| [00:08.01] |
Born with the struggle |
| [00:08.89] |
Used to hustle for crumbs |
| [00:10.38] |
Fillin blunts in the building front thuggin for ones |
| [00:13.26] |
Full clips fly dicks |
| [00:14.70] |
Down somethin to pump |
| [00:16.26] |
Whole cliques fly whips |
| [00:17.64] |
Dimes nothin to son |
| [00:19.19] |
City boy on the corner |
| [00:20.88] |
I was so involved |
| [00:23.07] |
So the drama I embraced it with open arms |
| [00:25.32] |
Was tryin to shake the pain |
| [00:26.83] |
Hopin I could break the chains |
| [00:28.44] |
Every day the same |
| [00:29.50] |
Who am I to make a change |
| [00:31.38] |
Will my niggaz risk it all just to play the game |
| [00:34.13] |
And the young'uns goin through it |
| [00:35.64] |
Tryin to play the same |
| [00:37.19] |
Through the rain |
| [00:37.95] |
Through the fire |
| [00:38.57] |
Handcuffed by desire |
| [00:39.32] |
Sent to your son |
| [00:41.57] |
Forgive me for the sins that I've done |
| [00:44.08] |
My life my pain lasts forever |
| [00:46.52] |
|
| [00:49.48] |
Nothin in these streets makes it better |
| [00:56.05] |
My life my pain lasts forever |
| [01:01.67] |
Nothin in these streets makes it better |
| [01:04.42] |
And so I live on |
| [01:07.94] |
Sittin here thinkin drinkin got a |
| [01:09.50] |
Lot on my mind |
| [01:10.38] |
Is my life shrinkin am I |
| [01:12.32] |
Caught in the times |
| [01:13.50] |
It's a quarter to nine and I'm grabbin my 9 |
| [01:16.57] |
I had dreams I just |
| [01:18.32] |
Wanted to rhyme |
| [01:20.07] |
Climb my ways out these whack-ass ghettos |
| [01:22.94] |
I signed my name on the line with the devil |
| [01:25.94] |
Still in my prime weight |
| [01:27.19] |
But lost minds are settled |
| [01:28.94] |
Pots on the stove move grandma's kettle |
| [01:31.94] |
Late for my job he thinks he's a star |
| [01:34.94] |
She hates her husband |
| [01:36.07] |
She says I'm a slob |
| [01:37.69] |
Mixed feelins she ain't gettin involved |
| [01:39.50] |
Battle of the sexes |
| [01:41.70] |
The planet's off its axis |
| [01:43.88] |
The IRS God damn I owe these taxes |
| [01:46.69] |
The truth hurts but I can take it |
| [01:49.82] |
It's a long time comin but I can make it |
| [01:52.91] |
No mistakin the cream is back |
| [01:55.55] |
My life my pain lasts forever |
| [02:01.74] |
Nothin in these streets makes it better |
| [02:08.01] |
My life my pain lasts forever |
| [02:10.07] |
Nothin in these streets makes it better |
| [02:18.44] |
And so I live on |
| [02:21.51] |
I'm standin on my own two |
| [02:25.20] |
I got my niggaz true niggaz real niggaz |
| [02:32.01] |
Stop the wheel really You only feel me |
| [02:34.63] |
If you walk the same road talk the same code |
| [02:37.51] |
Still dwellin in the hell |
| [02:38.88] |
And find the time to make a home |
| [02:40.82] |
The few who escape will try to find a safer zone |
| [02:43.45] |
I ain't waitin for Obama |
| [02:44.88] |
Never doubted him I'm proud of him |
| [02:46.88] |
He real he'll spend a couple million |
| [02:48.82] |
In the housing then |
| [02:49.88] |
Seein is believin my vision is blurred |
| [02:52.38] |
Cause I ain't seein nothin I heard |
| [02:54.13] |
Really nothin but words |
| [02:55.88] |
The bottom line I'm still stuck to the curb |
| [02:58.38] |
Sky high but it wasn't the sherm |
| [03:00.63] |
Really nuttin but herbs |
| [03:02.07] |
I risk it all for the cause |
| [03:04.88] |
Even if it's war with the law won't pause |
| [03:06.95] |
I can't won't don't stop I ain't got an off switch |
| [03:10.95] |
Dyin tryin to live it just to get a small part of it |
| [03:14.22] |
My squad is sick |
| [03:15.35] |
Type that you don't want problems with |
| [03:17.35] |
Rollin like 70 Mack trucks what's stoppin it |
| [03:20.04] |
My life my pain lasts forever |
| [03:25.16] |
Nothin in these streets makes it better |
| [03:27.72] |
My life my pain lasts forever |
| [03:34.17] |
Nothin in these streets makes it better |
| [03:38.93] |
And so I live on |
| [03:46.05] |
Ohhhhh |
| [03:47.55] |
