00:00:00Uh, yeah, yeah, uh, yeah
00:00:09Pouring in the trenches, raised in the fire
00:00:13Heart full of rage, got a soul full of wire
00:00:15Ain't no peace when you live by the code
00:00:18Either kill or be killed, that's the life that we chose
00:00:21See too many homies laid out in the dirt
00:00:23Bullets got no names and the pain only worse
00:00:26Mama praying for a change but the streets don't sleep
00:00:29So I keep one loaded just to die on my feet
00:00:31Enemies lurking, I can see them in the dark
00:00:34Trying to set me up but I'm moving too smart
00:00:37Snakes in the grass so I cut through the roots
00:00:39Only trust my own blood, only ride with the troops
00:00:42Money bring power but it come with a cost
00:00:45Every dollar that I make is another soul lost
00:00:47Ain't no love in this world, just a war every day
00:00:50So I'm ten toes down till they put me in a grave
00:00:53It's a war zone, we ain't backing down
00:00:56Load the cliffs, bring the fire, let them hear the sound
00:00:58Ain't no mercy when you raised in the pain
00:01:01Either die like a dog or survive in the game
00:01:03It's a war zone, watch your step
00:01:06Ain't no trust when the streets full of death
00:01:09Trying to break free but the past still lurks
00:01:11Ain't no way out when your soul been cursed
00:01:14I don't flinch, I don't fold, I don't run from the heat
00:01:17I done been through the hell, I done bled on these streets
00:01:19See my day once turned into ghosts overnight
00:01:22So I ride with a vengeance, I ain't looking for light
00:01:24System on its lock, wanna see us in chains
00:01:27But I'd rather die free than be stuck in the game
00:01:30Every cop wanna stop me, wanna see me lose
00:01:32But I'm built for this fight, got nothing to prove
00:01:35Pressure make diamonds in the pain, made a beast
00:01:38Dripped the scars, took the lost, now I feast on the weak
00:01:40Came from the bottom, now I move like a king
00:01:43But I never forgot what the struggle can break
00:01:45So I move with the fire, got the weight on my chest
00:01:48If they come for my life, then I lay on the rest
00:01:51Ain't no tears in my eyes, only rage in my soul
00:01:53I was born for this war, now I'm taking control
00:01:56It's a war zone, we ain't backing down
00:02:00Load the cliffs, bring the fire, let them hear the sound
00:02:02Ain't no mercy when you're raised in the pain
00:02:05Need to die like a dog or survive in the game
00:02:07It's a war zone, watch your step
00:02:10Ain't no trust when the streets full of depth
00:02:13Tryna break free, but the past still lurks
00:02:15Ain't no way out when your soul been cursed
00:02:18Smoke the coke, excel in pain, nonsense
00:02:21AK-47 make you scary jumps, break that streets soft and blind
00:02:25Souls filled with slugs, bustin' steady fuck, you got no love for scrubs
00:02:29Mackin' like I'm on a roll nigga, from Don't Dillin' to old nigga
00:02:33You run up, I'll be smokin' ya, jumpin' blood
00:02:35I get some quick, take the jewelry, stash the Uzi
00:02:38And then dip, splittin' wigs, ain't no thing to me
00:02:41A cold heart, I won't guard this game
00:02:43We're trying to maintain just one bang
00:02:46The chain since the 90s, squashed the beat
00:02:48Left the street like behind me
00:02:50You couldn't get me stiff, sippin' on Remy
00:02:53Mackin' on hope, stackin' the dough more than 20 years since I left
00:02:57Comin' back to collect the depth, chumps
00:02:59This is life after death, y'all
00:03:01It's a war zone, we ain't backin' down
00:03:04Load the cliffs, bring the fire, let them hear the sound
00:03:06Ain't no mercy when you raised in the pain
00:03:09Need to die like a dog or survive in the game
00:03:11It's a war zone, watch your step
00:03:14Ain't no trust when the streets full of depth
00:03:17Tryna break free, but the past still lurks
00:03:19Ain't no way out when you're so been cursed
00:03:22Mama worked two shifts just to keep on the lights
00:03:33Pops disappeared, left the ghosts in the night
00:03:49Food's fast, fatty stretch, hunger buildin' my ribs
00:03:52Now I'm cookin' up dreams in a dope boy crib
00:03:55Steal in my palm, trust none, love you
00:03:57Every smile here fake, everybody go shoot
00:04:00Funeral lines stretch longer than our hope
00:04:03They kill us young, we just learn to cope
00:04:05Liquor store pop is preach, death is survival
00:04:08Ghetto gospel from the mouth of my rivals
00:04:11Every block got a price, every soul got a tag
00:04:13Every kid got a hustle, a scheme or a bag
00:04:16Street lights flicker, my heart turn cold
00:04:19Learn pain too young, now I'm feelin' too old
00:04:21God don't answer, but the devil stay close
00:04:24I write songs to the lost poor liquor for the ghost
00:04:27Hard life, ghetto scriptures scar my skin
00:04:29Every step of war zone, every breath of sin
00:04:32Hard life, we don't pray, we just load and spin
00:04:35Rushin' roulette with fate, who gon' lose, who win?
00:04:37Hard life, no saviors, no peace, no truce
00:04:40Where the truth worth less than a junkie's tooth
00:04:43Hard life, every soul here chained to the street
00:04:45Every verse that I spit, just my heart on beat
00:04:48Born broke, died young, that's the cycle they gave
00:04:51Even hope got a price when you lived like a slave
00:04:53We was kings in the dirt, wearin' crowns of fame
00:04:56Every tear turn to ink when I spill my name
00:04:59We learn math with the scales, size with the flame
00:05:01History from obituaries, names and frames
00:05:04Cops lock doors down, play a break, steal truth
00:05:07Help the defenders sell us out in the booth
00:05:09Dreams ride fast in the world this cold
00:05:12Even sunshine, yeah, got a gun to hold
00:05:15Babies born addicted, grow up too quick
00:05:17Learn to block before they read
00:05:19Survival is thick, we don't pray for a future
00:05:21We pray to survive, every block party here
00:05:24Like a funeral live, so I'm rank for the voiceless
00:05:27The hopeless, the damned, concrete songs from a ghetto-born man
00:05:31Hard life, ghetto scriptures scar my skin
00:05:33Every step of war's on, every breath of sin
00:05:36Hard life, we don't pray, we just slow to spin
00:05:39Russian roulette with fate, who gon' lose, who win?
00:05:41Hard life, no saviors, no beasts, no truths
00:05:44Where the truth worth less than a joke is truth
00:05:47Hard life, every soul here changed in the street
00:05:49Every verse that I spit, just my heart on beat
00:05:52Change the locks, it's the West take over
00:05:55Alcoholics, no much of time remains sober
00:05:57I need a clear head, looking at these punks
00:06:00Address, I can't comprehend how they didn't end like this
00:06:03Niggas getting rich over bullshit
00:06:06Don't confuse if they wanna label it as music
00:06:08Accusing to the thieves to subject you and me
00:06:11To the industry, schemes trying to check who I be
00:06:13I could never let them leave
00:06:15Put their vests on my chest and be ready to show them
00:06:18That they can bleed if they coming for my shit
00:06:20Light them up like bliss
00:06:21Niggas didn't think they would be dying in the ditch
00:06:24What they do when they run up, I'ma put my gun up
00:06:27Fuckin' the deaths, that's the beginning of my club
00:06:29I'm a motherfuckin' roof, I'm mine, so get dirty
00:06:32Step to me, you die, nigga, you ready
00:06:35Hard life, yeah, those scriptures scar my skin
00:06:37Every step of war's on, every breath of sin
00:06:40Hard life, we don't pray, we just slow to spin
00:06:43Russian roulette with fate, who gon' lose, who win?
00:06:45Hard life, no saviors, no beasts, no truths
00:06:48Where the truth worth less than a joke is truth
00:06:51Hard life, every soul here changed in the street
00:06:53Every verse that I spit, just my heart on beat
00:06:56I came from the bottom, no love in my veins
00:07:10Only hunger, only pain, only thunder when it rains
00:07:13Ain't no peace where I'm from, only murder and dirt
00:07:15Where the young ones die, for they know what they worth
00:07:18Eyes wide open, gotta watch every step
00:07:21Cause the reaper don't wait, he just cashes the check
00:07:23Loyalty fake, but the bullets real
00:07:26So I keep my circle small and my hands on the steel
00:07:29Death in the air, feel the pressure build up
00:07:31One move, one slip, and your time is up
00:07:34Ain't no mercy in the heart of a man on the edge
00:07:37And no sink is in a world full of snakes and fans
00:07:39Blood on my shoes, but I never look back
00:07:42On me forward, on me roar, on me death, on me tracks
00:07:45If I fall, let them know that I died on my feet
00:07:47With my fist in the air and my soul never weep
00:07:50I'm ruthless
00:07:51Cold-blooded, no fear
00:07:53Built for the struggle, made pain disappear
00:07:55I'm ruthless
00:07:56Death looking at my soul
00:07:58Ain't no love in this game
00:07:59Only heart made of stone
00:08:01I'm ruthless
00:08:02War running through my veins
00:08:03Ain't no saving my soul
00:08:05I was raised in the flame
00:08:06I'm ruthless
00:08:07Yeah, I'm ready for the fight
00:08:09Come and take my life
00:08:10If you think you got the right
00:08:11I done seen bodies drop with no aims to remember
00:08:24I done felt cold, still breast deep
00:08:27Big December
00:08:27Ain't no heroes in the war
00:08:29Only bodies in pain
00:08:30And the ones who survive never think the same
00:08:32Government corrupt, they don't care if we die
00:08:35They just feed us more drugs, more wars, more lies
00:08:37Trying to break free, but the chain's too tight
00:08:40Trying to see hope, but I live in the night
00:08:43Enemies close, so I sleep with a glock
00:08:45Every step that I take might be my last shot
00:08:48Pray to God, but I think you wear to death
00:08:51Cause the streets talk louder than the words that he left
00:08:53Ain't no love, no peace, no breaks, no rest
00:08:56Just the pressure of survival in a hole in my chest
00:08:59So I stand like a king in the eye of the storm
00:09:01Ruthless to the grave, I was built to be torn
00:09:04I'm ruthless
00:09:06Cold-blooded, no fear
00:09:07Built for the struggle, made pain disappear
00:09:10I'm ruthless
00:09:11Death lurking in my zone
00:09:13Ain't no love in this game
00:09:14Only heart made of stone
00:09:15I'm ruthless
00:09:16War running through my veins
00:09:18Ain't no saving my soul
00:09:19I was raised in the flames
00:09:21I'm ruthless
00:09:22Yeah, I'm ready for the fight
00:09:23Come and take my life
00:09:25If you think you got the right
00:09:26For the line, I'm being given
00:09:39I'm sized in a system designed
00:09:40The lepers slowly killing our minds
00:09:42Help me to navigate this maze
00:09:44I'm feeling hopeless
00:09:45Saddy losing focus like a hollis
00:09:47So I cope, it's a rich man's world
00:09:48Ain't no need to ask why
00:09:50Slave a way till we die
00:09:51Let the preacher and your pride just
00:09:53Want to live my life
00:09:54Treat me from my burden, Lord
00:09:56But call me home and then it's my time
00:09:59Killing, I'll be hustling
00:10:00Running through the smuggers and problems
00:10:02With nobody that I can trust
00:10:03And we all go through pain
00:10:05But curling all these tears
00:10:07Since the spots this water's keeping us sane
00:10:09I cannot blame a nigga
00:10:10Taking this revenge from the dead
00:10:11Homie, but a night for a night
00:10:13And the line is gonna get lonely
00:10:15When it begin, let us approach the evil
00:10:17And finally bring peace to our people
00:10:19I'm ruthless
00:10:20Cold-blooded, no fear
00:10:22Built for the struggle, made pain disappear
00:10:25I'm ruthless
00:10:26Deaf looking at my soul
00:10:27Ain't no love in this game
00:10:29Only heart made a stone
00:10:30I'm ruthless
00:10:31War running through my veins
00:10:33Ain't no saving my soul
00:10:34I was raised in the flame
00:10:35I'm ruthless
00:10:36Yeah, I'm ready for the fight
00:10:38Come and take my life
00:10:39If you think you got the right
00:10:52I've seen fiends trade dreams for a twenty-five
00:11:05Kids watching bodies drop right outside they spot
00:11:07Hustlers turn saints when the steel get cocked
00:11:10Prayers hit the ceiling but the pain don't stop
00:11:13Mama worked three jobs just to pay that rent
00:11:15Daddy in a cell, life came and went
00:11:18I learned math with the scales, science with the flame
00:11:21History was the homie who got lost to the game
00:11:23Street lights, hum, songs full of murder and pain
00:11:26Every storm leaves a thuddle, blood nixed with rain
00:11:29No peace in the night, just sirens and screams
00:11:31And dreams die slow like old dope fiends
00:11:34Every block got a name that they whisper in fear
00:11:37Every child learn the cost when they bury a pier
00:11:39Bullets fly like birds but they never find rest
00:11:42Every moment could be final
00:11:44Welcome to the test
00:11:45Hard life, ghetto scriptures written in scars
00:11:47We don't pray to the heavens, we just talk to the stars
00:11:50Hard life, every step feel close to the grave
00:11:53Only love we ever knew was the strength to stay brave
00:11:55Hard life, every corner a grave or a cell
00:11:58But we still chase hope, even living in hell
00:12:01Hard life, ghetto scriptures carved in the streets
00:12:03Every rhyme that I spit is my heart on the beat
00:12:06We was raised off hunger in the coldest nights
00:12:09Every meal was a hustle, every rhyme felt right
00:12:11We was kids playing war with no choice but fight
00:12:14Now my homie in the dirt named lit by candlelight
00:12:17Cops raid doors, turn homes to a tomb
00:12:20Brothers disappear faster than the flowers bloom
00:12:22Nobody graduate, just early parole
00:12:25They teach survival, not dreams, just heart and soul
00:12:27I've seen fathers teach sons how to load that steel
00:12:30Cause the only thing real is the pain we feel
00:12:33We tattoo our stories so the world won't forget
00:12:35Every scar on my skin like a permanent threat
00:12:38Love is a whisper but the hate scream loud
00:12:41Even funerals got shooters hiding in the crowd
00:12:43We just shadows of the kings that we never could be
00:12:46Every choice that we make chain tight to the streets
00:12:49Hard life, ghetto scriptures written in stars
00:12:51We don't pray to the heavens, we just talk to the stars
00:12:54Hard life, every step feel close to the grave
00:12:57Only love we ever knew was the strength to stay brave
00:12:59Hard life, every corner a grave or a cell
00:13:02But we still chase hope, even living in hell
00:13:05Hard life, ghetto scriptures carved in the streets
00:13:07Every rhyme that I spit is my heart on the beat
00:13:10I write letters to the dead, hope they send one back
00:13:13Tell Biggie we still stuck in the cycle of black
00:13:15Same hood, same pain, same blood on the curb
00:13:18Only difference now is my voice getting heard
00:13:21Ghetto scriptures, my truth bleed in the dark
00:13:23Every soul left behind is a permanent mark
00:13:26From the cradle to the grave, we still spring fight
00:13:29Even if they kill the poet, they can't kill the light
00:13:31The lie, I cannot hold back thick-ass ties in this knob that delights me like Crozat
00:13:37You've been looking at me ever since I stepped in the yutty dog plays and the pimp never slept in
00:13:42You know who I be, my boss player status, my tactics impeccable, baby I don't practice
00:13:48I'm chilling like a villain, I've been in this camp for years
00:13:50Made a killing, dealing, wrecking some bitches and all their peers
00:13:53So jump in my ride, let's go dip it
00:13:55Still sitting on chrome so than ever catch me slipping
00:13:58I've been hitting switches since the 90s, so nigga, come and try me
00:14:01Still, leaving niggas hooked up to an RV
00:14:03Keep a side piece at all times, pass it to the homie
00:14:06Cause a bitch will never truly know me
00:14:08I'm an OG, so blow me if you don't like my style
00:14:11We still here, nigga, and that's been quite a while
00:14:14It's hard life, ghetto scriptures written in scars
00:14:17We don't pray to the heavens, we just talk to the stars
00:14:19Hard life, every step, feel close to the grave
00:14:22Only love we ever knew was the strength to stay brave
00:14:25Hard life, every corner, a grave or a cell
00:14:27But we still chase hope, even living in hell
00:14:30Hard life, ghetto scriptures carved in the streets
00:14:33Every rhyme that I spit, is my heart on the beat
00:14:35They say out of sight, out of mind
00:14:37So your tattoo on my arm, I had to renew
00:14:39You'll put back the dark and the ink
00:14:41Sharpen the contrast, dark confers ought to have the heart sparkling again
00:14:44A little picture dog tag, kind of think of all the things I miss
00:14:47All sorts of mischief we get in by throwing caution to the wind
00:14:50Grand calls, we prank, talking all that I stick
00:14:52How many people must have thought you were sick in a noggin'
00:14:55And I'm not kidding, a lot it might have been off to some shit
00:14:57You, me, and Todd shootin' off a whole clip of a naked 47 at 11 years old
00:15:02I would handle a coat, 45 when we were 7 or so
00:15:05Targeting biz, despite the weapons
00:15:06I guess Tom Nelson really wasn't equipped to be watchin' us fix
00:15:10In hindsight, I think it's quite remarkable
00:15:12As kids, we didn't shoot off our own dicks
00:15:13But it was you who introduced me to rap
00:15:16The reckless record had me and Todd from the get-go
00:15:18Hard life, ghetto scriptures written in scars
00:15:20We don't pray to the heavens, we just talk to the stars
00:15:23Hard life, every step feel close to the grave
00:15:26Only love we ever knew was the strength to stay brave
00:15:28Hard life, every corner a grave or a cell
00:15:31But we still chase hope, even livin' in hell
00:15:34Hard life, ghetto scriptures carved in the streets
00:15:36Every rhyme that I spit is my heart on the beat
00:15:39Nah, we livin' crazy ass times
00:15:44How can you ask me, who do I believe in?
00:15:46Half of your mother believe in money
00:15:49Believe in a system that got you workin' nine to five
00:15:51Just for the next man to get rich off your work
00:15:54Enter the holy horse, bow down on your knees
00:15:57And pray for them to find you worthy of alone
00:15:59Shit
00:16:00See the pain in my walk, feel the weight in my voice
00:16:04Ain't no easy way out, had to die for my choice
00:16:07Put my soul on these beats, let the truth unfold
00:16:10Where the young die young, and the old die cold
00:16:12Taught to fight for respect, never beg for love
00:16:15Only God knows pain when you race by thugs
00:16:18Every homie got a grave, every name got a song
00:16:20Every hour got a war, every night feel long
00:16:23Let the drown in the hurt, smoke cover the fear
00:16:25But the night man stay, every time death near
00:16:28Lost brothers to the steel, lost hope to the game
00:16:31All this blood on my hands, still I doubt with no shames
00:16:34How my story through the cracks in this pagan stone
00:16:36Where the struggle with my name, and my pain got shown
00:16:39Tales from the trenches, life cut too short
00:16:41Where my spirit live forever through these street reports
00:16:44Streets still bleedin', my heart stay cold
00:16:48Another body droppin', another story untold
00:16:50Pray for the lost souls trapped in the night
00:16:53Where the sun never shines and we live by the fight
00:16:56Ghetto dreams, shattered tears, tryin' to block
00:16:58Every breath feels stolen, every clock
00:17:00Takin' shots, ain't obese where I'm from
00:17:02Only warm in the air, but I'm still standin' strong
00:17:04Cause life ain't fair
00:17:06Every bone I turn, it's gettin' harder than five million faces
00:17:10My people are gettin' slaughtered by the system
00:17:12Keepin' us locked up in the hood
00:17:14Cops patrollin', now we stuck in the hood
00:17:16Never had a chance to grow old, I hope so
00:17:19Dreamin' to gettin' sex in the world that it's so cold
00:17:22How can we bloom in the room with our sunlight
00:17:24Givin' us faith in the base to raise our sun's rocks
00:17:27Damn, it should never have to be this way
00:17:29Kids killin' kids, and I never thought I'd see the day
00:17:32It's hard to keep the faith when everybody's dying
00:17:35What's these are trying if I can't change my folks?
00:17:38They keep their eyes close to a struggle
00:17:40Long as the champagne bubbles they never see a trouble
00:17:43So we gotta make the best of what we got
00:17:45Cause our kids really need us on the block
00:17:48Streets still bleedin', my heart stay cold
00:17:51Another body dribbin' on a story untold
00:17:54Pray for the lost souls trapped in the night
00:17:56Where the sun never shines and we live by the fight
00:17:59Ghetto dreams shattered tears tryin' to block
00:18:01Every breath feels stolen, every clock
00:18:03Tickin' shots ain't obese where I'm from
00:18:05Only warm in the air, but I'm still standin' strong
00:18:08Cause life ain't fair
00:18:09Smoke the coke but sellin' pain, nonsenses
00:18:12AK-47 make it scary chumps
00:18:14Break that street, soaked in blood
00:18:16So spilled with slugs
00:18:17Bustin' steady fuck, got no laws for scrubs
00:18:20Smacking like I'm on the road, nigga
00:18:22Even though feelin' to old nigga
00:18:24You're one of, I be smokin' ya
00:18:26Chokin' blood, I get some quick-take
00:18:28The jewelry, stash the Uzi, and then dip
00:18:30Splittin' wings ain't no thang to me
00:18:32A cold heart of all guard this game
00:18:34We're tryin' to maintain just one thing
00:18:37Bang, been changed since the 90s
00:18:39Watched the beat, left the street like behind me
00:18:42You couldn't feel me, still sippin' on Remy
00:18:44Mackin' on hoes, deckin' the door more than 20
00:18:47Years since I left, comin' back to collect your death charms
00:18:50This is life after death, y'all
00:18:52The streets still bleedin'
00:18:54My heart stay cold
00:18:55Another body dribbin' on a story untold
00:18:58Pray for the lost souls trapped in the night
00:19:00Where the sun never shines and we live by the fight
00:19:03Ghetto dreams shattered tears trying to block
00:19:05Every breath feels stolen, every clock
00:19:07Tickin' shots ain't no beast where I'm from
00:19:09Only warm in the air, but I'm still standin' strong
00:19:12Cause life ain't fair
00:19:13Love in the system, just the coldest lies
00:19:16Ghetto wavy scene, hell through a child's eyes
00:19:19Funeral suits and tears flood the avenue
00:19:21While the rich count cash with no gratitude
00:19:24Tales of survival written in this skin
00:19:26With a strong move, silent in the weak cave in
00:19:29No dreams for the model, just the fight for breath
00:19:32Every step on this block might step to death
00:19:34Streets still bleedin' my heart stay cold
00:19:37Another body dribbin' on a story untold
00:19:40Pray for the lost souls trapped in the night
00:19:43Where the sun never shines and we live by the fight
00:19:46Ghetto dreams shattered tears trying to block
00:19:53Every breath feels stolen, every clock
00:19:55Tickin' shots ain't no beast where I'm from
00:19:57Only warm in the air, but I'm still standin' strong
00:20:00Cause life ain't fair
00:20:01Born into war zone, concrete my cradle
00:20:15Mama's soul dreams, but reality fatal
00:20:18Windows boarded up, hope shattered like glass
00:20:21Young souls trying to hustle a survival move fast
00:20:24Siren ulibis, death creepin' in silence
00:20:26Every block a battleground, every breath is defiance
00:20:29My brother caught a case, my sister caught a habit
00:20:32This life cold-blooded, but we still gotta have it
00:20:34Got your bullets like blessings sprayin' under the moon
00:20:37Street lights flickin' like life gone too soon
00:20:40They tell me dream big, but I'm stuck in this trench
00:20:42With an air smell of liquor, gunpowder, and stitch
00:20:45Ain't no angels on these streets, just devils in disguise
00:20:48If I die before I wait, Lord, open my eyes
00:20:51Forgive me for my sins, I'm a product of my block
00:20:54Where the future get erased by the sound of a block?
00:20:57Tears on the pavement, blood in the rain
00:21:00Ghetto lullabies full of song of pain
00:21:02Still I rise, even when the world cold
00:21:05Ghetto scorched from my heart, let it glow
00:21:08Tears on the pavement, blood in the rain
00:21:10Every loss is a lesson carved deep in my brain
00:21:13Still I rise, even when the world cold
00:21:16Can't take my soul, my story don't be told
00:21:19They love to see us suffer, they hate to see us grow
00:21:22System built to bury dreams, still I glow
00:21:24My homie do it twenty-five, judge smiled in his face
00:21:27Another black light vanished without a trace
00:21:30I walk with ghosts now, memories my chain
00:21:32Every tattoo got a story, every scar got a name
00:21:35The preachers say pray, but my stomach still starving
00:21:38Can't feed faith to my seed, so I'm back to robin'
00:21:41Friends turn to foes when that hunger hit deep
00:21:43Love turn to murder when that envy don't sleep
00:21:46But I'm built like cotton, pain in my veins
00:21:49Even if they kill me, my spirit remains
00:21:52Tears on the pavement, blood in the rain
00:21:55Ghetto lullabies full of sorrow pain
00:21:57Still I rise, even when the world cold
00:22:00Ghetto stories from my heart made of gold
00:22:03Tears on the pavement, blood in the rain
00:22:05Every loss is a lesson carved deep in my brain
00:22:08Still I rise, even when the world cold
00:22:11Can't take my soul, our story gon' be told
00:22:14They never knew our story, but they just label us thugs
00:22:16But every bullet got a story, every trigger got love
00:22:19We was kings into makin' royalty in the dirt
00:22:22But they only see the danger, never see the hurt
00:22:25I cried for my mama, I bled for my hood
00:22:28Tried to make peace, but they misunderstood
00:22:30This ain't life, it's survival, prisoner brain
00:22:33But I swear on my soul, my son will be a slave
00:22:36They killin' our future, been blaming the youth
00:22:39But truth buried deep, so we die for the truth
00:22:41Ghetto gospel on my lips till my casket close
00:22:44Even in my death, our voice gon' expose
00:22:47Even in my death, our voice gon' expose
00:22:51I was born in the dirt, baptized in lead
00:23:18Mama screamed at the sky, but God played dead
00:23:21Empty fridge, cold nights, rats feast on crumbs
00:23:24Gunshots, the only music ground from
00:23:26Hope got smoked like a blunt last night
00:23:29My homie's mama got the collar, baby lost his fight
00:23:32Candles on the curb, blood stains on the ground
00:23:35We pray for peace, but silence the only sound
00:23:37Every dollar we touch, got a price in pain
00:23:40Every breath that we breathe, got poison veins
00:23:42Ain't no fathers, just ghosts with liquor breath
00:23:45The hood raise you fast, all we know is death
00:23:48Tears dry quick when the heart turns stone
00:23:51Ain't no childhood here, just flesh and bone
00:23:53Either hustle or die, either kill or be prey
00:23:56The ghetto God rules, disobey you lay
00:23:58Life in the ghetto, ain't no say he's here
00:24:01Just murder and drugs and mothers in fear
00:24:04Every prayer hit the sky and falls back in blood
00:24:07Angels left long ago, now demons my plug
00:24:09Life in the ghetto, every step my last
00:24:12Every friend a ghost, every dream gets smashed
00:24:15No sunrise here, just smoke and screams
00:24:17The ghetto stole my soul, now I bleed these dreams
00:24:20My brother died hungry with his ribs in sight
00:24:23They found him face down, needle clutched too tight
00:24:25Cops came laughing like his life was a joke
00:24:28I just told then left, now his mama stayed broke
00:24:31The court is my school, the dealer's my priest
00:24:33Every lesson is war, every prayer is deceased
00:24:36Hope don't let here, we buried that tune next to the dreams we once had back in 92
00:24:41They said we free, the chains still strong
00:24:44They just swapped out whips for the prison they own
00:24:46They flood the block with poison, watches decay
00:24:49Then blame us for dying the American way
00:24:52Every step's a gamble, every word could kill
00:24:54Every handshake fake, every smile ain't real
00:24:57So I keep my head low, pray death come fast
00:25:00Cause life in the ghetto ain't meant to last
00:25:03Life in the ghetto ain't no say he's here
00:25:05Just murder and drugs and mothers in fear
00:25:08Every prayer hit the sky and falls back in blood
00:25:11Angels left long ago, now demons my plug
00:25:13Life in the ghetto, every step my last
00:25:16Every friend the ghost, every dream gets smashed
00:25:19No sunrise here, just smoking screams
00:25:21The girls stole my soul, now I bleed these dreams
00:25:24Bulletproof heart, but my mind still break
00:25:27Smile through pain till my soul can't fake
00:25:29Born to lose, baptized in flames
00:25:32Caught my name in the dirt, now death knows my name
00:25:35Tell Pac I'm coming, Satan you see
00:25:37Life in the ghetto cut deep in my meat
00:25:40No heaven for us, just hell or repeat
00:25:42So I die like I live both fists in the street
00:25:45The memories fade, but you can hear them in the wind
00:25:55The memories fade, but you can hear them in the wind
00:26:09A sad smile on my face when I pass by your grave
00:26:13We lost so many souls for dumb shit
00:26:15Redone the fights, got a brother locked up for life
00:26:18I can barely look your sign in the eyes
00:26:20Cause when I see them, I have to face the simple fact that you would never meet them
00:26:24There's so much pain that we have to face
00:26:26But I know you've been waiting for me at the gates
00:26:29With a bottle of O's, surrounded by OGs
00:26:32And Timps and Dungarees for keeping it low-key
00:26:34Homie, mama told me that we dates like this
00:26:37Not yet a father, but hope that I can raise my kid
00:26:40To be a better man
00:26:41I try to deal a better hand
00:26:43Then I'm in doubt, then I'm hoping you can understand
00:26:46The jobs in this wicked end are ever changing
00:26:49But my block stays the same
00:26:50Streetlights pick up where the lost souls roam
00:26:53Mama's praying for their babies, but they don't come home
00:26:56Bullet shells echo names, carved in stone
00:26:59Ain't no love in the ghetto, just the world so cold
00:27:02Dreams turn to ashes, whole phase in the night
00:27:04Showed he had a vision, but he died in a fight
00:27:07Ain't no second chances when you live by the cold
00:27:10Ain't no ride or you die, man, that story gets sold
00:27:13All I need is the chronic to get my head straight
00:27:16Fag G's second up, but I'ma leave him sketch straight
00:27:18Throw up the dirt pack, water up, low blow
00:27:21And I'd smoke for the homies above and take your toe
00:27:23This is for the bees and the seas when the streets curls
00:27:27Your niggas raising hell the same way that we was
00:27:29So I'm breathing my heater right by my bedside
00:27:32Fully loaded lockers, they stop me at a rad light
00:27:35Up in the world wide, then we're getting had by some bad bitches
00:27:38Popping Earl and copper stacks, I'm a mad blood
00:27:41These olds wanna serve a nigga

00:27:48New whip, I just got me another damn red bandstick
00:27:51Sitting on the rooftop, smoking, getting high
00:27:53While these other niggas barely getting by on the west side
00:27:56Big street lights, fickle where the lost souls roam
00:27:59Mamas praying for they babies, but they don't come home

00:29:02Street lights, pick up where the lost souls roam

00:29:13Dreams turn to ashes, whole phase in the night

00:29:32Got the clock for anybody that can bitch, man
00:29:35On the block, binning corners, I'm benevolent
00:29:37So if they walk up, I'm gonna turn them into corners
00:29:40Quick shots through the head, they be droppin'
00:29:42Poppin' like them new kids ever since Hobson
00:29:45These beggars prep like they got thick in their mouth
00:29:48Missin' their fathers, once left them, they be spittin' it out
00:29:51There ain't no doubt that the new cats run from the door
00:29:53But I've been lightin' up trees for as long as I can walk, nigga
00:29:57And I survive for my set, I die for my set
00:30:00Still blowin' up smoke for the West

00:30:31Alcoholics know when the time remains sober
00:30:34I need a clear head looking at these pumps and threats
00:30:37I can't comprehend how did it end like this
00:30:40Niggas gettin' rich over bullshit
00:30:42Don't confuse if they wanna label it as music
00:30:45Refuser to the seeds to subject you need
00:30:48To the end of street schemes, try to check who I be
00:30:50I could never let them leave
00:30:52Put that vest on my chest and be ready to show them
00:30:55That they can beat if they're coming for my shit
00:30:57Light them up like piss
00:30:59Niggas didn't think they would be dying in the ditch
00:31:01What they do when they run up?
00:31:03I'ma put my gun up
00:31:04Fuckin' the deaths, that's the beginning of my club
00:31:07I'm a motherfuckin' fool for mine, so get dirty
00:31:10Except to me, you're dying, nigga, you run me
00:31:12Street lights pick up where the lost souls roam
00:31:15Mama's prayin' for their babies, but they don't come home
00:31:18Bullet shells, echo names, caught the stone
00:31:20Ain't no love in the ghetto, just the world so cold
00:31:23Dreams turn to ashes, whole phase in the night
00:31:26Showed he had a vision, but he died in a fight

00:31:31Ain't no ride or you die, man, that story gets sold
00:31:34You might be gone, but you're not forgotten
00:31:39Yeah
00:31:41You might be gone, but you're not forgotten
00:31:45They say out of sight, out of mind
00:31:46Show your tattoo on my arm, I have to renew
00:31:48To put back the dark in the ink
00:31:50Sharp in the contrast, dark comp is hard
00:31:52I have the art sparkling again
00:31:53I'm the picture dog tag
00:31:55And I think of all the things I miss
00:31:56All sorts of mischief we get in
00:31:58By throwin' caution to the wind
00:31:59Crank calls, refrang, talk and all that shtick
00:32:01How many people must've thought you were sick in a noggin'
00:32:04And I'm not gonna lie, they might've been off to some sht
00:32:06You, me, and Todd shootin' off a whole clip of a naked 47
00:32:10At 11 years old, I would handle a cold
00:32:1245 when we were 7 or so
00:32:14Targeting biz, despite the weapons
00:32:16I guess my Nelson really wasn't equipped to be watchin' our fics
00:32:19In hindsight, I think it's quite remarkable
00:32:21As kids, we didn't shoot off our own dicks
00:32:23But it was you who introduced me to rap
00:32:25The breakfast record had me involved in the get-go
00:32:27So know that I owe you all of this sht
00:32:29I was goin' nowhere, and way before that I got
00:32:32Dre to turn it over, and made me blow to the top
00:32:34You loaded your shotgun, cocked one, turned it over
00:32:36And took the fatal blow to the top
00:32:38Damn, got the call of Kenneth with his damn accursed nose
00:32:41Now I'm still confused, as of first I wouldn't register
00:32:43But as it were, I drooped and fell to my knees
00:32:45And then a manic breath, so through
00:32:47The phone is decided to search us through
00:32:48And sat there with this, that's a word or two
00:32:50Out in one of rapper, yeah
00:32:52Just about to turn into a half-wit hermit tune
00:32:54It might've been burden-proof, hadn't been here
00:32:56So here's the hope for Ronnie
00:32:57And Grandma, I'm so sorry, but that is funeral
00:33:00I hope you haven't took my route
00:33:01Absence personal, I wasn't out there hurting you
00:33:03Cause I'll always be at his service
00:33:05Just know that I like the courage
00:33:06To also be at his service too
00:33:08I don't have a good excuse
00:33:09I was 19 and wanted to remember Ronnie
00:33:11Not in some box, but that's the person who I did
00:33:14Actually grew up with
00:33:15The kid that I learned to do
00:33:16Tape recordings with two cassette decks loop
00:33:18And the tracking with that had his verses do
00:33:20And it still happens early to
00:33:21I was glad to work with you, though you do bad shit
00:33:24Crab like burn into the ground
00:33:25Grandma's house, I have his hamster put into a microwave
00:33:28But know that this life was made
00:33:29A cap of urinal, cause you had endured abuse
00:33:31Rather early to, I've seen it step that hurdle you
00:33:33Off the stairs and whip your ass so bad
00:33:35The Irish person would've been acting about a nursing room
00:33:37And that is just the crap I had observed them do
00:33:39So just imagine what happened after they had the curtains
00:33:42Droofed, it is my esophagus
00:33:44Tightens up when I'm reminded of
00:33:45The nights of watching the break it take
00:33:47But you and I vibe along with it
00:33:48Those times I'll always miss
00:33:49Lying on the living room's floors
00:33:51Both of my applause
00:33:52A fix of the DVC at times I saw it
00:33:54If my line would start to drift
00:33:55I would punish it
00:33:56Like if I just talk with him
00:33:58Could I have caused a rip?
00:33:59Would I have fought for this?
00:34:00Rather call it quits
00:34:01If I'll offer it
00:34:02Could I have fought for it?
00:34:02Could I have done different?
00:34:04I don't think so
00:34:04Cause Einstein had posited
00:34:06That God does not just sit and play dice
00:34:08The logic says it's all cause and effect
00:34:09So the question of
00:34:10Whose fault is the best?
00:34:12A non sequidur
00:34:13But let's pause for a second I set
00:34:14To stop
00:34:15Are you free to will with your will?
00:34:16Or do your thoughts instead?
00:34:17Pop up with that
00:34:18I got you for signing off with it
00:34:19The undermining on the line
00:34:21Microcosmine
00:34:22Or hatched
00:34:22It's either a terminal or random
00:34:24But neither offer this
00:34:25Since if I ain't off the shelf
00:34:26And I'm the prime apologist
00:34:28With child automatons
00:34:29The proper solemnness
00:34:30Have one feeling more alone
00:34:31Than a hypersolidist
00:34:32And an uncontrolled
00:34:33Hot wild dog would piss
00:34:35Anyone off
00:34:35Let alone my Uncle Clyde
00:34:37Who then went on
00:34:38To off himself
00:34:38On my birthday
00:34:39Just after he served
00:34:40They kids in prison
00:34:41And to this day
00:34:41I'm still at a loss of it
00:34:43Not a bad guy
00:34:44Just put out the wrong cards against
00:34:45Cause we off the beat
00:34:46Got addicted to fast cash
00:34:48The fuel and the booze
00:34:49Another shooting in the school
00:34:50And it's been ruling the news
00:34:51I've been losing my head
00:34:52Thinking of race
00:34:53Out of race
00:34:54My people out of poverty
00:34:56Encourage their faith
00:34:56I cannot carry on
00:34:58Running up the hill
00:34:59To get smacked down
00:35:00By the same hands
00:35:00I used to feel
00:35:01On my back
00:35:02How can we achieve peace
00:35:03When all they receive grief
00:35:05Coming from the top
00:35:06No love for my deceased
00:35:07Peace
00:35:08Pitfalls
00:35:09Down faces
00:35:09I'm writing with the blood
00:35:11On my homies
00:35:11So they can never erase
00:35:12As a soldier
00:35:13Can I die?
00:35:14We struck the brain
00:35:15And we multiply
00:35:16How could we try to change
00:35:17If we barely getting by?
00:35:18This last life
00:35:19Is taking a toll
00:35:20On our minds
00:35:21Criminal times
00:35:22Niggas in search
00:35:22For the divine day
00:35:24Lord
00:35:24Can you guide the way?
00:35:25I can't see
00:35:26Sometimes it's hard to believe
00:35:28Feel me
00:35:29Woke up to Cyrus
00:35:40Mama crying
00:35:41Rent overdue
00:35:42Another day
00:35:43Another struggle
00:35:44Gotta see it through
00:35:45Streets talking
00:35:46Lost homies
00:35:46Names carved in stone
00:35:48Trying to make it out alive
00:35:49But I'm all alone
00:35:50System bread
00:35:51Got us trapped
00:35:52Like we born to fail
00:35:53Handcuffs tight
00:35:54Another young king in jail
00:35:56Dream shattered
00:35:56Baby mama
00:35:57Working two ships
00:35:58Government
00:35:59Don't care
00:36:00Just stacking their chips
00:36:01Empty fridge
00:36:02But my little bro
00:36:03Still gotta eat
00:36:04So I hustle late nights
00:36:05Dodging feds in the street
00:36:06Pain deep
00:36:07But I keep my head to the sky
00:36:09They want me dead or broke
00:36:10I refuse to comply
00:36:12Gunshots echo
00:36:13Another life lost today
00:36:14Ain't no justice
00:36:15When they see us
00:36:16As a price to pay
00:36:17But I keep pushing
00:36:18Scars tell a real story
00:36:20Through the blood
00:36:20Sweat
00:36:21Tears
00:36:21I'm still searching for glory
00:36:23Hard times never last
00:36:24Gotta hold on
00:36:26Through the rain
00:36:26Through the pain
00:36:27Gotta stay strong
00:36:28Life rough
00:36:29But a soldier never backs down
00:36:31Keep fighting
00:36:32Till we make it past the battleground
00:36:34No love in these streets
00:36:35Just death in the cold
00:36:36But I know that my heart
00:36:38Made of platinum and gold
00:36:39Keep the faith
00:36:40Even when the world
00:36:41Do you run
00:36:41Real ones never break
00:36:43We just hustle and go on
00:36:44Grandma told me
00:36:45Son don't let the world
00:36:46Take your soul
00:36:47But this weight on my back
00:36:48Got me losing control
00:36:50Seen too many homies
00:36:51Laid up
00:36:51Covered in sheets
00:36:52Dying young
00:36:53Never seeing what it's like
00:36:54To succeed
00:36:55Police pull me over
00:36:56Hand on they glock
00:36:57Just another black face
00:36:58In the world
00:36:59I forgot
00:37:00No job
00:37:00So my homies
00:37:01Pushin' work to survive
00:37:02Judge quit to lock em up
00:37:04Barely 25
00:37:05Politicians speak lies
00:37:06They ain't walkin' my path
00:37:08Where they at
00:37:08When my people
00:37:09Starvin' do the math
00:37:10Still I rise
00:37:11Like Pac
00:37:12Said before me
00:37:12Keep my name in the wind
00:37:14Never lettin' them ignore me
00:37:15Pray for better days
00:37:17Tryna rewrite fate
00:37:18Can't let my brothers
00:37:19Die young
00:37:20In this cycle of hate
00:37:21So I spit this truth
00:37:22Hope it echoes through time
00:37:24Even when I'm gone
00:37:25Let my words still shine
00:37:27Hard times never last
00:37:28Gotta hold on
00:37:30Through the rain
00:37:30Through the pain
00:37:31Gotta stay strong
00:37:32Life rough
00:37:33But a soldier
00:37:34Never backs down
00:37:35Keep fightin'
00:37:36Till we make it
00:37:36Past the battleground
00:37:38No love in the streets
00:37:39Just death in the cold
00:37:40But I know
00:37:41That my heart
00:37:42Made a platinum of gold

00:37:48In the dark
00:37:48I keep watchin'
00:37:49For the lost
00:37:50Souls
00:37:50Every tear
00:37:51At the scar
00:37:52Let the truth
00:37:52Get torn
00:37:53I ain't stoppin'
00:37:54I'm to pull
00:37:54The force
00:37:55To smoke the ride
00:37:56Turn the pain
00:37:57And I'm pat
00:37:57While alive
00:37:58I survive
00:37:59Through the dark
00:38:10I keep watchin'
00:38:10For the lost
00:38:11Souls
00:38:12Every tear
00:38:12Every start
00:38:13Let the truth
00:38:14Be told
00:38:14I ain't stoppin'
00:38:15I was built
00:38:16For the stormy ride

00:38:18And the power
00:38:18I'm alive
00:38:19I survive
00:38:20Walk up in the war zone
00:38:34Life ain't fair
00:38:35Where the weak don't last
00:38:36And the strong don't care
00:38:37Lost souls on the corner
00:38:39Hands clutching the pipe
00:38:40Tryna numb all the pain
00:38:41Just to make it through the night
00:38:42See my brother lay stiff
00:38:44With a tag on his toe
00:38:45Mama scream to the sky
00:38:46But the Lord moves slow
00:38:48Ain't no justice in the system
00:38:49Just a grave or a cell
00:38:50Tryna climb out the fire
00:38:52But they pull me back to hell
00:38:53I was raised by the struggle
00:38:54Talk pain by the streets
00:38:56Where the love turned fake
00:38:57In the real
00:38:58Get deceased
00:38:58Ain't no silver spoon here
00:38:59Just some roaches and rats
00:39:01Had to get it how I live
00:39:02Ain't no lookin' on back
00:39:03Every night close my eyes
00:39:05But the ghosts still talk
00:39:06Hear the voices of the lost
00:39:07When I walk through the block
00:39:09Every scar got a story
00:39:10Every tear got a cost
00:39:11But I ain't foe
00:39:12Still standin' for the ones
00:39:13That we lost
00:39:14Still I rise
00:39:15Still I fight
00:39:16Never lay down
00:39:17Even when they put me under
00:39:18I'ma break ground
00:39:19Still I walk through the fire
00:39:21With my head high
00:39:22If I die
00:39:23Let them know
00:39:24That I live right
00:39:25Ain't no fear in my soul
00:39:26Ain't no quit in my heart
00:39:28Even when the world dark
00:39:29I'ma shine like a spark
00:39:30Still I rise
00:39:31Still I push
00:39:32Still I cry
00:39:33Even with the odds stacked
00:39:34I'ma take what's mine
00:39:35See me make it
00:39:36Wanna see me in chains
00:39:37Wanna see me in a box
00:39:39With a hole in my brain
00:39:40Wanna see my mama cry
00:39:41Wanna break my soul
00:39:43Wanna kill every dream
00:39:44Just to keep control
00:39:45But I ain't built to be weak
00:39:46Ain't no fear in my veins
00:39:48Every loss made me stronger
00:39:49Every tear brought change
00:39:50I done bled
00:39:51I done suffered
00:39:52I done fought through the worst
00:39:53I done stared death down
00:39:54Told that reaper do his worst
00:39:56Now I'm walkin' with the weight
00:39:57Of a thousand lost souls
00:39:58With a heart made of steel
00:40:00And a mind full of gold
00:40:01Ain't no chains on my wrist
00:40:02Ain't no slave to the pain
00:40:03I was born for the fight
00:40:05I'ma dance in the flames
00:40:06Tell them bury me a legend
00:40:07If I fall in the war
00:40:09But I ain't leave until
00:40:10I even up the score
00:40:11Through the mud
00:40:12Through the rain
00:40:13Still I hold my ground

00:40:14But they never finna break me down
00:40:16Still I rise
00:40:18Still I fight
00:40:18Never lay down
00:40:19Even when they put me under
00:40:21I'ma break ground
00:40:22Still I walk through the fire
00:40:24With my head high

00:40:38They can hate
00:40:39They can fight
00:40:39They can try to divide
00:40:40But I was built from the ashes
00:40:42I refuse to hide
00:40:43Ain't no breaks
00:40:44Ain't no fear
00:40:45Ain't no end to the fight
00:40:46I'ma stand till I'm ass
00:40:47I would die for what's right
00:40:48They did hate
00:40:59They could block
00:41:00Get the tribe to divide
00:41:01But I was proved
00:41:02For the actions
00:41:03I was snooze the odds
00:41:04Ain't bracing
00:41:05I fear
00:41:05Ain't no way to the fight
00:41:07I'm the stash
00:41:07In my last
00:41:08I'ma die for what's right
00:41:09I came up
00:41:22Where the sun don't shine
00:41:24Only sirens
00:41:25Where the week don't last
00:41:27Need a fight
00:41:27I stay silent
00:41:28Death on the corner
00:41:29Yeah it's part of the game
00:41:30You either pull the trigger
00:41:32Or you end up in chains
00:41:33No love in the city
00:41:35When the money run low
00:41:36Everybody turn snake
00:41:38Man that's all I know
00:41:39They don't wanna see you rise
00:41:40They just wanna see you bleed
00:41:42So I keep a full clip
00:41:43For the ones who deceive
00:41:45I lost too many
00:41:46Ain't no time for no tears
00:41:47We been fighting for our lives
00:41:48For too many damn years
00:41:50They tell us they ain't humble
00:41:51But they never live broke
00:41:52They ain't seen mama cry
00:41:54When the rent came close
00:41:55Blood on my hands
00:41:57But I did what I had to
00:41:58Grew up with the wolves
00:41:59Now my heart beats savage
00:42:00Trying to run from the past
00:42:02But to stay in my mind
00:42:03Ain't no way out
00:42:05Only death for doing time
00:42:06Ain't no way out
00:42:06No peace
00:42:07No rest
00:42:08Every step I take
00:42:09Got the devil on my chest
00:42:11Bullets in the air
00:42:12Death lurking in the night
00:42:13We don't pray for better days
00:42:14We just pray to survive
00:42:16Ain't no way out
00:42:17Locked in this cage
00:42:19Raised in the fire
00:42:20Now my soul full of rage
00:42:21Trying to break free
00:42:22But the pain too deep
00:42:24Ain't no love in the streets
00:42:25Only blood when we bleed
00:42:27Wars on living
00:42:28I ain't never had a choice
00:42:29Learn to make moves
00:42:31With a blade and a voice
00:42:32Everything I got
00:42:33Had to take with force
00:42:34They don't give us no options
00:42:36Just to sell our corpse
00:42:37Cops wanna lock us
00:42:39Ops wanna drop us
00:42:40Pray to God
00:42:40But it's hard
00:42:41When the world full of monsters
00:42:43I done seen best friends
00:42:44Turn into snakes
00:42:45I done seen blood spill
00:42:46Over dollars and weight
00:42:48Ain't no fair fights
00:42:49When you living in hell
00:42:50Every move that you make
00:42:52Put your soul up for sale
00:42:53Trust nobody
00:42:54That's the code that we keep
00:42:56Cause the moment you slip
00:42:57They gon' put you six feet
00:42:58I'm a soldier, a beast
00:43:00Product of the struggle
00:43:01Built for the war
00:43:02Every scar is a muscle
00:43:04Tired of the pain
00:43:05But the fires still burn
00:43:07If I die in this fight
00:43:08Let them know what I learned
00:43:09Ain't no way out
00:43:10No peace, no rest
00:43:12Every step I take
00:43:13Got the devil on my chest
00:43:15Bullets in the air
00:43:16Death lurking in the night
00:43:17We don't pray for better days
00:43:18We just pray to survive
00:43:20Ain't no way out
00:43:21Locked in this cage
00:43:23Raised in the fire
00:43:24Now my soul full of rage
00:43:25Try to break free
00:43:26But the pain too deep
00:43:28Ain't no love in the streets
00:43:29Only blood when we bleed
00:43:31I came from the gutter
00:43:43Where the hope run dry
00:43:44Where the pain hit deep
00:43:46And the real ones die
00:43:47Where the sirens sing
00:43:48Like a song in the night
00:43:50What a strong
00:43:50Gotta fight
00:43:51Just to hold on tight
00:43:52Ain't no silver spoons here
00:43:54Just hunger and stress
00:43:55Had to battle every demon
00:43:56Just to give it my best
00:43:58They told me I would never make it
00:43:59Never go far
00:44:01Now I'm standing at the top
00:44:02Still repping my scars
00:44:03Every tear that I shed
00:44:05Turned to fuel in my veins
00:44:06Every loss that I took
00:44:07Made me break from the chains
00:44:09Now I walk like a king
00:44:10I don't bow
00:44:11I don't crawl
00:44:11Took the weight of the world
00:44:13And I carry it all
00:44:14I ain't built to be weak
00:44:16I ain't made to retreat
00:44:17Every step that I take
00:44:18Got the sound of defeat
00:44:20For the ones in the dark
00:44:21For the ones in the cold
00:44:22I'ma shine like a light

00:46:49In a chalked out zone
00:46:50Mama working double shifts
00:46:51Still can't own a home
00:46:53Pop's gone
00:46:53Judge through them
00:46:54Twenty with no bail
00:46:55System built to see us

00:46:59Now I'm moved with the beast
00:47:01See the robber get robbed
00:47:02Ain't no love in these streets
00:47:03See my dog catch a slug
00:47:04Left his brains on the curve
00:47:06Ain't no peace
00:47:06Just police trying to flip
00:47:08They ain't work
00:47:08Snakes in the grass
00:47:10Fest tapping the line
00:47:11Had to cut some homies off
00:47:12They ain't real like mine
00:47:13Had to grind
00:47:14Had to bleed
00:47:15Ain't no love for the weak
00:47:16Car cold like the winter
00:47:17Ain't no tears on my cheeks
00:47:19See the devil in they eyes
00:47:20When they whisper my name
00:47:21They don't want me in the light
00:47:23They just pray for my pain
00:47:24Keep a Glock in my reach
00:47:25Cause I live what I preach
00:47:27Ain't no peace for a king
00:47:28When he raised in the streets
00:47:29No mercy, no tears
00:47:31No love in the field
00:47:32Only pain, only death
00:47:33Only blood gets spilled
00:47:34Hollow tips, heavy clips
00:47:36Got no time for a truce
00:47:37When you live by the sword
00:47:38Gotta die by the truth
00:47:40No faith in the law
00:47:41They just pray that we fall
00:47:42Put my back to the wall
00:47:44I ain't trusting them all
00:47:45I was born in the dark
00:47:46I ain't fearing the fight
00:47:47If I die, let them know
00:47:49That I stood up for mine
00:47:50I was 13th
00:47:51First time I seen death
00:47:52Real close
00:47:53Body laying in the gutter
00:47:54Eyes open like a ghost
00:47:55Lost faith in the prayers
00:47:57Lost trust in the dreams
00:47:58So I ran with the wolves
00:47:59Learn to move like a fiend
00:48:01Nightmares in my mind
00:48:02Here I'm knocking the door
00:48:03If the feds kick it in
00:48:04I ain't talking no more
00:48:06Hood judge, no gavel
00:48:07Just a gun in your face
00:48:08Only two ways out
00:48:10Either coughing a case
00:48:11Ain't no love in the struggle
00:48:12Just death in the game
00:48:13Ain't no sunshine here
00:48:15Only bullets in pain
00:48:16I done cried too much
00:48:17Now my heart just numb
00:48:19Ain't no peace in my soul
00:48:20Till the war is done
00:48:21So I keep one cock
00:48:23One foot in the grave
00:48:24Every step that I take
00:48:25I be dodging the chains
00:48:27If I go, tell my mama
00:48:28That I fought to the end
00:48:29And if heaven got a gate
00:48:30Let my dogs walk in
00:48:32No mercy, no tears
00:48:33No love in the field
00:48:34Only pain, only death
00:48:36Only blood gets spilled
00:48:37Hollow tips, heavy clips
00:48:38Got no time for a truce
00:48:40When you live by the sword
00:48:41Gotta die by the truth
00:48:42No faith in the law

00:58:44On my face
00:58:45When I pass by your grave
00:58:47We lost so many souls
00:58:48For dumb shit

00:58:50Got a brother locked up for life
00:58:51I can barely look your sign in the eyes
00:58:53Cause when I see them
00:58:54I have to face the simple fact
00:58:56That you would never meet them
00:58:57There's so much pain
00:58:58That we have to face
00:58:59But I know you've been
00:59:00Waiting for me at the gates
00:59:02With a bottle of O.E
00:59:03Surrounded by OGs
00:59:05And Timps and Dungarees
00:59:06For keeping it low
00:59:07Yeah homie
00:59:08Mama told me
00:59:08There'll be days like this
00:59:10Not yet a father
00:59:10But hope that I can raise my kids
00:59:12And be a better man
00:59:13I try to deal a better hand
00:59:15Then up and down
00:59:16Then I'm hoping you can understand
00:59:18The times in this wicked
00:59:19Ain't that ever changing
00:59:21But my block stays the same
00:59:22They say out of sight
00:59:24Out of mind
00:59:24So your tattoo on my arm
00:59:26I had to renew
00:59:26To put back the dark
00:59:27And it ain't sharp
00:59:28In the contrast
00:59:29Dark comp is all
00:59:30To have the heart sparkling
00:59:31Again
00:59:31I look at your dog tag
00:59:33And I've been for all the things
00:59:34I miss all sorts of mischief
00:59:35We get in by throwing caution
00:59:36To the wind
00:59:37Then calls
00:59:37We prank talking
00:59:38All for that shit
00:59:39How many people
00:59:40Must have popped
00:59:40You were sick
00:59:41And I'm knocking
00:59:41And I'm knocking
00:59:42The lie
00:59:42They might have been off
00:59:43The subject
00:59:44You, me, and Todd
00:59:45Shooting off a whole clip
00:59:46Of a naked 47
00:59:47At 11 years old
00:59:48I would handle a cult
00:59:4945 when we were 7 or so
00:59:51Targeting vids
00:59:52Despite the weapons
00:59:53I guess I'm now saying
00:59:54Really wasn't equipped
00:59:55To be watching a six
00:59:56In hindsight
00:59:57I think it's quite remarkable
00:59:58As kicks
00:59:59We didn't shoot off
00:59:59All dicks
01:00:00But it was you
01:00:01Who introduced me
01:00:02To rap
01:00:02The reckless record
