WHO KNOWS…(Inspired by Tupac Shakur's, "White Man's World)
Searched with my heart,
And played the part of a simple man…
Couldn’t understand all this bondage in this freedom land…
And crime pays,
So I gotta find my hustle dawg…
Slanging ya-yo ‘til the day’s old,
And night falls…
My life calls for a change,
But I’m stuck here…
Amongst a jury of my peers,
Shedding tatted tears…
Am I the blame?
Cause they calling me a criminal…
Subliminal thoughts of genocide in this millennium…
And suicide got me questioning this life’s purpose…
Dreaming of a Thug Mansion,
Where no one can hurt us…
Dessert me Lord,
And I swear I’m a dead man…
Unless the absence of my life is in your plan…
Who… knows what tomorrow bring…
In a world… where everyone lies…
No where to go -
No matter how far, I'll try…
To let you know that you're not alone…
Who… knows what tomorrow bring…
In a world… where everyone lies…
No where to go -
No matter how far I'll try…
To let you know that you're not alone…
Incarcerated as a juvenile - running wild…
In the streets - I gotta hustle just to make ends meet…
On my block, we all dwell inside a paradox…
From the womb to the couch
Was the man of the house…
Pops tripped, then dipped…
Now picture - an adolescent’s fault why Pops plan went south…
Now lost & lonely,
Searching for an omen just to save my ass…
Getting high, watching time fly from present to past…
Who will last… in the end?
All my peers stuck in the Penn…
Shedding tears cause his cellmate’s his only friend…
And they label me a thug nigga…
I’m counting blessings - still stressing…
In this land of no love, nigga…
Now, go figure…
Bigger than the major drug dealer…
But this reflection makes the thought of me insane turn realer…
And this game will get you caught up in a permanent sling…
So I hang sow low, and so broke, but only God knows…
What tomorrow brings
Tha Prodigal One...
