I it like it is, then how it could be
Heaven or hell boy, freedom or boy A bag full of shit I could sell for The higher, the low boy, just me and my The police kill us so we made up our own Been fighting this long war, there's shells in shores sand Still young but a man, could tell by my stash Been stackin' money and problems as I wait for the never been 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 my momma proud, feel like her only son I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one everything I need, with everything I want I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one To do it nobody has ever done
When I was in seventh grade my grandfather me don't get caught Lovin' the streets cause they never love you back But I feel like all we got so it's all we really 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 look at them, we see somebody that help but they at us and all they see is a nigga It don't really matter anyway, we all die one day man, one day
Do cry when the black man dies, or do we croak with crows The catch gun shots, the old catch the holy ghost Ho I not, I never seen no pot of gold Just ball windows and six fours with no Was broke with no bitches, she love me kill me if it make you richer, what you screaming, you my brother for Heart is where the hatred is, the brain that stained the love And life is what you make it so I'm makin' for my folks
I gotta be, I be, I gotta be the one To make it up to heaven, the things I've done I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one To make my proud, feel like 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 most people look at a who does what I Do they look at us with 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 don't treat each other it You're looking at a person telling that they story don't Matter when they're no better than me, walkin' down the tryna shoot at somebody 'Cause all we got is these dreams man and y'all ain't had to not have 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 homies die went on rides to kill 'em back So how you say you feel me when you never had to get through We live for they amusement like they view us from behind the No matter we grow into, we never gonna escape our past So in this cage they for me, exactly where you find me at it's my time to leave or not, I never turn my back
I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one To make it up to heaven, despite the things done I gotta be, I gotta be, I be the one To make my momma proud, feel 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
