| 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
