lyrics

INTRO]
Freestyle Friday!
A world in love, one nation under a groove (yooo)
I said that like twenty times. You know?
But y'all don't know that (yo)
(Yeah. Uh.)

[VERSE]
See I'ma live for a thousand years
See I'ma show love and encourage a thousand peers
But I failed a million times and lost a million more
Got some close friends, they laying in the morgue (damn)
When my spirit is strained, I need something for my soul
No offense, 'cause that rap shit is kind of old
I don't want to take for granted
Not another moment or a second
See I've been blessed with the present
Thank God for the gift
With every breath that I take, I'ma let my light shine
I've seen stab wombs and bullet holes
That dark side of that crime life
Trying to show my people that there's more
Than liquor, weed, and hoes
What I speak about, wrecks and oppose
Chasing centerfolds and flipping O's
My daddy use to keep the pistol and the pump
So you know he raised me not to be no fucking chump
See I'ma about to break this industry
And get my people out the street
Ain't no stopping destiny
Ain't no stopping me
Drugs took my uncle Buzzy away
I never got to see his face
My other uncle; he was stabbed in the leg
My aunt was stabbed in the back
My pop was shot two times in the face
And these two tatted tears on my cheek?
They represent the pain (facts)
Even when you don't understand, stand tall
Stay true. See I been through my shit too (for real)
Yeah I know what it feels like (sure do)
I got a date with Love
I won't live with Hate
I will keep my will to live
Can't take myself out
Like David in the Bible; I had to encourage myself (uh)
Life struggles but we wrestle through
Thank God through and through
Put that pistol down and use your intelligence to get through
Know the ink pen is stronger
Know the state pen' don't need you, but your family does
Nuggets of knowledge; take it and run
I use to rap in the basement
I use to spit that hard shit (cement)
Speaking from the heart
I just want to see my friends leave a dark lifestyle
A few of them are in it right now
Can't knock the hustle until you understand the struggle
I'm trying to focus on the good while shedding light on the bad
Oh, you're uncomfortable?
My bad. Too bad I'm not Sinbad
Maybe I should clean my act up with a Glad bag?
Nope. Shit too dirty
You can see the soil underneath the fingernails
This is for my niggas with the piff
This is for my people with the strong
This is for my niggas doing wrong
Trying to get money (I see you!) the right way
All they know is crime pays (for real)
All they know is crime pays (damn. *inaudible*)
I'm like woah
All my niggas be the fucking troupe
Hoping out the coup
Letting off the mack
Nigga it bees like that

(Okay. Okay.)
