| Yeah, after Dah Shinin, it all became clear to me
|
| I knew things would be different son
|
| I knew it’d come time for a change
|
| Seems like the time is now
|
| Jah! |
| Rastafarai
|
| Greetings to my soldiers and soldierettes
|
| Jewel on the world, make the earth sink
|
| On the brink of divinity, defying gravity
|
| Reachin' for infinity
|
| Can he be incarcerated by the limits
|
| Stuck, they can’t function
|
| Caught up in the scrimage
|
| This game called life only lasts minutes
|
| Once you in it, be in it to win it to the finish
|
| As the sun heats, I put my feet to the concrete
|
| Hard to sleep so I take it to the streets
|
| Hold my head up, try to keep it movin'
|
| Fed up with losin'
|
| I need some air
|
| I think I take a cruise with you
|
| I’m using, what little know how I posess
|
| To keep our familia down to rest
|
| Now I stress defensive tactics
|
| Cause police seem active
|
| Got me in the crib sleepin' with heat under the mattress
|
| In case of home intrusion:
|
| First the dogs go «bark»
|
| Then about five sparks bringin' light to the dark
|
| Like? |
| does his movement when he’s dealin' with math
|
| Or the boss tell his workers where he’s keepin' the stash
|
| When that gun blast, better have Jah on your side
|
| Or an act of devine intervention from the most high
|
| I know guys that get a thrill from the kill
|
| And other niggas, who hold the greed to sling? |
| frills?
|
| Demon’s tryin' to take my soul away
|
| But they won’t get my soul today
|
| Will I get locked up or blown away?
|
| Just stayin' strong is a price to pay

| Damn I haven’t worked since I was 'bout 17
|
| They had time busy hangin' out being a drama fiend
|
| I had to run the streets, see what the night brought out
|
| Sneak in the crib
|
| Hear my moms prayin' to God that I sprout
|
| Take all responsibilities like a man would do
|
| Cause she know that the streets can bring the worst out of you
|
| She told me concentrate on school but what I do about loot?
|
| I wanna push the fat ride, have bitches sweatin' me too
|
| But you know you need dough so you can do the do
|
| And going to class everyday don’t bring in no loot
|
| Plus I just been told that I was cold by club bouncers
|
| Standing there hot headed 'bout to set it while they denounce us
|
| Crab niggas still beggin' for CD’s
|
| While brothaz' careers is stuck on halt and freeze
|
| About to face extinction? |
| pockets dead is thinkin'?
|
| Something ain’t peace and suicide’s part of my thinkin'
|
| Even God don’t hear my prayer or him just not care
|
| Got a son in this world, stressed out losin' my hair
|
| Demon’s tryin' to take my soul away
|
| But they won’t get my soul today
|
| Will I get locked up or blown away?
|
| Just stayin' strong is a price to pay
|
| It’s time to take the struggle to the pavement
|
| Let the people know the mayor sent the OK for enslavement
|
| Orders from the government
|
| Official stubborn men with egos runnin' shit
|
| They put the hit out on whoever try to get out
|
| And they are the directors who are dead and?
|
| Even down south in Atlanta
|
| Police play the pawn for their master
|
| It’s a disaster, practicing who can kill us faster
|
| For less than nothin' like they did Bobby Huton
|
| Corruption got me clutchin' my rifle for gun bustin'
|
| Somethin’s cookin'
|
| Look at the way some faces be lookin'
|
| Cross the bank rock on to Brooklyn, Texas
|
| Even in Houston P’s be shootin' us like sitting ducks in groups
|
| And I can’t trust who or what
|
| That will explain the way I watch you, plus
|
| I know the chosen are few
|
| Many come around to proclaim things they know not
|
| Let alone maintain
|
| Shame, some of my worst enemies
|
| Live right around me and look just like me
|
| I see that its time to intensify the movements in front of my eyes
|
| Can’t rely on a seeing dog they got me
|
| Or lay and wait for the devil to surprise me, nah G

| It only takes a line to make the mind think
|
| Drop a jewel on the world make the earth sink
|
| I’m on the brink of divinity, defying gravity
|
| Reaching for infinity
|
| Plenty be incarcerated by the limits
|
| Stuck they can’t function caught up in the scrimage
|

|
| Once you in it, be in it to win it 'till the finish
