First night I spent in California
I was homeless in a Venice beach
It was all a dream
came to California at seventeen
little nigga tryna bubble up from the crack scene
it got so complicated, then I graduated
haters so mad I made it
how could I fly so high only to feel so low
how do they live so fast only to grow so slow
like when you short no support for your kids
but got money for marijauna just to smoke with your friends
or that woman who survives and beats cancer
only to be drowned in debt with no answers
the frequency of tragedy it happens so rapidly
that we became numb, we embraced this insanity
some wack job hauled off and smoke his whole family
reality TV thats not based in reality
stuck watching train wrecks everybody going for self
self worth prison point but for money and wealth
this mentality of me, fuck everything else
its a virus, a disease Im a victim myself
but I swear before I leave Ima fix it I swear
Ima fix it I swear
yo you better bewareRich boy kill his own wife knocks her teeth out
cuts her fingers off than escape with a suicide
the king of pop died, Michael Vick was fighting dogs
but he walked and did his time let him throw the fucking ballAs the markers keep crashing and people get desperate
putting faith in the false feeling so disrespected
turn to this record the highest form of understanding
understand me, fight a flight for your family (come)
walk with a soldier (come)
talk with a soldier
centerblocks stop shooting straight from the shoulder
as we all get older and hope falls over
and damn you was 6 years sober
and just like that now you back were you started square one
and you cant bring it back when that bullet leave the gun
as the planet get smaller, prepare for the North American Union
an anvil to replace your dollars
narcisistic society love paparazzi
get the starbucks for your overpriced latte
ignoring all the signs, nevermind is your mindstate
until the end of time, shit is closer than you think man.[Trick Trick:]
Ive done been in situations where the only thing that I can do is read the Bible
went to the [?] where a piece of metal the only way of survival
made up my mind that I dont ever want to return
chance was given again now Im back out in the World
made a promise to God but living in sin
I can never lie to God but its so hard to live right
Im carrying 7 point 62s to fist fights
aint nobody playing fair they cheat no cheat
way finna be the topic for the preachers Eulogy speaking
the word say "turn the other cheek" thats what they teach us
but Peter sliced the ear off a nigga rollin on Jesus
I dont wanna pause Im doing what Im supposed to do
Im a real nigga one from a million chosen few
everlasting pain has got my brain like its trapped inside a maze
have you been unfaithful to the game (damn shame)
18 years you never beleived him thats yo son
go and see him muthafucker
you fucked his mother
the God Damn common courtesy never applied to you
cause you thought she lied to you
you couldnt see your own mother in his face
if you die hell be in a better place
bring the tape back
