Yo get a real job. Rappin doesn't pay the rent, I hate the studio cause that's where all my money went.
Questions for the lord, why he don't like me, guard my soul, Though my life was hard with no remorse.
Money made me evil, court cases got me stressed Niggaz aimin at my head but I still wear my vest.
Burnin' churches, fearin' God, Who can be so cruel, We all ignorant to AIDS, Till it happens to you.
And still, the best of us build, and reach monetary gains. Some of us kill, but still, most of us can change.
To me, I feel that my game is strong. I feel as thought I'm a shining prince, just like Malcolm, and I feel that all of us are shining princes, and if we live like princes, then whatever we want can be ours. Anything.
No longer living in fear, my pistol close in hand, Convinced this is my year.
Mama raised a hellraiser why cry, That's just life in the ghetto, do or die.
God come save the youth, Ain't nothin else to do but have faith in you, Dear Lord I live the life of a Thug, hope you understand Forgive me for my mistakes, I gotta play my hand.
They claim that I'm violent just cuz I refuse to be silent.
So many other things for us to see, Things to be, Our history so full of tragedy and misery.
We ain't meant to survive, cause it's a setup, And even though you're fed up, Huh, ya got to keep your head up.
It's kinda hard to be optimistic, When your homies lying dead on the pavement twisted.
I'm tired of being a nice guy, I've been poor all my life, but don't know quite why.
