|
| Cigarettes be like, batteries when I need to write
|
| All play nice, 'til the sun comes up
|
| Tryin' to come up with flows over drums
|
| While we love blowin' droves
|
| Hard to get by, with a pocket full of crumbs
|
| In a fat state where everybody tryin to cake
|
| And eat it to, no jokin'
|
| Now, ironies of life, got me tryin' to quit smokin'
|
| While I’m smokin', goin' through the motions
|
| Stay floatin', keep the head above waters
|
| All types of emotions
|
| Knowin' the best thing is to maintain
|
| Streets is flames, spoke tryin' to peep our game:
|
| How we played
|
| Puttin' down bets, down the begs
|
| Surrounded by effects
|
| Feelin' like; |
| soon everything’s gonna be all right
|
| Better tomorrows
|
| No time for sorrow
|
| Keep it up
|
| Got to stay up.
|
| … I’ll pray for us.
|
| [You know what we can do and what we can’t do?
|
| What we can say and what we can’t say?
|
| I don’t know that anymore.
|
| … So I’m in a position that
|
| The only thing that I can say about that is: Fuck it!]
|
| … Stay focused
|
| Even when things seem hopeless
|
| Time movin' so quick
|
| Fall back, and see it all in slow-motion
|
| Head all over the place; |
| what a mess
|
| Give my best through the complication
|
| Event new ideas and innovate kids
|
| Our future — generations
|
| Dependin' on a strength of role models
|
| Sons that grew up without fathers
|
| All wasn’t bard, but, still tryin' to bill harder
|
| Put in work, life is worth
|
| More than the problems we let boggle us
|
| Through petty arguments
|
| Parents startled of their young ones
|
| Goin' out in the dark, better give them truth
|
| Before they find out for themselves
|
| And can’t get through it
|
| But we learn, mad of how we was raised
|
| In the race, from a little to a lot
|
| Out of the game, makin' no matter
|
| What those that didn’t understand had to say.
|
| [I don’t think they really understand what they’re doing
|
| I think they’re so hung up on maintaining their positions
|
| That the only way that people could deal with this.
|
| … Is to take it in the streets.]
|
| … 'Cuz we, been through the struggle
|
| Now we tryin' to come through
|
| Talkin' about life, and moms — how I love you
|
| Past days full of stress, cigarettes and licks
|
| Piss, but I can’t get sick
|
| Gotta stay up, pray for us
|
| See 'em brighter days
|
| Smiles on our face
|
| Sometimes I want to get away
|
| Stay and lookin' up at the heavens
|
| Devine minds, devisualise the seven
|
| Within concealed sins
|
| Came from the bottom of the bin; |
| puttin' in bid
|
| And everybody got mad jokes
|
| Growth, gang with hopes
|
| At the end of our ropes
|
| Cats laugh with their folks
|
| Never let problems fade you
|
| Know, everything true, everyday true |
