[Introduction]
HP 2
There's more to the story man
Take 2
[Verse 1]
Times are odd, I'm twelve years old
With this money on my mind and I ain't even got a job
Nah, I don't even need Curtis Jackson
If I'm looking for some action
My cousin could teach me how to rob
And that's word to my momma
And that 88 Olds that got stole from the yard
Now what we gon' drive?
I'm walking down Belfort just tryna stay alive
Them dudes blowing k** ask me if I want a ride
There's smoke in the air, now they're asking me to try
I tell them that I'm cool and they say that I'm alright
But if these dudes make a move on my hood I'mma ride
They looking in my eyes and they know I'm telling lies
Yeah I'm dressed like them, but they know it's a disguise
And it's good versus evil, feel like I'm picking sides
But on the inside I feel like I wanna hide
Feel like I wanna run but I'm tripping over pride, right
And I ain't really been myself here lately
It feels like the real me hates me, he wanna k** me
Kids in they cool circle degrade me
L7 no girl wants to date me, dudes wanna smoke me
They telling me church is where hope be
But I'm looking at my brotha like pa** me that rope, G
Not so I can k** me, just so you can feel me
Hunger for attention got me asking where the meal be
Sermons from my past got me saying “God heal me”
Looking in the mirror asking “Dre, are you still me?
Are you still there? Do you still care?
When you hit your knees at night is there still prayer?”
Not a whisper. Saw Destiny and missed her
Now Misses follow me like I missed her
Woke up in Calamity and reached out and kissed her
Saw my homie Purpose and I'm asking “Yo do she got a sister?”
‘Cause I'm sinking, man I'm thinking
Dude I should really stop driving and drinking
[Hook]
I know you see them baby, driving them fancy cars
Stick with my thinking baby, you stay right where you are
I promise on your soul, you'll never make it far
Make it far, you'll never make it far
Just live your life, just live your life
You'll pay the price
You're in Hell's, you're in Hell's
You're in Hell's Paradise
You're in Hell's, you're in Hell's
You're in Hell's Paradise
Hell's Paradise, Hell's Paradise, Paradise
[Verse 2]
If I am what you say I am, then I'll never leave this place
Staring at my life through the mirror
But I swear I can't stand this face
So tired, no legs, man I swear I can't stand this race
I need a break, nah I need a cape
So I could fly above the clouds
And only come down when the sun says it's safe
Feeling like Chris after Hit ‘Em Up, man I'm about to lose fate
Crying. Wait. Dying. I hope it's not too late. I hope it's not too late
Crying. Wait. Dying. I hope it's not too late. I hope it's not too late
