they told me 2 pray everday because god is forgivin

but when i look at da world i cant believe da life dat we livin

when you live in tha ghetto there's hardly a right decision

the good life will taint even tha brightest vision

got people hurtin cuz their kinfolks bodies missin

you gotta work 2 jobs so yo child can go 2 tha clinic

thats just like tha government puttin a price on livin 

people think sex is a game so now children are havin children

2 make your family happy you sit ready n willing

but crack kills so thats like somebodies life that you dealin

a smile on ya mothas face now thats tha best of feelins

you know j's try you so you ready your patience

it feels good cuz you paid for your families vacation

your out out and about n for some reason you start thinkin

im makin easy money but people struggle to eat then

you wanna quit but realize dat your 2 deep n

applied for a 9 to 5 but got denied

been searchin for months but dont seem 2 see a bright side

your sisters murdered from a bullet its only right dat tha shooter die

and now your gone 2 from an array of a drive by

with her 2 children gone who's your mama gonna survive by
