[intro]
Yeah, feel my pain
Filled with pain
Its a struggle everyday
Did I walk in the right door?
I dont know
Yeah
I never back down, I do what it takes me
Things gettin shaky, cant let it break me
A lot love us, some hate me
Some friends snake me
Sometimes the shit just make me
Wanna grab the tote and lose it
It aint just tracks and raps
Its a whole other side to music
Things you cant see on mtv, but its here
Lord, whats happened to me?
Im really out there
Was this the right door to walk in?
Lips movin, but aint nobody talkin
I plead and I cry to the heaven skies above to show me love
Wish that I could backtrack and make it like it was, but I cant
1 - when the pains in me
I wish that it would let me be
But where can I run and where do I turn
When its chasin me?
Repeat 1
I got to deal with the what is, fuck what ifs
Got to put it down and make it right for my kids
How many parties, how many bottles gotta pop?
How many more gots to die?
When this shit gon stop?
I feel it in my heart, but I plays my part
Its a whole bigger picture so stay true to your art
Until Im hauled off in the car
Swear it wasnt this dark when I got my start
Internin, been chart burnin, kept learnin
Kept earnin, and the wheels kept turnin
But after all the hit songs and the fame is gone
Your money right, but everything else done gone wrong
Youre lonely, a lot of bitches is phony
Wanna know me just to tell niggas we homies
Whole time bitch schemin on my rolley
Its hard to watch everyone you with
When you rich, niggas with you try to get you
Plenty wanna hit you, I learned it now
It was no way out, now its no turnin around
Niggas that was with me, I praise em now
A toast to the red zone, raise em now
Repeat 1
Repeat 1
Silence, all eyes on me
But I can see through em like I knew em, so I walk to em
Extend my hand, try to talk to em
Stand while others ran and try to understand
Two sides of a story, let me tell my side of it
Its evident, its there, I cant hide from it
How much for the soul in the window?
Most wanna be rich and famous
Its dangerous, youll find out in a minute though
I love the close ones, sometimes feel like I got no one
Those that was there, I know I owe em
Backstabbers, I brush em off
In a room with straight faces, cant trust em all
Rush and fall, pause, let nature take its course
Stand firm cuz I serve a higher force
And I can scream til Im hoarse, hear me lord
See Im ? like 3 dice, riskin it all in street life
At the fork in the road, I made a hard right
I put the work in, then escaped the hard life
I put it down til its time to lay me down
Wanna be free, but a lot of shit weighs me down
The lights dimmin, who gon save me now?
Its all good, but it aint gravy now
We gots to do it for the babies now
And bring em up to correct all the wrong weve done
And dont let em sing the same song we sung
Like, killin each other off one by one
And turn em from slangin the drugs, into somein
You can make it out the ghetto in more ways than one
But for now imma pray for better days to come
Repeat 1
Repeat 1
