Ive lived my life for 20 yrs.
Inside my mind rest many fears
and Ive cried memory tears
lost a lot of love along the way
done time so Ive paid
paid my dues to this society
decided to make a change for the better
turn my life around
like the sun changes the weather
been complicated, but emanicipated
triumphed over evil
prayed to have some good follow me
down this journey called life
struck by the arrow of strife
played with the cards I was dealt
from the city where the moneys hot
what I speak is from the heart
committed many penalites, none perjury
just spit the truth
volumes recorded through time
fakeness isnt in me
love rises above 360 degrees
in the hemisphere, we need to become aware
destruction, rage, shouldnt have a place here
theres a thin line between using words
and telling the value of what you teach
Americas youth needs to find Gods speech
take notes, read and listen carefully
Time can be your best friend
or your worst enemy
live to see what you can be
times a wishing well, throw in your pennies
collect em, save up
turn back the hands on the clock
in the streets put down your glocks
change our previous mistakes
learn from what youve been taught
times of the essence
lifes a long hard lesson...
time..
Its a game of trivial pursuit
either you can win or lose
dont get it twisted and confused
you can make of it as you want
see I could of thrown in my towel a long time ago
spent much money, lived many lives
Im on 8 1 more is 9
so I have to choose wisely
stayed quiet as kept
all my soldiers on the right
whoever aint down take a step to the left
on certain subjects I take a strong stance
cuz I know that time can be gone in a glance
Conquered by the overtones of illegal weaponry
taken by the jungle introduced to thievry
the eyes of death stared at me
after life number 7
I decided it was time to start over
took the devil off my shoulder
became 1 in many of a flock
some may think what Im sayin is a crock
if yous one of them come see me face to face
look through my soul, tell me if you can see my pain
where my heart is, used to be a space
before my 13th birthday I had 20 scars
always prepared to go to war
only love showed me the right door
the light, was like nothing I ever seen
at night when I used to dream
this was the light that kept me believing
call it whatever you want, it was spiritual
like Pacino, it was Untouchable
am I a prophet, no
but what I am is an observer
and I see this seed called hate
spreading like a killer disease
no matter how much I try, I got to get on my knees
tell my life story ask people not to judge me
get to know me, Im an open book
thats difficult to decipher
but once you find the grass roots
youll discover the strength of a dying breed
when I was young, the seed
the seed was hidden deep
as I was growing the water became love
but acted out in anger
couldnt find the right way to deal w/ misery
nobody seemed to lend a hand of sympathy
gradually and gradually things went from
bad to worse
felt like someone at birth
diagnosed me with a curse
time brought rains like never before
when it rained it damn sure poured
Lincoln said 4 score and 7
I said, the next life I use, Ill be in heaven
in craps its 7 or 11
either you hit or you get hit
rugged and weary
but no ways am I tired
Ive come from the bottom
with each step climbed higher and higher
reached the next level
in this life of understanding
for when final judgment comes
I wont leave no rocks unturned
no bridges burned
days of doing crime
packin heat with a nine
finally found the reason for time.......
