|
| [00:09.413] |
Got three kids, just fini*****ng the third of his three bids |
| [00:12.141] |
Sang thief's theme's..but said when he returns he'll get decent |
| [00:15.112] |
Police said don't ever come on back to this district |
| [00:18.213] |
He's kids can only have contact on the weekend |
| [00:21.202] |
The distance is killing him, he'd die for those boys |
| [00:23.819] |
Now his wife want divorce, his whole life is destroyed |
| [00:26.870] |
There's no respite for my boy, just years of turbulence |
| [00:29.833] |
Some start as burglars |
| [00:31.038] |
Then they get shoved with peers whose murderers |
| [00:33.226] |
They turn you to the dark art of streetlife |
| [00:35.841] |
It's where that stairway to heaven's |
| [00:37.353] |
A much larger and steep flight |
| [00:39.251] |
And each night the mission is the same |
| [00:41.584] |
Get your fist upon some change, keep your pistol on your waist |
| [00:44.111] |
Now his twisted in the game |
| [00:45.606] |
And it's a ***** to get away |
| [00:46.953] |
Cause paper's needed |
| [00:48.354] |
Out today, but his mental state craves for freedom |
| [00:51.011] |
Trying to slay them demons that pushed him to these measures |
| [00:53.654] |
Got a fam that needs feeding, He wasn't looking for no treasures |
| [00:57.066] |
Just something better, but with all that pressure saying.. |
| [01:00.007] |
|
| [01:00.481] |
I've been trying harder not to fall |
| [01:06.764] |
Cause what I'm striving for it isn't in my sight no more |
| [01:09.332] |
Can you hear the cries my lord we trying to live by your laws |
| [01:12.182] |
|
| [01:12.511] |
I've been trying harder not to fall |
| [01:18.329] |

| [01:21.375] |
Can you hear the cries my lord we trying to live by your laws |
| [01:24.225] |
|
| [01:24.490] |
Got three kids and two jobs |
| [01:25.719] |
Was a believer in true love |
| [01:27.094] |
Got a man that went away cause he didn't see that Judas |
| [01:29.950] |
Her food does not grow on trees so she at hooters |
| [01:32.848] |
Gotta make that mulla |
| [01:34.211] |
Her son's sixteen he needs a tutor |
| [01:36.071] |
Never was a boozer but now she drinks liquor in her room |
| [01:38.753] |
Cause this the type of *****t, they don't equip you for in school |
| [01:41.825] |
Thinking her Mr is a fool |
| [01:43.445] |
She files for divorce, cries to the lord |
| [01:44.911] |
She's pissed off from the side of her porch |
| [01:47.778] |
Rewinding thoughts to when she was her daughters' age |
| [01:50.849] |
Before the disorder came, dreamed of important aims |
| [01:53.852] |
Wanted to study but her buddy's had distractions galore |
| [01:56.773] |
Could of been a help to her hubby practising Law |
| [01:59.649] |
Trying to draw good from the struggle, look right threw the trouble |
| [02:03.129] |
But life in this jungle insights you to tumble |
| [02:06.288] |
Her bundle of joy wants toys, needs a sweater |
| [02:09.099] |
She rips her ex's mail up and says, my boys can't eat a letter |
| [02:12.689] |
They need something better, but with all the pressure saying... |
