Young fellas done locked the game Some sellas done shot the 'caine Nuff breddas just want the fame Young fellas just want a name Umbrellas can't stop the rain When it pours hard Truth in the booth Might get a forecast Some refuse to choose And take the Lord's path Shank marks, bullet wounds and war scars Cats need to get focused like Ford cars As I go down memory lane Before Nas this was a state of mind Only a daily grind doing crazy crime In front of the judge facing time ... ... Mindless fools wanna shine and rule In diamond j**els Lukewarm cats think life is cool Comedians act like life is funny Like the meat they're in a black cab Time is money Life is gully You got the feeling that Pac had You got to watch out for people that backstab They got a knife in your spine True signs of the time You know your friends when your life's on a line You know the usual drama Got your mum looking for a tombstone In the funeral parlor Now you up in a hurse and boxed in a coffin Now they shovelin' dirt on top of your coffin Here today gone tomorrow like UGK To the Father we truly pray We honour Him right To the end I'm following Christ He's the reason I'm breathing Thank God I'm alive Through the struggle and the trouble I gotta survive Listen, wisdom is knowledge applied
