struggle

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
