[Intro] [Verse 1] By now I seen the glory, the coming of the Lord Tell me is it bad I turned the channel cause I was bored Seen women at who*e there way to success Can't look at they self in the mirror cause they think they a mess And I can confess all of my demons and put them on wax When I was six a n***a hit me and I ain't him him back And I've been feeling like a b**h ever since I left the playground crying My daddy like why you ain't hit him? cause he bigger than I am Called me a punk and my momma called me the same thing Couldn't imagine the dent it left in my dang brain The same brain making A's that got them proud of me But I see they can't defend me when a n***a beat the sh** up out of me Cowardly, two timing, I see I should pursue rhyming And let them know I'm through whining And y'all can kiss my two diamonds And y'all poop licking shoe shining b**hes that want to get with me My epiphany, y'all ain't sh** to me [Hook] Life is about d**h My angel on my right and got the devil on my left They want me to do right but still they pull me to the left So I be fighting demons till I take my last breath (till I Take my last breath) I say life is about d**h I'm pushing and I'm pushing till I ain't got nothing left They want me to do right but still they pull me to the left So I be fighting demons till I take my last breath (till I take my last breath) [Verse 2] I been broke, know how to stretch it till its ample Type of n***a that make a dinner out of free samples Cause I be grabbing handfuls and running out the store Dropping cheese and crackers and crackerjacks at the door At my lowest point I was seventeen with a d**h wish Told myself I'm a off myself when I finish this breakfast Got a heart the size of Texas, but I can't seem to protect this When I catch this n***a that f**ed my girl I'm a be so reckless And again I must confess this cause I can't seem to accept this I love my momma Nia with a pa**ion But I remember being so bashed in, way back when She told me girls cheat when n***as don't handle business as men Felt like a has been, better yet a never was Did she mean to hurt me? Nah Will I forget? Never cause Everything I ever does come from being slighted Trying to get my wrongs righted, can't fight it [Hook] [Interlude] It's the power of Christ, it compels you The power of Christ compels you (x5) [Verse 3] I'm Hades, born in the 80's Or at least I see him Looking at my reflection but I don't want to be him Carpe Diem the motto but I don't think I can follow I'd rather seize me a hollow Load it and squeeze it till Tahoe And when I go to meet him I got a bone to pick Why you put me in the path of fake n***as and phony chicks Only get one life, so live it vivid Or end up livid, go get it Ain't on this planet to visit, ya dig it, ya feel me? [Hook]
