Dedication

With my eyes open I tried to focus

I see my mother

Squeezing my hand teary eyed behind her

I see my brothers

And I wonder, how quick the game would take me under

I felt the bullets hit me in the back and it felt like thunder

Man, I'm thinkin' is it too late for me to change?

I knew this world is full of snakes dog but that's a part of the game

A young thug that always scream I ain't afraid of rain

I would just fight it out with Lord when I had no one to blame

From all the dirt I did

Snatchin' purses to pay the rent

I knew it would all catch up to me

Man I hope I'm heaven sent

I used to be the main one screamin' nigga I'm prepared to die

And when it came down to me layin on the death bin I was scared to die

No evidence of a killa when I found a bird in my dresser

And if I don't die here

I'll die tracin' your hot desert

I can't win for losin' to meet a whole gang of snakes

Never thought about killin' myself

But I refuse to die at the stake

Nigga, have you ever been sittin' in your car nigga, rollin' up a blunt?

When a nigga comes up to your window and gives you a whole clip?

Nah you ain't ever had that, you ain't ever experienced that

Have you ever been walkin' through the park,

With your kids and your family, and a nigga comes out the bushes and

Gives you and your family a whole clip?

No you ain't ever had that

I remember when I had it made

13 with a whole verb

Used to catch me comin' down the street clownin' in my convertible Ford ?

I used to be all on the curb

Tryin' to holla at me a shorty

With my right hand do dub

And me sippin' up on a 40

Me and my nigga used to have it made

We used to even fuck the same bitches

We used to spend weeks and even months on the corner tryin' to maintain

Our riches

Remember we used to cut and go to other schools

And I slayed them niggas with lyrics

Had the whole school late for class
