Can It Be (Half a Million Dollars and 18 Months Later) |
| For my supporters and fans, man I know ya’ll been waiting |
| Now its finally here and thank you for your patience |
| The worlds gone crazy since the last time we spoke |
| Blood shed in war, the absence of hope |
| Shooting at the school, the economy is a joke |
| Homies on heroine, homies on coke |
| But can you even blame them when they’re only trying to cope, damn! |
| All these rappers want to talk about is guns and dope |
| Don’t they realize we all at the end of our rope |
| The future all depends on the power of our quotes |
| The power of our pen, the power of our vote |
| The power of your words, the power of your voice |
| The power of America is the freedom of choice |
| We choose to do nothing, we losing, we’re suffering |
| Can it be that its time to do something |
| It’s not socialism, it’s not communism |
| It’s loving each other, realize there’s no difference |
| Its positive movement, gradual improvement |
| When no one else does, believe you can do it |
| My heart is a speaker, I bleed this music |
| The beats in my blood, I must transfuse it |
| If it wasn’t for this, then I just might lose it, damn! |
| My goddaughters, Nadia, Symon |
| Diana know your fathers' never coming home |
| Claimed by the streets its another war zone |
| Tears in my eyes as I’m writing this song |
| Mommy working two jobs trying to do it on her own |
| No matter where I go or how far I roam |
| Know that I love you, you’ll never be alone |
| Damn, you’re so grown |
| From the independent hip hop scene |
| Now they talking like how I’m not a hip hop fiend |
| Needle in my arm, can’t they see that I’m OD’N? |
| You’ll never take the stripes of this triple OG’N |
| I blaze trails, created festival |
| Lost 50Gs on Paid Dues, is that acceptable? |
| What? |
| I’m not down for the cause? |
| Hold on Mike, I’mma need a few bars |
| I could’ve done a Nas and scream hip hop is dead |
| I got up off my ass and I did something instead |
| Signed with the devil spent my scene in the upper level |
| Killed the beast from within now I’m a born again rebel |
| Trying to save the youth from the way of the gun |
| And if I only save one then my job is done |
| So you can say what you will, but you should judge me none! |
| From my God, from my faith; |
| I move place to place |
| Sometimes I thought if I should die, that’d be great |
| Drop on the spot man I didn’t even care |
| I stopped talking to you, I stopped saying prayers |
| Numb from the liquor and the anti-depressants |
| Pressure from the label, studio stressin' |
| Almost lost my passion to pursue this profession |
| For myself for my soul when I’m out on the road |
| I give so much out to these kids I don’t know |
| I thought I lost you with no one to talk to |
| But you’re the one that opened up the doors that I walked through |
| I can’t fault you only forgive you |
| I’m the only one that seen the pain that you been though |
| The drama the struggle that built all your issues |
| Its all just to make sure they never forget you |
| «Did I leave your mind when I was gone |
| Its not my thing trying to get back |
| But this time let me tell you where I’m at.» |
