The way God would

I don’t know much about the rest of my life

All’s I know is there’ll be hazards and strife

The time moves on

And I stay strong

Never knowing when you’ll be gone…

That’s what I think about all daylong.



You know my life?

Well I know yours too

You know id never give you a knife-

I donno what you’d do

3 things keep running through my head-

One is life, one is truth, and the other is when I’ll be dead.



I know that I can rhyme

It all comes to me in a little bit of time

I always seem to let the good one’s so

Then I get stuck way down below



“Live on and Prosper”

That’s what he said

Well, that was all before they stuck him dead.

There is only one god

He is yours he is mine

Don’t follow the devil

That only kill’s time



You know that day

You went outside to play?

You got offered some drugs-

By some stupid thugs

You didn’t know what to do

Well, you said “NO.”

So I say “good for you.”



You know ya don’t have to listen to me

I am not gonna tell you what ya should be

I just write the words to this song

And I hope that some day, you’ll be singin along

Cuz I only mean good

I aint from the hood

I'm just livin my life,

The way the God said I should.
