They say a wise man nothing, so I know a lot less But I been where you at homie, put to the The answer lies deep within, so open chest And find God within yourself and show you the rest I know the is against you and your going through stress But long as you still breathing God, and know you blessed The only sin is giving up, there's no to confess Find a God within yourself and show you the rest
2] Now take that doo-rag off you get in my ride Man shit aint fresh, you're supposed to wear it inside Not bandannas or under a cap I might be getting old but I don't that You want your on or off, please make up your mind Trapped in a rap video, your mind Getting lost through someone else helps you yourself I that's how it works I this kid the other day with murder written on his shirt And been to a funeral Now am I out of touch, if I say it's This dude will a love ballad to his homeboys, before a young lady Now aint crazy If you didn't love that bitch why you make her keep your baby Ooh abortions not But just the night You were a killer pull a trigger you have a fare fight But if you value one, then why not every life Its you know the difference between wrong and right Its not about being self, its hard to follow the When you're surrounded by darkness, almost in evil Been searching for some help but still found no real people Here's a shout, know we out here, we too of us do it legal; some will thug our way through We got to fight to the world that our youth are intelligent So keep it gangster in your CD changer, not residence
