so blessful,
[01:56.961] I ain't choose this life,
[01:58.311] this life chose me,
[01:59.661] around here it's the sh*t,
[02:01.21] that you just do,

[02:07.431] they had their guns drawn,
[02:08.451] screaming "just move",
[02:09.571] or is there something else you suggest we can do?,
[02:12.91] he made his way to the drunk,
[02:13.911] opened it like "huh",a treasure chest was removed,
[02:17.671] cops said he'll be back next month,
[02:19.671] what we call curpt,he call's payin'dues,
[02:23.451] now when rules is blurred,as they were,
[02:25.891] what am i to do but ....pray.
[02:28.521] pray the lord forgives me,
[02:29.911] pray he guides me for what i'm 'bout to go through....pray
[02:33.591] anywhere there's oppression,
[02:44.41] the drug profession,flourishes like beverages,
[02:47.371] refreshing,sweet taste of sin,
[02:50.231] everything i seen made me everything i am,
[02:52.741] bad drug dealer or victim,i beg,
[02:55.231] what came first,moving the chickens or the egg?,
[02:58.591] this is why i be so fresh,
[03:00.201] i'm trying to beat life,'cause i can't cheat death,
[03:03.271] treat shame like shamelessness,aim,
[03:05.821] stainless at anuses,
[03:06.651] you know the game this is,
[03:09.691] move coke like pepsi,don't matter what brand name it is,
[03:14.11] i stand behind mine,everything i do i'm a man behind mine,
[03:17.961] I'm not an angel,I'm sure,
[03:20.641] but every night before i lay,I drop my knees to the floor,
[03:23.191] and I pray.
