1] Man you 21 now and I still can it living on your own, just hard to conceive That you on the right track, out pursuing that But a few years I couldn't see you in college You was all out cripping, brought a gun in the My first was to take it, give you one to the mouth But never that, we through way to much I always tried to give you but not say too much Tried to by example, didn't I have some nerve Telling you stay out the while I was out slanging herb But I always preferred you do it smarter me You didn't have to prove nothing harder then me You mom at the cleaners away from misdemeanors I was of you then Please I still am Don't let the world get you down, throw you off your Life is hard, even harder on a black man If it gets rough blow a blunt and bump some slow jams Know every man with a badge is probably a But ever risk your freedom, just to throw one punch Let a coward be a coward, he has to deal with his I know these deserve it but give em a pass I know you keep it gangster, just do it with class Above all this, no matter how big you get I'm your big brother and I can always whoop your ass
They say a wise man knows nothing, so I a lot less But I been you at homie, put to the test The answer lies within, so open your chest And find God yourself and he'll show you the rest I know the world is against you and your going through But long as you still God, and know you been blessed The sin is giving up, there's no need to confess Find a God yourself and he'll show you the rest
2] Now take that doo-rag off you get in my ride Man that shit fresh, you're supposed to wear it inside Not under or under a cap I might be getting old but I don't understand You want hoodie on or off, please make up your mind Trapped in a rap video, your mind Getting lost through someone helps you find yourself I guess how it works I seen this kid the other day with murder on his shirt And never been to a Now am I out of touch, if I say unusual This will sing a love ballad to his homeboys, before a young lady Now aint that If you didn't love that then 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, why not value every life Its obvious you know the difference wrong and right Its not about self, its hard to follow the light When you're surrounded by darkness, almost drowning in Been searching for help but still aint found no real people Here's a shout, we out here, we struggling too of us do it legal; some will thug our way through We got to to show the world that our youth are intelligent So keep it gangster in your CD changer, not residence
