1
(Man talking) Yo Mega man, whats the deal son?
2
(Mega) Yo son, whattup?
3
(Man) Yo, I'm just sittin' here, zonin' out, thinkin' about how life is
4
yo, life's general for us, you know? how we livin' out here, you know,
5
things we go through man, why we gotta go through this life?
6
(Mega) Life is an interlude to death son, you ever thought about that?
7
[Verse 1]
8
The saga begins
9
I'm a reflection of the drama within
10
the ghetto I live in, niggas Moms on crack, Pops just disappeared
11
the first time you get locked up who really cares?
12
I see a snotty nosed kid with his sneakers on backwards
13
sleepin' on a mattress when I go to make a sale
14
at times I wonder, are we goin' straight to Hell?
15
or does God realize we're tryin' to make it as well
16
my sleep is interrupted by food on the stove
17
ot gun shots, we're immune to those
18
some of my friends first bids are two to fours
19
others are on the run with huge rewards
20
Mothers watch Son's walk through the doors
21
for the last time 'till they go view at the morgue
22
life is deep, we all just tryin' to eat
23
rap's a mental narcotic, I supply the streets
24
[Chorus]
25
Look at my life, you see white coke and black roses
26
and tears shed for passed soldiers
27
we all walk in a path chosen
28
from the cradle 'till the casket's lowered
29
I still got the black ski mask to throw on
30
but I can get richer off the tracks I flow on
31
I'd be lyin' if I said I wasn't hustlin' no more
32
look at my life..
33
[Verse 2]
34
Life ain't fair, shorty pregnant with nowhere to live
35
sleepin' in a crackhouse 'cause she don't got no relatives
36
or friends, wanna drink brew and beef about whose sale it is
37
ow she's gettin' hungry, she smells the marijuana scent
38
I paint a picture vividly
39
as if Picasso's spirit entered me
40
starin' at the Heavens, secluded in a tinted jeep
41
I'm sick of hearin' eulogies
42
I realize my nigga Blue is - a reminder of my past like Greek ruins
43
yet his seek keeps bloomin'
44
uneffected by police intrusions
45
or street illusions we were consumed wit'
46
I've even grown away from people I grew wit'
47
I mean we cool, but I don't need to bullshit
48
my mood could switch easily from smooth to ruthless
49
we ain't built the same so mind games are useless
50
times change, like the climate I change
51
check the forecast, I reign
52
[Chorus]
53
[Verse 3]
54
Live niggas I rep for, deceased, I pour Moet for
55
those incarcerated, my heart is wit' y'all
56
I know at times it gets hard behind penetentiary bars
57
then once free you realize you're mentally scarred
58
if not physically, if subjected to correctional facilities
59
prepare for your future to the best of your ability prosper, otherwise
60
you've been conquered
61
blowin' up your mother's phone so she can send you a box
62
Son, I sit inside my residence
63
and thank God I'm blessed with this poetical gift evident in every
64
ghetto like graffiti and crack sales
65
and cabs that won't stop for Black Males
66
undercovers givin' younger Brothers bad stares
67
Fours clap, Dogs crap in the grass here
68
you love to hear the story Son, the saga began here
69
MC's are fictitious yet the actual facts here
70
like the Bible said, Jesus had napped hair
71
[Chorus]
