Uh, you know what?
Trying to shed a little light for my people
Give some understanding about this thing we call L-I-F-E
It's valuable to me, I'm sure y'all agree, you know what?
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel like I'm looking at the world through the eyes of an old cat
Who's seen it all and just can hold back the truth
Which is not always so easy to unfold, black
When you conditioned to listen but never get told facts
Shorties play the block, probably cause the elders sold crack
So now all they want in life is some Jordans, gold cats
Thinking they grown like the old jacks
It takes a long time to mold that
You have to experience the good and evil that's in people
No one's equal, only one you, no sequel
What's right for you, may not be right for me
So what the life for you, might be trife for me
And vice-versa, so what you think of us ain't worth a
Cent or piece of lint on my PMP shirt
Music's a first love that has generated the birth of
A new circa spinning like the Earth does
A lot of cats didn't even know what the worst was
So now we have to expose the wrong just like Curt Flood
Litigate to get it straight, more love get rid of hate
Because all a man want in this world is just a bit of space
[Hook x3]
(and it's so so clear, so so clear)
J Sands on the mic, you don't stop
J Rawls on the track, you won't stop
[Verse 2]
Life can be confusing, if you not using
Common sense for dominance over life's illusions
What seem to be right, but if you look past what's in sight
You can see the real behind whatever you like
You'll say: (and it's so so clear)
When answers to your problems appear
I spent twenty plus years just evolving with peers
Different cities and states, that's why it's all in the clear
This world can have your whole body crawling with fear
When your time's up and you feel that your calling is near
Type of sh** strongest n***a falling in tears
Tangling with the reaper is like a brawl with a bear
You can't fight it, your demise is just evolving for years
Accelerated by the stress, d**
Without belief to God, it's just a problem severe
And I know we gotta hustle to your alls in this sphere
Plus I know who's my man, it's J Rawls, and he's here
And I know without God you will never see clear
That's why
[Hook x5]
