I tell it it is, then how it could be
Heaven or hell boy, or jail boy A Jansport bag of shit I could sell for The higher, the low boy, me and my homeboys The kill us so we made up our own laws Been fighting this long war, there's shells in this shores young but a grown man, could tell by my stash Been stackin' money and as I wait for the rapture Death never no threat, I be chillin', relaxin' Everybody
I be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one To make it up to heaven, the things I've done I be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one To make my momma proud, feel her only son I be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one With I need, with everything I want I be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one To do it like nobody has ever
When I was in grade my grandfather told me don't get caught Lovin' the streets cause never gonna love you back But I feel like it's all we got so it's all we do love At the end of the day I feel like the is the people that control It don't really come from here, so they do nothing but look down on us We at them, we see somebody that could help but they at us and all they see is a nigga It really matter anyway, we all gon' die one day man, one day
Do cry when the black man dies, or do we croak with crows The young catch gun shots, the old the holy ghost Ho I love not, I seen no pot of gold Just ball windows and six fours no switches Was broke with no bitches, she me though You'll kill me if it make you richer, what you screaming, you my for Heart is where the hatred is, the brain that the love below And life is what you make it so I'm makin' for my folks
I be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one To make it up to heaven, despite the things I've I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one To make my proud, feel like her only son I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one With everything I need, with everything I I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one To do it like nobody has ever
When most people at a person who does what I Do they look at us these preconceived notions as if It's a set way for us all to be, but we all at the end Of the day so I wonder why we treat each other like it You're looking at a person telling them that story don't Matter they're no better than me, walkin' down the streets tryna shoot at somebody 'Cause all we got is these dreams man and y'all ain't never had to not nothing And that's the last you want from anybody Is to not have nothing
I through hell and back, I seen my momma cry Seen my hit the crack then hit the set to flip a sack I done seen my die then went on rides to kill 'em back So how you say you feel me you never had to get through that? We live for they amusement like they us from behind the glass No matter what we grow into, we never gonna escape our So in this cage they made for me, exactly you find me at Whether my time to leave or not, I never turn my back
I be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one To it up to heaven, despite the things I've done I be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one To my momma proud, feel like her only son I be, I gotta be, I gotta be the one With everything I need, with I want I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one To do it like nobody has done
