(Verse 1) I'm half Malcolm Half Kennedy Friend Half enemy Band Half symphony Dope Put simply Half coke Half Earth Half baking soda Half a block Half a key Half the whole boulder Half slave Half king Cuz split half with a queen She f** around an split the scene With half of your cream And half of your dreams Don't believe half the sh** you see this lifetime And don't halfway believe Half the sh** you hear half the time I keep an eye open You halfway sleep I don't spit raps at you I halfway preach To you shallow motherf**as Stay halfway deep Motherf**er The Lord is my Shepard As I awaken the sheep Shallow n***az can't follow 'Cuz I'm way too deep Everybody "keeping it real" But grinning from cheek to cheek If you was really real It'll probably make you halfway weep (Hook) Is this cup half-full or half-empty? Is this clip half-full or half-empty? Is this road half-full or half-empty? Is your soul half-full or half-empty? (Verse 2) A kid dies We halfway say sh** An innocent man is put to d**h You halfway think he did it ...And what good is innocence When the world thinks you're guilty? As about good as life 'Cuz the word wants to k** me I know you n***az feel me I know you n***az see it How they wanna see me dead, broke, And defeated In no particular order As long as I'm slaughtered They say I break too many rules And cross to many borders My d**h I often thought of When I go How will I be thought of? Live long enough to die the villain Or die the martyr Will they remember me A coward or a Sparta? I could die today But you could die tomorrow People are scared to die But life is full of horror Still it's worth living Like there's no tomorrow Try to minimize all the jealousy and envy Cause you could have a million bucks And STILL be half-empty (Hook)
