Sometimes I feel like I got a halo over my devil horns Not really knowing was worse or better for it The world turns and over time I really learn Never judge someone taking steps in shoes you've never worn So why would they judge me? Bet they couldn't walk a couple feet in my chucked T's It's been rough for me since I ain't even had front teeth Just a young buck bumping Pac and BIG While I was saying Super Nintendo Sega Genesis When I was 15, homie, I couldn't picture this I was up in the hospital without a chance to live God had plans for me, it's my chance to give Back to the fans and the kids and the people tryna do good in life All my homies pleading guilty, the case is they couldn't fight Stay strong, be positive, keep yo head up Instead of finding someone to wet up just keep yo bread up Don't wrap yo hands around that Beretta, it's all a setup I'm tryna spread the love, it's nothin' these cats can't tell us I speak for my generation, watch me open these doors Nas told me the world was mine, now I'mma show you it's yours One love! It was all a dream Uh, damn right I like the life I live 'Cause I went from negative to positive And it's all And if you don't know And if you don't know now you know, n***a Yeah, I remember, getting kicked out of my pop's house Sleepin' in my homie's Honda till I got locked out And had no where to go tryna make dough to help moms out Picked up my pen and pad and that's the second I dropped out See, I done risked it all to follow a dream they said I couldn't reach Spent the rest of my child hood running' on the streets Nah it's ironic, they called me up last week Saying' that teachers having trouble teaching they think I should give a speech, haha It's funny how that works, huh? Funny I believe in God, but not the church, huh? And it's funny how my demons get a hold of me I don't need to read the Bible, I just need to write a verse, huh? I done went through it all Sippin' 40s, little shawties, taggin' up on the walls All I really had was a heart of steel and my dirty chughs Late nights in the city, taggin' like hurry up We gotta catch the bus down beach boulevard That was before my cousin started sneakin' out granny's car Round the same time my heart first broke, that sh** changed me But help me see the difference between a trick and the lady So watch for these cats that got they eyes on yo steps They ain't holdin' you down then they just holdin' you back I'm speakin' for this generation, watch me open these doors Nas told me the world was mine, now I'mma show you it's yours One love! It was all a dream Uh, damn right I like the life I live 'Cause I went from negative to positive And it's all And if you don't know And if you don't know now you know, n***a Yeah, this song was inspired by The great words of the Notorious BIG, rest in peace Yeah, 1,2, we still sip 40 ounces And birthdays was the worst days We still sip 40 ounces when we thirsty ain't sh** changed I just had to do that one time I just had to Yeah we still sip 40 ounces when we thirsty ain't sh** changed No n***a ain't sh** changed
