1
[Chorus:]
2
Yo, you suckers is playin' a role
3
You niggaz is out of control
4
This world could swallow you whole
5
The evil could snatch your soul
6
Yo nigga put the gun away, or you get done away
7
If not today there'll be a bullet for you one day
8
The gun play used to be the forte
9
As a youth, bustin' shots off the roof for horseplay
10
But once you get a glimpse of the shots, flyin' at you
11
You think about the possibility of dying and that's true
12
You won't be stressin' the gun my son
13
You'll be askin' the Lord for a chance, just one
14
Trials and tribulations, critical situations
15
Read it in revelations, check the configuration
16
They poison our population no matter your occupation
17
No matter your congregation, this is a troubled nation
18
[Chorus x2]
19
I've seen the worst of the worst, I've seen the best of the best
20
Seems like the weight of the world is ridin' on my chest
21
A universal pain, my soul has absorbed
22
Don't respect no phonies, don't pay attention to frauds
23
The Lord only knows the depths of my sorrow
24
And some don't follow because their brains are hollow
25
So swallow these words and observe the signs
26
Yo turbulent times, are disturbin' the minds
27
of the youth, and ghetto life, is the proof
28
The only skills that's taught, is how to cock and to shoot
29
Poverty crack guns, hustlers stack ones
30
Take money is the motto cause we all lack funds
31
[Chorus x2]
32
Nobody owes you nuttin' so you better get yours
33
My desire flows like sweat, from my open pores
34
My sores heal, but still the scars remain
35
A lot of niggaz gonna feel, much more pain
36
But yo I guess that's life, it don't make things right
37
Been through a lot of fights, cause ignorance makes me uptight
38
And cats be thinkin', that us rappers ain't real
39
And other cats be thinkin' street life is all about steel
40
Some of this may be, but yo, look in my face
41
Cause can't none of why'all bitches ever stand in my place
42
Pop the Remi, some for L, Tah, 'Pac and Biggie
43
Really? Niggaz want to stop the jiggy?
44
Fuck a willie, still you know you gots to dig me
45
The city, rotten to the core, no pity
46
The crowds roar, scavengers are out to get me
47
I want to live, I'm tryin' hard to stay positive
48
[Chorus x2]
49
"Brother do the math...stay alive...it's alright!"
