[Verse 1: K. Sparks]
It's hard to mention see daddy die from operations...
He work ? but sadly die from complications
In moderation, I'll be sippin but it still hurt
My momma pension, it ain't enough she gotta still work, still hurt
Daddy steady workin till he ga**in, see me on the thing is never working is distraction
Thats it, see a victim coming, about to rob somebody
But I don't wanna hit the pen just like my Uncle Riley
Not at all
Life is grimey, see with a sh**ty deal, them marketing and distribution s**
How that city feel, cold as ice, take ya life
Roll the dice and pray to Christ
From a place of poverty, where kids is thinking hell is nice
Reverends cake, Heavens fake, see that's what they're thinking of, n***as steady dyin ?
What it is, what it is though
See this sh**? See this sh**?
So let the horns blow
[Verse 2: K. Sparks]
It's hard to mention, like a prison got me searching daily
A swift decision, intuition, feel I'm often crazy
My mind is self declining… I seek some peace to find it…
The hottest sh** ? perfect timin
It's my life, I feel the pain and stress, I moan and cry
Brother lost his mind a couple of years ago, he zonin out…
Strangers stopped me on the street the other day, they had a dream
Seen me in the Source ? some page up in the magazine
? you workin here, ask me if I really care
Times I feel my life a joke, ?
Full of stress, full of hate, n***as see this sh** will break
Any n***a with they sanity its like a family
Broken to the core, smoking when it's war
Hoping in the store, hoping when you're poor
Everything you got on paper… thats when you meet your maker
[Verse 3: Jayvine]
It's all good, I'm dwelling in the peaceful state of mind
But I'm hungry as hell for that american pie
Iw want this life fill my gla**… Im tryin to chase my own advice
f** the world, nobody nice, turn around, I'm back to life
Broken heart, she's on my mind, A good girl, is hard to find
So I say f** it, building my self-esteem, They can't break my pride, but still I strive
They can't take my drive, purple haze, I'm seeing purple clouds for days
I need a job, but tell me how much does it pay
I will not be a slave, won't shed my blood, sweat and tears…
Then they told me that its near, its been like 27 years…
I live stress free, but I ain't debt free, but still I'm cool like ?
Wanna eat good I got the recipe, God give you my heart get the best of me
