| You think God hears a prayer said in Hell
|
| Just know I’m doing life in a 6 square mile cell
|
| That I’m sharing with a 100 000 sisters and brothers
|
| Were sentenced to death for sins of thy father
|
| and being birthed here by our mothers
|
| And I wouldn’t trade it in for the worlds weight in gold
|
| And they haven’t built one like me since me I am told
|
| Shot my first gun when only a few feet tall I stood
|
| And it wasn’t with my father out hunting in the woods
|
| It was in the streets of my city handgun in my hand
|
| Shooting at the other kids, but you wouldn’t understand
|
| See none of us had fathers, well our fathers weren’t a man
|
| It was a woman called our mother and we would struggle and
|
| It wasn’t living it was surviving and we were constantly at war
|
| War left me nerves of steel and I don’t feel much anymore
|
| And love is just a word that I say
|
| And I can’t live it because I see it get people killed all day
|
| 3 little brothers incarcerated I don’t say it for your pity
|
| I mean I can still get you stabbed behind the wall if you fuck with me
|
| I was born to die here in Flint
|
| And I haven’t done that yet so in turn I ain’t done shit
|
| But lie here naked in the tub, filling it up with blood
|
| Thinkin' how I’m gonna get even, while my body drained of love
|
| They tried to take my life at 27
|
| I tried to take my life too motherfucker it just wasn’t happening
|
| I just wanna shoot and bring a body back to Michigan
|
| That’s points on the board
|
| I was stayin' up all nite when you would sleep and you would snore
|
| And they wanna say I don’t deserve this
|
| I gave up my life to get here, you wanna talk about purpose
|
| You have no purpose speaking
|
| They get killed for that where I come from nearly every fuckin' evening
|
| La Petite Mort,
|
| La Petite Mort,
|
| La Petite Mort,
|
| La Petite Mort,
|
| Tell 'em the whole story, tell 'em you surround yourself with ill intentions
|
| How its bad karma and it eats at you and your henchmen
|
| Father can you hear this, I know I’m asking and I’m worthless
|
| But can you take the shackles from my ankles
|
| Can you remove the bracelets from my wrists
|
| Father can you send for me like I’ve climbed off into the wind
|
| And it carried me far away from here
|
| And I would never come back here again
|
| Cause father I’m a rolling stone
|
| And my daddys not around and my mamma ain’t home
|
| And the law is always coming after me
|
| And its like I got the Devil on the back of me
|
| I was brought up in schools where they shoot each other in elementary
|
| 6 years old we put kids in the cemetery
|
| So when you go to bury me a 100 fuckin' men will have to carry me
|
| Why I’ll weigh a ton, why I’ll be carryin' a 100 fuckin' guns
|
| Cuz we die before we run, money don’t buy respect, money doesn’t cure pain
|
| It doesn’t take the scars out of my face its who I am, were not the same
|
| When I get down on my knees to pray the bullet wounds just ache in my legs
|
| And I’m not supposed to be on the worlds stage
|
| And People aren’t supposed to hear the words I say
|
| Cuz I’ve seen death and crying and suffering
|
| And you all speak but you’ve never seen a fuckin' thing
|
| Cuz you are weak cocksucker and I am KING
|
| Or a God in this land as a conscious being
|
| You know sex still sells and drugs still sell
|
| But the truth doesn’t sell never has never will
|
| I’m on the front line, I catch the bullet first
|
| My Brothers carry me or bury me whatever works
|
| Why whenever you speak its from a safe place
|
| Cuz you don’t wanna have all these holes in your face
|
| And you don’t want addicted to how your own blood tastes
|
| You don’t wanna have to get even for murder that’s taken place
|
| So I’m riding around loaded gun looking for the enemy
|
| Pray that when I see him God do your best to help me
|
| But don’t help me be the better man
|
| Help me have clear vision, help me have a steady hand
|
| Help me bring this child back to you and if his family seeks revenge well
|
| I’ll be sending them on up too
|
| Before you have an opinion know you would never do what I did to get here
|
| You’d never save up what I saved up
|
| You’d never give up what I gave up left em layin' face up
|
| So this morning when my Brothers woke
|
| Tell them to give my things to everyone I know
|
| And give a message to my father too
|
| Tell him I see his face on everyone I shoot
|
| It makes it easy to do…
