its a struggle out ther my son
its either you buss ur ass on the streets
working that 9 to 5
or go ahead an pick up a gun
yeah its dat simple
some people walk some people leap
but just be warned my youth
the life you live is the life you give
and death is never a cheat
so go ahead and sell dat crack
go ahead and make dat dough
bring dat shit home to mums
make the world kis your toes
ack like god is not there watching ur every move
keep on doing what ur doing young nigga
and see how long it takes u to lose
u see i was just like u once
i have stories that could be put on film
ive lost love ones to this game
ive given up most of my skin
just look at me
look at all my scars
see if the diamonds i have in my mouth
are worth the lifetime i spent behind bars
u young niggas now a days think doing time
is just going to boost ur street cred
but trust me my youth being locked up in ia cell
is like he without the luxury of being dead
ive seen a lot a so called top shottas
with there face pressed up against the floor
ive heard them scream so loud that there tears leaked blood
shooting out of every pore
ive seen cats come in with a chip on there shoulders
as if it could never happen to them
but u try to withstand the might of four killers
that are physically and mentally prepared
to spend the rest of ther lives behind a maximum
security state pen
ive lived that life
i know what it brings
i have wounds so deep in my skin
the fragments of bulltes have clogged up all my limbs
i have so much lead in my bloodstream
i can taste it everytime i spit
i have a slitch blade lodge in my lower intestins
that fucking unclips i take a shit
my youth
do u really think u have the heart to take the blood of ur own kind
to be confined so deep within ur own mind
that u feel completely blind
do u know how hard it is to pull that trigger back
or whats it like to be lingering of reality
with strings as thin as a web saving u from that drop
stop
imagine ur heart making sudden contractions
its both a feeling of lost and confusing satisfactions
and believe me your reactions will never be the same
u placing a bullet beneath someone else skin
is the first step before u go completely insane
and ur insanity is not the worst
u see ur moral contriditions
will thirst for emotional prescriptions
ands as u dive within ur own inflictions
u will see these eyes
these are the eyes of an addict
and these are my pores
i know what its like to fall to the innermost depts of hell
only to come up wanting for more
whats it like to open the doors of my soul
to let the devil explore at his own descretion
an my youth dont get confuse thinking this as my confession
its just because when i dig deep within ur eyes
i see a refletion of myself
and im just trying to convey to u
that only fools play the cards that they were delt
dont be a fool my youth
the devil is on the hunt for new recruits
and the truth is hidden between
whats right and whats wrong
and i know its confusing at times
but dont make the asumption
that this gun will make you strong
true strenght needs no recognition
its more of a mental condition
that rationalizes the emotional decisions that you make
you need to concentrate on how to relate more positively
conciously formulate your own path
debate wheather or not a life of crime
is worth the chance
because there is no turning back
once you dance in the devils parade
you will be permanently situated
on that thing between his lap
an it doesnt matter how strapped you think u are
because bullets contracting heat
richocees and leave scars
this life is not for you my son
the constantly rotating barrell or a gun
only amounts to the sum
of you trying to replace the broken pieces of your heart
as if it was shattered by the magnifying rays of the sun
but whats the sense in picking up crumbs
my youth take a fools advise
as much as you lust for this life
its not worth making unnecessary sacrafices
for a world that does not comprimise
dont be controled by your own lies
stop hiding behind that disguise ur trying to front
get too deep in this game
and ill promise these niggas will eat you for lunch
