Look, mind state of a gangster from the 40's

Meet the vicious mind of Motown's Berry Gordy

Frank Sinatra having dinner with the Genovese
18
This is the genesis of a nemesis
19
Mother America's not witnessing
20
The Harlem renaissance birthed black businesses
21
This is the tale of lost innocences as the incents burn
22
And the turn tables turn and that Al Greens plays
23
I see my mother's afro as momma taps her toes as she rolls her jays
24
And my poppa just left the house, in search of the killer of my Uncle Ray
25
And she's trying to calm my nerves, as I observe this is just one day
26
And what tomorrow has in store we could never be sure so all we can do is

Pray

33
As I head towards my home room I observe the rooms though needles on the ground
34
I hear a car go vrooom drug dealer in the bm with the top down
35
As the girls start to giggle I ask why you laugh they say "you too little"
36
One day you'll understand when you become a man 'bout things you have to get you
37
Fast forward freeze frame on my pistol
38
Fist full of dollars ignorance is so blissful
39
I didn't choose this life this life chose me
40
Around here is the shit that you just do
41
I just left school, the same bm is pulled over by the boys dressed blue
42
They had they guns drawn screaming just move
43
Unless there something else you suggest we can do
44
He made his way to the trunk, opened it like a huh
45
A treasure chest was removed
46
Cops said he'll be back next month
47
What we call corrupt he called paying dues
48
Now when the rules is blurred as they hears a what am I to do
49
But pray, pray the lord forgive me
50
Pray guys goodbye for what I'm about go through
51
Pray

57
Anyway there's oppression the drug profession
58
Flourishes like beverages refreshing
59
Sweet taste of sin everything I've seen made me everything I am
60
Bad drug dealer or I victim I beg
61
What came first moving chickens or the egg
62
This is why I be so fresh I'm trying to beat life
63
Because I can't cheat death
64
The truth is the shamelessness ain't stainless is that aim this is
65
You know who's game this is
66
Move coke like Pepsi it don't matter what the brand name is
67
I stand behind mine everything I do I'm a man behind mine
68
I'm not a angel I'm sure but every night before I lay
69
I drop my knees to the floor and I pray
70

71
The name shall endure forever
72
The name shall continue as long as the sun will
73
Men shall be blessed in him
74
All nations shall call him blessed
75
In your name I pray
76
For you blessings
