Ooohhh, yeah, ooohhh, ooohhh, yeah, listen
For the first time in my life, I finally see
Just why, I seem to be in this situation
I see why all these niggas be hating
But this can't be life, Lord please tell me why
So why should I try, to stay in the fight
I never thought that I'd ever see a lot of shit happen
These days'll have a nigga lower pistol packing
I don't wanna be a victim of another homicide
But if one of my niggas need me I'ma be ready to ride to the death
And I feel like that bitch keep calling
Trying to get out of shit but I keep on falling
Slugs be on they way but they just stay stalling
So all my niggas get murdered but ain't nobody saw or involved
A victim of another flat line
I know that I can't stop cause I gotta back mine
My lifetime'll have a nigga feeling like long slow down
And ain't no telling when a nigga gone, calm down
But niggas keep testing me, stressing me
And ain't no getting next to me
Fuck up nigga you gon be the next to see
How the Lord watch how the street blessed a G
I got a fucked up heart, but he ain't stopping
Fin to work to the death but he still ain't dropping
Ten toes to the floor nigga we ain't rocking
D.A. want a deal nigga we ain't copping
Gotta stick to the G way that's the code
No matter how shit get I gotta pack the load
I'm all fucked up, hate got me bout to explode
I feel sometimes that I hit the wrong road
Why shit be so tough like that
I wanna see the light but it's just so black
I wanna turn around but I can't go back
Hard life that got a nigga built like that
Real like that to get killed like that
And ain't nobody tell a nigga chill like that
Southwest never kept a nigga still like that
And I guess these streets'll never deal like that
Cause this can't be life, Lord please tell me why
So why should I try, to stay in the fight
When these streets ain't my home, and these niggas are so wrong
I want so much more, before I reach the other side
Man how can you talk about the 9's
All this drama in a young nigga life got me hopping out my mind
I be moving kinda fast on the grind
Got a nigga in the system they asking for time
Will it be another chance or a casket at times
Most of my relatives are dying in a line
Days flip clouds ain't seen the sunshine
Everyday the one time wanna be running mine
And it be getting kinda hard for my fam
Trick falling through to pull a nigga out of a cram
Odds wanna chase a nigga ass down for a gram
I be glad that my kinfolks even give a damn
I wish the best for my kinfolk town
Get up out the hospital bed and let's scram
Come back to the house and let's chill with A. Sam
I be pouring out my liquor out for all of my fam
In '05 can we stick to the plans
Born on the block so a nigga understand
I wanna get away but a nigga never ran
Take my time before I lay up in the sand
What you gon do man, is what they ask me
Never did a nigga nothing but the hate gon pass me
Still harass me, Lord don't let them blast me
Never ever shed a tear but my eyes stay glassy
But still I try to maintain
Ran for the shed but still got the rain
Heard about drug but still got the pain
L.A. meant God and left me in stains
Shit be so hard, where we hang at
You don't wanna get caught up where we bang at
A lot of this shit I wish I could bring back
A whole 'nother day but it's still the same track
But this can't be life, Lord please tell me why
So why should I try, to stay in the fight
When these streets ain't my home, and these niggas are so wrong
I want so much more, before I reach the other side
Oh yeah, before I reach, before I reach, where I'm from
Said this can't be life, Lord please tell me why
So why should I try, to stay in the fight
When these streets ain't my home, and these niggas are so wrong
I want so much more, before I reach the other side
Before, before I reach, oh yeah
