| He try leading with his heart
 | 
| Without bleeding from his heart
 | 
| Bacardi dark and blunts sparked meetings in the park
 | 
| Jacques Cousteau, below city level, fleein' from sharks
 | 
| Pushers playin' while police man up with snitchers and narcs
 | 
| Could cheddar be so vital a piece of my soul’s survival
 | 
| To the point to even go look for peace you load your rifle?
 | 
| Past mistakes, court dates, brand you for life
 | 
| Force hand makes the crackheads scramble for pipes
 | 
| Fast grands, take your high stakes, gamble for ice
 | 
| Look at the surface of the game, dang, that’ll be nice
 | 
| Figured the purpose of the game, man, that’ll be life
 | 
| Or get two circles on the chain, wrists gotta be tight
 | 
| Either your head on the cruiser or the lead from the Luger
 | 
| Mighta made ya some dough but ain’t no bread in your future
 | 
| Kinda movin' too slow, ya better spread 'fore they shoot ya
 | 
| Hospital bed, can’t use your legs like ya use to

 | 
| Come a little closer into the life of a smoker
 | 
| Where paranoia is the price to be sober, over my shoulder
 | 
| Seems to be the land of the lost and the home of the slaves
 | 
| Where soldiers carry toasters in holsters, supposed to be brave
 | 
| But underneath the surface they purpose is lost in they ways
 | 
| They walk in a daze, the only time they spark when they blaze
 | 
| They off in a maze, the high life you’ve lost to get paid
 | 
| The low life is when you’re tossed in that cage, or in that grave
 | 
| So I stay with an open mind, my mind’s open
 | 
| When I’m totin' 9s on the grind hopin' over time
 | 
| I can climb to the top of the cliff
 | 
| 'Cause right now I’m standin' at the edge stiff, I’m hopin' that I don’t slip
 | 
| One slight, false move and my life in this tight grip
 | 
| The lose all strength in the time and be priceless
 | 
| Though my right fist is stuck in the air to show power
 | 
| My left hand’s holdin' them grams of snow powder

 | 
| I see dice games, I’m side bettin', makin' a killin', man
 | 
| Homies fuckin' niggas swiping rings and chains
 | 
| Money lost now, a body picked up off ground
 | 
| That child saw it, deafened by pain it was an assault sound
 | 
| Bangs they all round, bangs on her hair
 | 
| Yessir, her right there, she livin' the nightmare
 | 
| In the couch room bounce a tip with curtains closed
 | 
| Supposed to dance but off the deck some piles a sniff she workin' poles
 | 
| Slice of onion make her cry
 | 
| 'Cause of lack of funding standards are lowered like dungeons only to survive
 | 
| For many life ain’t half over at the end of its rope
 | 
| Like they just smoked bad dope blended with soap paint
 | 
| But were getting paid however we can
 | 
| It’s hard in Lexington, and I’m feelin' less than a man
 | 
| Leaders misleadin' and weavin' rivals for fraud
 | 
| Plague like weed caught a swing from Moses' rod
