  • Artist Info: Turn on the light, let me see what's in front of me<br />
    All of a sudden, this picture I painted just turned ugly<br />
    I'm tryin' to do good, but the devil's f***in' wit me<br />
    'Cause I ain't ever had no beef, but now I need some f***in' heat<br />
    It seems like every time I get it I lose it<br />
    Get it, abuse it, and what I'm left with is useless<br />
    'Cause three years in a row, I felt like the world was mine<br />
    And three years in a row, I lost it all in the blink of an eye<br />
    And I believe what I do 'll come back one day<br />
    But why am I still losin'? I can't take the pain<br />
    Am I to blame? Please excuse me for my rotten ways<br />
    I'm just tryin' to do what I gots to do so I get paid<br />
    Get down and pray to the souls from up above<br />
    And hopefully my guardian angel will show me some love<br />
    Forgive me for my sins and all the sh*t that I did<br />
    And hopefully she won't let it reflect onto my kid<br />
    <br />
    Y'all don't know what it's like bein' born with stress against you<br />
    Only feelin' in this world is the life within you<br />
    You'd have to be damn near dead to see the nights I been through<br />
    Damn near dead to feel the wind beneath you<br />
    Envisionin' so much, my minds an open window<br />
    Where I gather all these thoughts for all your broken info<br />
    If seein' is believin', then there's more to live fo'<br />
    My only reasonin' is breathin' and I live to just hope<br />
    What you know about bein' bedside next to your girl<br />
    On poison control IV's 'cause she can't stand the world?<br />
    And what you know about no heat and no electric?<br />
    I sold my MP to pay the bills, I'm so pathetic<br />
    I wake up and go to work, back aches and my shoulders hurt<br />
    And what's it worth? I'm easily checked and don't control my earth<br />
    Still walk these hollow grounds, bein' lost but never found<br />
    Say to the Lord, "I'll die for music", but there's never sound<br />
    Screamin' in vein, everything be seemin' the same<br />
    Ask my mom, "What's the problem, why am I feelin' this way?"<br />
    Ask my pop, "Can you solve it?", this game, I'm bleedin' to stay<br />
    More then willing to give it up if I can't live it up<br />
    Hand in my clutch, gun in my lap<br />
    Doin' a buck and some change, not knowin' where the f*** I'm at<br />
    I try to maintain, the pain is unstoppable<br />
    Put my son on my back and I maneuver through the obstacles<br />
    <br />
    1988, pops died, middle of the night<br />
    Forty-six years old, middle of his life<br />
    My mother ain't have a job, poppy was on his grind<br />
    And we ain't got no money, so she lose her f***in' mind<br />
    Lenny helped out, and that was real<br />
    But he had a little daughter to raise, and that's the deal<br />
    My other brother, I won't mention his f***in' name<br />
    'Cause he ain't worthy of my bitterness or f***in' pain<br />
    Me and my mother, all we needed was some love<br />
    And my brother, all he needed was his drugs<br />
    How could you look at us with a job, we was poor<br />
    It's your mother birthday, you don't give her a call?<br />
    You have two nephews and a beautiful niece<br />
    But they don't think of you as Uncle, they think you deceased<br />
    I'm so f***in' mad that I got a slug for you<br />
    But Mommy raised me better, I got love for you<br />
    <br />
    I'll see you on the street, dog, we gonna handle it<br />
    One on one, beat you down and then hug you<br />
    Tell you I love you, daddy, but now, f*** you<br />
    <br />
