| I seen the error in your ways
|
| I can never correct the way you wrote your life
|
| And how you word your actions
|
| You never looked them over twice
|
| You just jot 'em down and wouldn’t give 'em any thought
|
| Over paper you crossed a line, wasn’t pretty smart
|
| Your whole attitude was way past the margin
|
| Trying to pass in the eyes of niggas who had no class
|
| Skipping on school and that experience was teaching
|
| 'Til they trapped behind bars looking serious when thinking
|
| Trying to pinpoint where they went wrong, reciting the same old song
|
| It seems like you writing just like him
|
| And you feeling like an artist drawing blanks within my brain waves
|
| To put it in black black and white, we wasn’t on the same page
|
| Wish I could have steered your hands in the right direction
|
| But you went out like the darkest ink writing in light complexion
|
| Still, I could adjust the actions that you’ve given me to read
|
| But my life holds literature that’s not easily agreed
|
| Whether right or wrong
|
| Both feet trailing ink moving right along
|
| I’m trying to live it like a lyric that ignite a song
|
| You live your life on the line, I just keep writing on
|
| If you step on any writer’s block, you may end up behind enemy lines
|
| Niggas got rap sheets long as my trinity rhyme
|
| Don a sling lead with your name on it, it was written
|
| Dropping hooks 'til the cocaine on us, to give 'em rhythm
|
| Some drink and smoke, a mind full of blackness makes a bold face
|
| But a past written too dark to erase still hold trace
|
| And stays there like our graffiti on them liquor stores
|
| Yosam blasts (?) name tag in the upper left corner
|
| Police they got these blocks down to a letter
|
| But guns that help you bare your soul like sitting down to a letter
|
| Elders (?) in this world is predominately white
|
| And it interests me that they never left the hood like they black as parentheses
|
| John Hancock’s a weapon, be careful as he’s printed
|
| Because he can push your wig (?) back like a paragraph’s indented |
