How can I be a man if there is no role model?
I turn to a life of crime cause I came from a broken family.
It don't stop 'til the casket drop.
Now the baby's in the trash heap balling.
Play the game, never let the game play you.
Now the whole worlds calling me a killer all I ever did was try to reach the kids with the realer.
Tomorrow I see change, a chance to build a new. Built on spirit intent of heart, and ideals based on truth.
And everyday I read the paper, there's another lie. They show my picture for the crimes of another guy.
Nobody should be hitting lotto for 36 million dollars when we got people starving in the streets. That is not idealistic, that's just real. That is just stupid. There's no way Michael Jackson, or whoever should have thousands, millions, billions of dollars and we got people broke with two-three jobs and still can't pay bills on time. There's no way! No way these people should have planes when people don't have houses, apartments, shacks, drawers, pants!!!
For every single dark night there is a brighter day.
Before we find world peace, we gotta find peace in the war on the streets.
Thug Life to me is dead.
How many caskets can we witness before we see it's hard to live this life without God, so we must ask forgiveness.
If I could patent 'being real', I think I could own that.
