| At some point in your life you going to be put into a position
|
| To either due what you know what’s right or do what’s best for you
|
| Most of the time our selfish nature
|
| Makes us do what’s best for us no matter how bad it’ll be for the next person
|
| Uh Ebony’s only nineteen grew up without a father he left back in nine three
|
| And her mom’s didn’t take it well self-esteem went straight to hell couldn’t
|
| find peace
|
| Looking for it in the I-V feeling noid
|
| Bringing home strange with to try and fill the void
|
| In the next room Ebony could hear the noise
|
| What her mom did with those men she did with boys
|
| And the men used to treat her mom hell of bad
|
| Call her out her name and hit her if she started yelling back
|
| And one late night why Ebony’s laid up
|
| Mom’s friend sneaks into the room and rapes her
|
| She never tells anybody and she grows up
|
| Feeling like she’s nothing because that’s what he told her
|
| Every time he did it to her now she’s the known slut
|
| Dudes mess over not knowing that her soul’s crushed
|
| Uh then she meets you one day
|
| You got two options be another number
|
| Just another nigga that got what he wanted from her
|
| You can be a part of her feeling worthless
|
| Or be the first one to let her know what her worth is
|
| She ready to hit the track do you pimp her?
|
| Or give her the advice you’d give your little sister?
|
| Would you fix her or would you let the cash you wanted
|
| Convince you to take advantage of the fact she’s broken? |
| Bizzle
|
| What’s it gon be? |
| X4
|
| (I was in that situation homie and I ain’t make the right decision either
|
| I knew she was broken but her being broken is what got me paid
|
| Something in me told me to tell her that she was better than that
|
| But I knew if I told her that my money would stop evil.)
|
| Little Bink only fourteen pops was a dope dealer mom was a dope fiend
|
| Saw pops murders and mom’s OD so he moved with his G moms back in 03
|
| Project’s dead middle of the nigga sense
|
| Looked up to the older bloods he would kick it with
|
| Started off smoking weed then started pitching it
|
| Street life is reeling him in like a fisher men
|
| Grandma loving him but can’t keep up with him
|
| Big homies forcing him to fight just to toughen him
|
| Everybody judging him nobody was hugging him
|
| Ignored the hope in him just spoke to the thug in him
|
| Heart getting colder by the minute
|
| He never shows emotion so no one knows what’s in him
|
| He never knew love so all you got to do is ride for him
|
| And he’s ready to die or do FED time for ya
|
| Uh then he meets you one day
|
| Do you tell him it’s a better way give him hope?
|
| Or do you sit him on the corner and give him dope?
|
| Manipulate him into to taking your heat
|
| And convince him doing your time will make him a G?
|
| Do you make him a shooter and give him his first piece of chrome?
|
| Or tell him get an education and leave the streets alone?
|
| You can help him throw his life away
|
| Or be the first one to tell him he can start a new life today. |
| Bizzle
|
| What’s it gon be? |
| X4
|
| (I remember having a conversation with the homie
|
| Talking about the younger cats like there lives was expendable or something
|
| Like yea we’ll send the little niggas over there have them do dirt
|
| Like they freedom wasn’t worth nothing like their life being on the line wasn’t
|
| worth nothing
|
| Come on you got the option homie
|
| You can either speak life or speak death into this next generation
|
| You can either do what’s best for you which is take a chick that’s broken
|
| Keep her broken have the tools to fix her and not use it
|
| So that you can keep your money coming in
|
| Or see a little cat going in the wrong direction
|
| And keep him heading in that wrong direction
|
| Because he’ll do dirt for you and he’ll keep you out of jail
|
| By putting his life his freedom on the line for you
|
| You can keep him lost or use your experiences homie
|
| To tell him don’t go that way I been that way it’s a dead end
|
| Come on speak life turn your negative into positive Yea) |
