[00:26.57]Got no time for the conversations
[00:27.96]Or funny *****t
[00:28.70]
[00:29.28]*****  only the reals
[00:30.46]Who I get my money with
[00:32.02]Used to turn on the TV
[00:33.40]See what I want
[00:34.26]And now the same one
[00:35.21]I dreamed about
[00:35.99]The same one I'm stuntin' in
[00:37.31]

[00:57.11]Who stuck to what he believed in
[00:58.65]And turned himself into something great
[01:00.27]
[01:01.36]They should use that story to motivate
[01:02.84]
[01:04.16]But instead they'd rather focus on the fact
[01:06.35]That he's a pothead
[01:07.65]Not the fact there's not a lot where I lived
[01:09.64]25 and not dead

[01:51.00]
[01:52.17]People take their stresses
[01:53.31]And make them yours
[01:54.10]Well that's just what comes
[01:55.30]With being a man
[01:56.69]I try to do all
[01:57.66]That I can to make sure that
[01:58.62]My son grow up without having to see
[02:01.03]Half of the stuff I've been through

[02:27.09]By taking knowledge
