Why am I fighting to live, if I'm just living to fightWhy am I trying to see, when there aint nothing in sightWhy am I trying to give, when no one gives me a tryWhy am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die?someone tell me y
I finally understand for a woman it ain't easy trying to raise a man.
I struggle to be rugged and raw dude, trying to survive in the trials and lawsuits, Everybody wants to test me, WHY ME?
I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THIS SOCIETY! First they try to murder me then they lie to me!
I try to find my way in the world you know, I try to be somebody instead of just, make money off of everybody
Now the whole worlds calling me a killer all I ever did was try to reach the kids with the realer.
Instead of of being so metaphorical with the rhyme, I was encouraged to go straight at it and hit it dead on and not waste time trying to cover things.
All I'm trying to do is survive and make good out of the dirty, nasty, unbelievable lifestyle that they gave me.
I gotta big mouth, I can’t help it, I talk from my heart, I’m real, whatever comes comes. But my controversy problem, it’s not my fault, I try to find my way in the world you know, I try to be somebody instead of just make money off of everybody. So I go down paths that haven’t been traveled before and I usually mess up, but I learn, I come back stronger..
I set goals, take control, drink out my own bottleI make mistakes but learn from every oneAnd when it's said and doneI bet this brother be a better oneIf I upset you dont stressNever forget, that God isn't finished with me yet
I' ve been shot five times but im still breathing living proof there a god if you need a reason.
Thanks for comin out, God bless you, good night...What of fame?Everyone knows your face, the world screams your nameAnd never again, are you alone..
Wars come and go, but my soldiers stay eternal
If we're all saying that rap is an artform then we gotta be more responsible for our lyrics. If you see everybody dying because of what you're saying, it don't matter that you didn't make them die, it just matters that you didn't save them.
