[Intro] Ay....hey.... 8-0-tre in the building baby.... [Verse: 2Ru3] I remember when I was looking back on my life and feeling that it was in shambles Feeling as if life was a challenge, that I just couldn't handle No matter how many times a brother try Felt as if inside that a brother was remaining in a state where he was living physically, but he spiritually died And sometimes I always wondered inside why Did it seem that as if no matter how many times That I was always known to be real and genuine For whatever reason people with me continually Kept on tripping and flipping my lyrics, flipping my words Making it seem that them I wanted to hurt And try to discourage others, but only I want to help uplift ya Encourage ya No matter what it is that you dealing with Yo true emotions please on the real don't be concealing 'em Let it out and let 'em fly Let the world know how it is on the real you really be feeling inside And if you be, feeling as if You trusting in God And He let you down, well pimpin' listen to this Go head and let him know you feel, but make sure that you do it in a sense of respect Don't be cussing and doing blasphemous thangs Cause you don't wanna be livin' in a really, blasphemous way But all I'm trying to say is you need to keep Him on your team (team) And I know you prolly be feeling as if there is h-o-p-e To continually be having cause any hope that you ever had and ever did imagine it's all gone Cause it seems that life done treated and dealt you a hand that so cold and so dirty now
Got you feeling as if whatever words of encouragement That somebody ever tried to be giving you was nothing but that run around And had you feeling as if you was really wishing there was some (gun around) So you could click it, get it and load it up and co*k it Put it up to your brain mane, let it go bang-bang mane and (pop) Then your body be dropping 6 feet deep in the ground Nobody knowing now what the, pain that you feel Ain't nobody understanding why it is that he took his life pimp Some people thinking, aw (aw), he must've been growing up kind of bad (bad) Must've been one of them kids who had a very bad dad Or a bad momma Whatever the problem They prolly thinkin' different things that have nothing to do with your constant aggravation inside Especially if you a man trying to get some grands in your hand right now Cause when you look in your child's eyes, you be like, aw I wanna feed my son (son) feed my daughter (daughter) Whatever the situation it don't matter, the fact still remains partner (partner) You feeling as if you lesser then a man Cause you got lesser than a grand in your hand And it isn't to be stunting and fronting on other brothers, but simply to show (show) Yo son and yo daughter, how it's really supposed to go (go) Cause you don't want 'em to be livin' the life you used to have And sometimes you look in they eyes, you be feeling as if they thinkin' in they mind man...... This is what it means that you is my dad (you is my dad)... Ay
