Song Description

My life story about growin up in the hood with nothin. I made this song to leave behind for all my loved ones in the event I should pass.

Lyrics

1st VERSE

Growin up I Thought I was invincible. Spendin more time arguin wit da priciple. Den in class, teachers laughed as I
barely passed. Never was good math, but I could count my cash.I
had brass balls,always actin conceited. What I look like pledgin
allegience.Knowin dam well I didn't mean it. Somebody told me I
was born back in January 1974.Horns pokin out da top a my
head.Voted most likely ta put a infared dot on ya head.There I
go again slidin my 91 Maro through da parkin lot.5 point O
engine dual exhuast.Ridin off like a thief in da night. I was 15
years old when I picked up a mic. Nationality halfblack Half
white.Always Stereotyped cuz my skin was light.

HOOK

We'll See you in da afterlife.Walk ta da
light.Sometimes ya gotta sacrifice. ta do was right.God knows I
done paid da price strugglin. Stayin up half da night hustlin.
Men make money, money dont make men. If you gone play dis game play it ta win. Pitfalls all around.Set you up N break ya down. But,Be careful thesy just wanna take you down.

VERSE 2

Inside my mind its treacherous. Im fightin wit demons. Daddy told me he was leavin but I didnt believe him. What was da reason I didnt do nothin wrong.Every time I needed em he was gone N never answered his phone. I remember feelin bad But I couldnt let it phase me. Gotta keep on doin my thang until it pays me. Crazy as it seems I wadnt even in my teens. When I first learned how ta operate a triple beam. Sufferin from low
self esteem tryin ta bottle up my rage. People swore I was goin
through a phase. From da land a da free da home a da brave.Where ya pak a pistol or keep a switchbade wit you.Its all about survival of a da fittest. Life is like a gunfight lets see who
ca pull da quickest.

HOOK

We'll See you in da afterlife.Walk ta da
light.Sometimes ya gotta sacrifice. ta do was right.God knows I
done paid da price strugglin. Stayin up half da night hustlin.
Men make money, money dont make men. If you gone play dis game play it ta win. Pitfalls all around.Set you up N break ya down. But,Be careful they just wanna take you down.se snakes dont make a sound.

3rd VERSE

I leave this behind for my son, my daughter. My nieces N nephews. May God Bless you. Forgive me for my sins.Wipe away ya tears. Even if I ain't still here physically I'm a be there in da end.Spiritually,forever in ya memory, hopin you remember me.When times get tough dig deep N follow ya soul. Stay away from da streets they'll swallow ya whole. You ca feel my spirit in every lyric I spit.But,My times limited I gotta what I ca
get. Got Babies killin babies nobodys loyal.All Across da world
its chaos N turmoil.My blood starts ta boil when I think New
Orleans.Whats more important. Da Oil or da country you
supportin.When I look in my babies face I see myself. Now I know
how my dad must felt.


HOOK

We'll See you in da afterlife.Walk ta da
light.Sometimes ya gotta sacrifice. ta do was right.God knows I
done paid da price strugglin. Stayin up half da night hustlin.
Men make money, money dont make men. If you gone play dis game play it ta win. Pitfalls all around.Set you up N break ya down. But,Be careful they just wanna take you down.
