[Verse 1] I asked my mama what's the key to life, she told me she ain't know She just try to take it day to day, and pray I make it home Made me wonder for a second, til I felt my weapon Falling out my pocket, then walked inside my room before she saw it Never had a happy home, stability's a problem Evictions from apartments, prison letters from my father All a nigga ever knew, if it wasn't for Rashard or Ray I probably would be shot today, they taught a loc survival My teachers said I had a vibrant mind, but a tarnished shine Doing violent crimes, put the money in my pockets Gave it to my mom, but when a nigga had a chance Never asked where it was from, happy that I lent a hand The day my grandfather died, I grew into a man Around the same time I first pulled a trigger I prayed it didn't hit him, but after awhile I ain't care As long as a nigga still here, right?
[Verse 2] Never had belief in Christ, cus in the pictures he was white Same color as the judge that gave my hood repeated life Sentences for little shit, church I wasn't feeling it Why the preacher charge tell us everything gon be alright Knew what it was for, still I felt that it was wrong Till I heard Chef call himself God in the song And it all made sense, cus we can't do shit But look inside the mirror once it all goes wrong You fix your own problems, tame your own conscience All that holy water shit is nothing short of nonsense Not denying Christ, I'm just denying niggas options Cus prayer never moved my Grandmama out of Compton I prayed for my cousin, but them niggas still shot him Invest in a gun, cause them niggas still got them And won't shit stop em from popping you in broad day Hope that choir pew bulletproof or you gon' pay
[Verse 3] Money was the motive, Florence, California, cutting corners Trying catch a nigga slipping just to blaze him that Sabonis (what?) Chamber long as Tommy Chambers nigga meet your maker As-Salamu leave em lakeside, bells can't save em When them shells start raining, guess my mama didn't raise me right Too busy paying Christ to wash away her sins But I'm the only one that's fucked up in the end? That's the shit that happens when you put a book before your kids The only girl I ever loved turned into a bitch If I ever see her and I got a gun, she getting hit That's as honest as it gets, I've done a lot of shit I ain't proud of, but I wouldn't trade it in for Heaven 11 Mac-11's, and a Tre 57 Bet that shit will get to talking if you ever got a question Never met a person worth trying to impress So consider this a murder when it's 5 inside your chestTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
