[Verse 1] My financial description's the reason why I'm stressing But buried in riches guarantee that I'll count my blessings Born in a city of d**h were no future is promised You only got one life to live now pay it your homage Give it your best & hope that it doesn't end too quick Cause jealous n***as k** you over money or a b**h All of these women only f** with who they thought was rich So if you got a lil money they don't think you're sh** I guess I'll cheat d**h since this life ain't fair Feel like I'll never reach my dreams cause this life's a nightmare They use to tell me that money's the route of all evil Maybe that's why when I get it I stunt like I'm Knievel But for now this part time ain't paying me sh** That's why I'm in the studio working these night shifts I hear them say you going hard RuMeal you really want it That's why I'm working hard until the early morning Sometimes I feel I don't belong here [Verse 2] Everybody speak on how they think the world gon' end The way i see it that's when GOD gon' let the world begin A new day for me to be a king, live supreme Malcolm X mind state living Martin's Dream I hear them scream 2Pac back, 2Pac Back Why don't you be yourself?, that might bring hip-hop back Because it's still alive it never died It only lost it's drive cause it got tired of lies
There's something you should an*lyze in your mind This how a man speak when his soul cry Stereotyped because the color of my f**ing skin My complexion's the complexity I ain't chose to win So tell me what's the reason racism is still alive Is it the same reason Martin Luther had to die? An eye for an eye, a body for a body The warriors chant trading war stories Sometimes I feel I don't belong here [Verse 3] I can't recall a moment that I've ever been in love Just a lust of a life that a n***a lives in a rush Every girl I ever wanted gave me the cold shoulder That's why a n***a cold hearted & don't believe in sober I feel as if I'm dying to live but living to die If I don't speak from my heart I feel I'm living a lie Cause all the children aborted ain't get a chance to try & those who were left as orphans will always wonder why When I'm feeling low I get high to keep a level head Pour out some liquor for the loved ones, can't believe you're dead Couple friends turned on me, I ain't mad at you Just keep your head up don't let the devil catch you Any minute can be your last so give your best This the only life that I live & I live with regret If I don't give it all I got then I will never make it My only goal in this life is to be the greatest Sometimes I feel I don't belong here
