[Verse 1]
Damn I really gotta thank you my friend
You were the only one that cared for me till the end
And then you looked out, you came up and did time
I can't believe I almost missed you that lunch time
When I usually give you money cause you starving
Haven't had a meal in 3 days, it's just starting
It's sad to see cause you were my brother
A peaceful man with a conscience like no other
But that's life I guess in all angles, not just the positive side of it
And that's the side effects that you get, when you got a few people to protect
And that's everything I wished for had to respect
And it's funny how the world changed up
When I met that girl Louisa in the big black truck, oh what?
First thing that caught my eye was that bu*t
Shaking it around with that s**y a** lil strut
But then I saw you were alot deeper then that
One of the reasons I even started to rap
And it's crazy cause I never had respect for a woman
You changed my view when I was a part of that Sermon
And I never was religious either
Mr "I don't give a f**", just bumping that Ether,
Really deep inside I needed change I was eager
You taught me things no one else would see important
But I thank you for some things I couldn't really afford it
[Hook]
Only got one life to live, live it the best you can
Whether you a family man or a kid
Anything that comes together is a blessing, it's a blessing right
Ma its a blessing right?
[Verse 2]
Everything was fine until that lil thing happened
Outside your house when we were just rapping
I don't needa tell you anymore cause you already know
Took my keys, I started going at you, dissing you slow
Then that magic word slipped, called you a b**h and my whole world split
In like 2 pieces, can't believe I let that sh** happen at Reeses
But what the f** is there left for me to do?
It's not that easy to get my stuff and just leave
Feeling ashamed, saying goodbyes I don't believe
It had to come to this but my path was real rocky
Changed everything up, had to conceal my body
I did what was best for any person to do
I left you and picked up a book on hip hop
Interestingly enough, it got me to the top
It got me to reflecting, why I ain't half-stepping
Like Big Daddy Kane said a few years ago
Yes, we should really just f**en follow our goals
And everybody would be better off
Then be stuck in this maze, for days just really going off
f** a Molotov, I'll just throw myself in the riot
Struggle with my inner ideas I gotta be trying it
And everybody telling me how we die sometimes
But it's stupid talking about that, when you're young it flies
