Maximal R&B - The Freshest & Hottest R&B/ Hip-Hop Music! |
| [00:21.20] |
|
| [00:21.80] |
It's hard to breath and hard to run when your lungs black and |
| [00:25.03] |
Coughing up blood like, what the fuck happened? |
| [00:27.64] |
Raising my wrist to cancer's the answer homie, |
| [00:30.07] |
But after drinking something it's nothing like puffin a bogie |
| [00:32.98] |
Now I could blame the same product placements in movies, |
| [00:35.59] |
All the commercials, or scarface in a jacuzzi |
| [00:38.62] |
But now I'm living it, damn I shoulda never took that first cigarette |
| [00:42.55] |
|
| [00:44.37] |
I fucked up, like your girl was riding on top of me, |
| [00:46.76] |
I shoulda took her to trial, and never copped a plea, |
| [00:49.47] |
But this ain't a Christian nation, motherfucker please |
| [00:52.24] |
America never taught me to turn the other cheek |
| [00:55.01] |
Cause I'm from Harlem, the north of Manhattan, |
| [00:57.74] |
We knock niggas out, and make 'em bounce like Ricky Hatton, |
| [01:00.67] |
But wildin' on the corner got me turned back from the Canadian border |
| [01:04.56] |
|
| [01:05.58] |
I knew she was a virgin when I first met her, |
| [01:09.22] |
Rockin stocking, popping out of the catholic school sweater, |
| [01:11.73] |
Mom told me she could do better than a criminal |
| [01:14.32] |
Seventeen year old psychotic trying to be lyrical |
| [01:17.03] |
I never meant to break her heart or fuck up her life, |
| [01:19.85] |
But I was careless instead of treating her right |
| [01:22.32] |
I seen her again at some club, stripping, |
| [01:24.28] |
And wondered if I could have made her life different |
| [01:26.64] |
|
| [01:50.33] |
I joined the army looking for money to go to college |
| [01:52.64] |
But they didn't pay me a quarter of what they fucking promised |
| [01:55.43] |
Extended my tour, treated me like a sucker |
| [01:57.90] |
That's the reason offices get fragged, motherfucker |
| [02:00.80] |
Don't give me speeches on how you respect and you love me, |
| [02:03.40] |
But no body armor in a lightly armored Humvee? |
| [02:06.10] |
My family's lonely, and you want me to re-enlist for thirty grand homie? |
| [02:10.55] |
|
| [02:12.31] |
When I was young I got signed to a record label, |
| [02:14.52] |
The deal looked so good when it was on the table |
| [02:17.28] |
It paid for my cable, cribs, cars and jewelry, the studios, the women, |
| [02:21.22] |
There's nothing they wouldn't do for me, |
| [02:22.78] |
Except stop screwing me for publishing the royalties |
| [02:25.52] |
How the fuck are you my dog when there's no loyalty |
| [02:28.13] |
Word to the street, I shoulda gone independent like Immortal Technique |
| [02:32.45] |
|
| [02:34.10] |
Some people learn from mistakes and don't repeat them, |
| [02:36.83] |
Others try to block the memories and just delete them |
| [02:39.33] |
But I keep them as a reminder they not killing me, |
| [02:41.95] |
And I thank God for teaching me humility |
| [02:44.71] |
Son remember when you fight to be free, |
| [02:47.21] |
To see things how they are, and not how you like 'em to be |
| [02:50.13] |
Cause even when the world is falling on top of me, |
| [02:52.98] |
Pessimism is an emotion, not a philosophy |
| [02:55.88] |
Knowing what's wrong, doesn't imply that you right, |
| [02:58.67] |
And it's another when you suffer to apply it in life, |
| [03:01.21] |
But I'm no rookie, and I'm never gonna make the same mistake twice, pussy |
| [03:05.32] |
|
| [03:05.88] |
