this music thang
im doing it for my family and my homies
im tryin to leave some cash in they pockets b4 i go
the clock is tickin,its just a matter of time.
if enemies lay me down to sleep
i pray to my lord my soul he'll keep
wen i die in this life of hate
i pray to my lord my soul he'll take
in this life of sin
god tell me were i begin
ive rejected u my whole life but now im listenin
accepted u as my friend
my heart is open hopin for a change
but im still a k**a inside
i kan feel in it my veins
aint got the strenth to rise up out this concrete battlefield
cuz i still feel the urge to k**
cuz snoop still aint got out of jail
plus my closet homeboys deceased
i gotta seek revenge
but who do i avenge
sometimes i catch myself overlookin my true friends
im tryin to see through all the lies and deceit to make
intelligant decisions that'll keep me on my feet
but evil ways make me stray and i get caught up in the same sh**
riskin my life to represent so enemies kno im dangerous
x2 livin that this g**nin done took its toll
on the outside im fine but inside im outta control
tryin to stay outta of prison but the streets pursuade my goals
wen i lay down nd die will good or evil take my soul
as im sittin in my room oilin up ma strap
im thinkin bak on all the other pistols that ive packed
all the dirt that ive done with diffrent weapons and guns
and how much fun i had wen i was young
earning my stripes one by one
they added up sin at the scene i didnt realize it then
but now i understand theres consequences for every reaction
lord kan u forgive for my sins up till today
but if i k** again tomoro does that mean u feel betrayed
cuz i knt promise u that ill do
what the bibles tells me not to
if i feel i gots to ride
im gonna ride with or without u
no disrespect intended
dnt tke me for satans child
kuz 5-0 got my dirty deeds
gathered up in the gang files
look at my loyalty
the love i got for my family
if any1 could
i kno that u wuld understand me
so wen they take my number
nd i take my final breathe nd die
pleaz forgive me 4 my sins
nd let my soul rise to the sky
x2 livin that life this g**nin done took its toll
on the outside im fine but inside im outta control
tryin to stay outta prison but the streets pursuade my goals
wen i lay down nd die will good or evill take my soul
if enemies lay me down to sleep i pray to lord my soul he'll keep
wen i die in this life of hate i pray to my lord my soul he'll take
i live another DAY
now its time to live another nite
i take it minute by minute
and hope somehow i do it rie
i gotta fite to keep hope alive
that snoop will get released
but its the red-suited beasts
that gets the blue suited police
societies got us marked
as k**ers dealers and thugs
g**ners shootin them slugs
drug dealers movin them d**
aint no love on this side of the tracks
thats why criminals run in packs
who else gonna have are muthafukin backs
u think are president aint a sinner
hes the cruelist of all
hes the one k**in the inoccent with missiles and bombs
while we just up in the street tryin to maintain human nature
that have enemies so we g**n
lord if u culd shine any lite up on this life of mine
i'd be willing to listen to u with the drop of a dime
because im suicidal at times
and at times im homicidal
livin on the borderline damper of my chances of survival
x2 livin that life this g**nin done took its toll
on the outside im fine but inside im outta control
tryin to stay outta of prison but the streets pursuade my goals
wen i laydown nd die will good or evil take my soul
lord i got a question
will u forgive for my sins even if i dnt regret them
cuz sometimes no matter how hard i try i feel no remorse
i feel i had to do wat i had to do
but then again maybe it the old-e numbin the pain
i dunno but send blackbird my love
if enemies lay me down to sleep
i pray to my lord my soul he'll keep
wen i die in this life of hate
i pray to my lord he'll take
