[00:03.02]A lot of people - black, white, Mexican
[00:08.10]Young or old, fat or skinny
[00:09.92]Have a problem being true to theyself
[00:11.70]They have a problem looking into the mirror
[00:13.79]And looking directly into their own soul
[00:15.25]That's the reason I am who I am today
[00:17.96]Cause I can look directly in my face and find my soul
[00:34.34]I'm old enough to know better
[00:35.83]Young enough to not give a f-ck
[00:37.58]Rather hold my high and
[00:38.66]Die then live and duck
[00:39.98]If you're cool being taken down and giving up
[00:42.82]Your lifestyle's a blow job
[00:44.13]
[00:44.79]The way you're living sucks
[00:46.43]I done felt pain  waited but no help came
[00:48.96]Went through some crazy
[00:50.16]Shit still kept myself sane
[00:51.95]You ever been dying of thirst and smelt rain
[00:54.71]Ever been told "go to hell"
[00:56.42]And felt flames
[00:57.44]The water's to your neck and only gets deeper
[01:00.05]It's all down hill and it only gets steeper
[01:03.30]Gotta get over it  be a hurdle leaper
[01:05.73]It cost to be the boss  it aint get no cheaper
[01:08.85]But there's a man above that we all under bro
[01:11.78]No bread truck but he work wonders though
[01:14.75]After you wake up  everything is wonderful
[01:17.50]You can overcome anything you undergo
[01:20.37]As an artist I'm just tryna paint the perfect picture
[01:23.23]But see where tryna wait for
[01:24.69]Somebody that's perfect gets you
[01:26.51]That usually lead to nothing like virgin kisses
[01:28.85]And I be tryna cut  surgeon bitches
[01:31.99]Dreams of splurging riches
[01:33.36]Pretty but curvy misses
[01:34.70]Chef to serve the dishes
[01:36.12]Driving to swerve the ditches
[01:37.94]I'm just another kid on the purple wishes
[01:40.55]And the streets is tough
[01:41.90]On the verge of viscious
[01:43.43]So I sold weed and crack  business
[01:46.22]That white girl helped a nigga  Fergalicious
[01:48.96]But getting money bring jealousy
[01:50.44]And verbal disses
[01:51.80]So when you killin' shit watch out for the murder witness
[01:54.69]An old head told me
[01:56.00]Let nothing disturb your business
[01:57.67]Beef is only good when you
[01:59.13]In the burger business
[02:00.39]So I chilled  but loaded up the steal
[02:02.69]Like I wish a nigga would
[02:04.16]But I know a nigga will
[02:06.39]But for real you loaded up to kill
[02:08.58]Cause soon as a nigga
[02:09.78]Could the sooner a nigga will
[02:12.69]And I don't owe these niggas nothing
[02:15.50]Put that in a nigga will
