[00:25.78]And all through Junior High, we was just gettin by
[00:28.43]And drivebys robbed my homies of their young lives
[00:31.12]I never did cry, and even though I had

[00:36.13]They couldn\'t tell me nothin, they all tried to help to help me
[00:39.10]The marijuana had my mind gone it wasn\'t healthy
[00:41.44]I travelled places, caught cases, what a ill year
[00:43.86]I felt the pain and the rain but I\'m still here
[00:46.49]Never did like the police, let the whole world know
[00:49.27]Now I gets no peace, cause they chasin me down
[00:51.76]And facin me now, what do I do?
[00:53.88]These thangs that a Thug goes through
[00:55.68]And still I rise so keep ya head up, and make ya mind strong
[01:00.01]It\'s a struggle every day but you gotta hold on

[01:30.29]Can\'t help but duplicate the violence seen on the screen
[01:32.79]My homies dyin \'fore they get to see they birthdays
[01:35.29]These is the worst days, sometimes it hurts to pray
[01:38.03]And even God turned his back on the ghetto youth
[01:40.58]I know that ain\'t the truth, sometimes I look for proof
