[00:11.35]Tears for ODB, drug-induced poetry
[00:15.54]What’s the use? Strung-out from that drug abuse, woe is me
[00:18.88]80's baby, so I know my pops was gettin’ high
[00:21.85]In the 90's, me and mama barely gettin’ by
[00:24.82]2000's I was concentratin’ more on gettin’ fly
[00:27.59]Gettin’ b*****s, gettin’ rich to get the s**t I couldn’t buy
[00:30.83]You know the story, you know my allegory
[00:33.51]I was sent from Heaven with a set of horns, they’d better warn y’all
[00:36.68]I’m here for more than just to kick some witty metaphors, dawg
[00:39.63]This more of the type of s**t you spit to set a war off
[00:42.79]Cause ****** be poor, get money and still don’t know
[00:45.52]Why the **** they can’t cop a house, the system meant to lock us out
[00:48.87]But I’m knockin’ down the door, strapped up with a four-four
[00:51.94]Robin Hood, s**t and yeah, I’m ‘hood rich
[00:55.29]That’s good enough to stay in new kicks and a good whip
[00:58.06]Get good head from a good *****, I give two s**ts, I’mma tell you straight up
[01:03.90]Straight up
[01:06.14]Straight up, aye, any chance I’mma take it
[01:08.57]Rather die before I fake it
[01:09.98]They say life is what you make it, *****, but I’m just tryna make it
[01:12.87]Straight up
[01:16.02]Straight up
[01:18.34]Straight up, aye, any chance I’mma take it
[01:20.71]Rather die before I fake it
[01:22.13]They say life is what you make it, *****
[01:25.19]Lord have mercy on my soul, what I’ve done and what I’ve seen
[01:28.14]My life has tumbled into that which only you could intervene
[01:31.20]I put my heart in senseless things: money, b*****s and street s**t
[01:34.58]Fascinated by beef, sad to say I won’t be s**t
[01:37.66]Grew up in this ***** without a pot to piss in, no toilet
[01:41.04]How ironic, I took a lot of s**t, like a bottom *****
[01:44.16]Or a model chick, high off coke
[01:46.34]They lockin’ sons up for less, I don’t care how y’all cope
[01:49.21]But yet I still peddle this **** and these pills
[01:52.30]I’ll never know how sittin’ comfy on that Oprah seat feels
[01:55.38]More than likely be on Most Wanted posters, we still
[01:58.58]Holdin’ on to old dreams of bein’ Hova, be real
[02:01.65]We the forgotten souls, bottom of the totem poles
[02:04.80]Left for dead, some ****** fled, people said they sold their souls
[02:07.90]I just think they found a better way, Lord knows I never pray
[02:11.00]But sometimes I be wishin’ I could levitate, I’ll take it straight up
[02:16.73]Straight up
[02:19.01]Straight up, aye, any chance I’mma take it
[02:21.52]Rather die before I fake it
[02:22.98]They say life is what you make it, *****, but I’m just tryna make it
[02:25.84]Straight up
[02:28.88]Straight up
[02:31.30]Straight up, aye, any chance I’mma take it
[02:34.08]Rather die before I fake it
[02:35.09]They say life is what you make it, *****
[02:37.48]But I’m just tryna make it
