[00:01.52] Yo this goes for all my brothers and sisters locked down
[00:04.64]
[00:05.30] For all my peoples incarcerated for those who ain't make it
[00:09.30] Yo in the housing thousands seen early graves
[00:12.79] Victims of wordily ways memories stays engraved
[00:15.86] All my live brothers is locked down with high numbers
[00:18.73] The young hunger blind to these lies they die younger
[00:21.23] In this New World the Order slaughter men women and children
[00:23.30] Ten feet gates surround the building keep us sealed in
[00:26.48] The projects lifeless like a Vietnam vet
[00:28.80] Constant war sever threats of enemy conquest
[00:31.17] Crooked cops comb my building complex that's in the rumble
[00:34.36] Streets are like a jungle can't let my cypher crumble
[00:37.05] Vivid thoughts Devils resort to trick knowledge
[00:39.61] They kick garbage lust for chicks and quick dollars
[00:42.05] I know the pain the game bring I did the same thing
[00:44.73] Spaced out in the staircase performing a sting
[00:47.42] It's hard to keep control I bless those who seek a scroll
[00:50.11] Trying to reach a whole nation and break the sleeper hold
[00:52.61] Not a role model I walk a hard role to follow
[00:55.24] I sold bottles of sorrow then chose poems and novels
[00:57.98] The gospel was told some souls it swallowed whole
[01:00.61] Mentally they fold and they eventually sold
[01:03.17] Their life and times deadly like the virus design
[01:05.67] But too minute to dilute the science is mine
[01:08.55] You can't party your life away
[01:09.80] Drink your life away
[01:11.05] Smoke your life away
[01:12.42] F**k your life away
[01:13.80] Dream your life away
[01:15.30] Scheme your life away
[01:16.61] 'Cause your seeds
[01:17.74] Grow up the same way
[01:19.24] A voice cries from the wilderness of the North
[01:21.99] A representation of the families that lost one
[01:24.61] All victims of incarceration
[01:25.63]
[01:26.88] Or other divisions of the family structure
[01:29.75] Youths are injected with serums that leads
[01:32.31] To skin irritations babies being born with
[01:35.25] Disfigurations experimentations
[01:37.63] On their faces there bear world relations
[01:40.38] Of mothers that carry the pain
[01:42.07] Of blood stained streets where sisters mourn and wail
[01:45.44] Big brothers been slain from hails of gun fire
[01:48.19] It lightly begins to rain screams of terror
[01:50.88] Are hidden by the passing trains
[01:52.69] This can't be little Shane his uncle cried
[01:56.00] As he drops to his nephew's side holding his cane
[01:58.69] Just give me a name of who has inflicted this
[02:01.50] Bitter sickness and left us to witness
[02:04.07] Yeah yo
[02:06.75]
[02:07.50] Curses from war innocent blood spills for days
[02:09.19] Soothe in Godly ways hands solemn in praise
[02:11.88] Tree of life more precious than Wu is golden game
[02:14.50] The wise self flourish inherit Halls of Fame
[02:17.07] Crime visions in my blood got me locked in prison
[02:19.69] While we die hard living people whine about religion vision
[02:22.51] Blow spin and sin and killing what's revealing
[02:25.07] It's a never ending battle with no ending or beginning listen
[02:28.13] Zero process progress become the hunted
[02:30.32] America's most wanted good life flaunted want it
[02:33.32] Some love the speed some satisfy a need
[02:35.44] Some want to be down young gun seed jungle breed
[02:38.13] The stronger speed someone die someone bleed
[02:40.88] One flew astray and then caught my little seed
[02:43.51] Can it be the ice have us trife life made me grab the knife
[02:47.01] The righteous man would be within these stripes pipes
[02:49.13] Take in my energy breath and know the rest
[02:51.44] 'Cause the good die young and the hard die best
[02:54.01] You can't party your life away
[02:55.44] Drink your life away
[02:56.88] Smoke your life away
[02:58.13] F**k your life away
[02:59.44] Dream your life away scheme your life away
[03:02.07] 'Cause your seeds grow up the same way
[03:04.26] 'Cause your seeds grow up the same way
[03:07.70] 'Cause your seeds grow up the same way
[03:10.13] Y'all bitches love dances and pulling down your pants
[03:12.57] While your man's on tour your spending up his advances
[03:14.70] Your friends ain't shit all they do is drink smoke and suck dick
[03:18.32] The whole projects is trapped in stench
[03:20.20] You either high school drop-outs one to three cop-outs
[03:23.07] Fifteen years old shorty ass and top out
[03:25.76] Ninety-nine cent beer drinking pussy stinking
[03:28.45] F**king so much your ass and titties start shrinking
[03:31.07] New World Order slave trade minimum wage better cage
[03:33.76] Can a devil fool a Muslim nowadays
[03:36.07] Inside my lab I'm going mad
[03:37.95] Took two drags off the blunts and started breaking down the flag
[03:41.63] The blue is for the Creeps the red is for the Bloods
[03:44.07] The whites for the cops and the stars come from the clubs
[03:46.88] Or the slugs that ignites through the night by the dawn
[03:49.39] Early light why is sons fighting for the stripe
[03:52.01] As we dwell through this concrete hell calling it home
[03:54.70] Mama say take your time young man and build your own
[03:57.26] Don't wind up like your old dad
[03:58.89] Still searching for them glory days he never had
[04:01.45] So many bad want to scheme for American dream no more kings
[04:04.82] The cash rule everything now we going down
[04:07.95] These babies looking up to us it's up to us
[04:10.70] The Million Man March MC's get on the bus
[04:13.20] But envy greed lust and hate separate
[04:15.70] Though the devil mind state blood kin cannot relate
[04:18.39] No longer brothers we unstable
[04:20.95] Like Kane when he slew Abel killing each other
[04:23.76] You can't party your life away
[04:24.89] Drink your life away
[04:26.51] Smoke your life away
[04:27.83] F**k your life away
[04:29.14] Dream your life away scheme your life away
[04:31.83] 'Cause your seeds grow up the same way
[04:34.33] 'Cause your seeds grow up the same way
[04:37.33] 'Cause your seeds grow up the same way
