Life will let you get away with something for a while
But sooner or later, you will pay the price
When you get the bill, huh, don't be shocked
Don't act like you don't understand
Everything you do in life causes the effects that you experience
And when you get that bill, be prepared to pay
When the moment of reckoning comes
You may feel as if you're unable to forgive yourself
You may be too proud to ask for forgiveness
There may be no way you can make amends or restitution
In the worst case scenario
You may be faced with all of these possibilities at the same time
And should that happen, remember this
Life knows what you're capable of
The only reason life has taken the time
To point out your shortcomings and nasty habits
Is that life wants you to act like you know who you are
This is called self-support, self-care, and self-love
Until today you may not have realized
That you have allowed others to be involved in a crime against you
You may have allowed them to support you in sacrificing yourself
And believing that you were helping or serving them
Just for today, don't be a yes person
Take care of yourself
Don't give what you have or what you need
Be supportive and self-loving enough to say no
And in the words of the master, Malcolm X
As-salamu alaykum, my brother
Why must all my good brothers go?
I'm asking God, that's the question I wanna know, know, know
So I'm asking Him why
I think about you, why these tears is in my eyes?
But I know God got a soldier in the sky, sky, sky
So he's gon' be alright
Coming from Jersey, got the word, Live's gone (Live)
Heltz Gang CD on, pump a Live song (Yeah)
I think back, we was on tour
You was rocking my chain, I was rocking yours
Made me feel kinda strange, I can't even cry (Cry)
Maybe 'cause I'm used to hearing my people die
Another casualty of war
But actually, I don't understand, so I'm asking the Lord (Lord, Lord)
What's it all for? Treated like dogs on all fours
Pain like we caught in a bear trap, the laws paused
Take a short pause and reminisce
Pain make me wanna forget, so my memory limited
How you finish it? We just beginning it
My homies died for this, so I'm living it (Yup)
Why a million? Wish I could bring 'em back too
I think it's time for my loose leaf tattoo (Yeah)
Why must all my good brothers go?
I'm asking God, that's the question I wanna know, know, know
So I'm asking Him why
I think about you, why these tears is in my eyes?
But I know God got a soldier in the sky, sky, sky
So he's gon' be alright
Yup, how do I say goodbye when I just said hi?
When I just saw you riding by
When I just said those nights was fly
Now I look at your seed and I see you when I look in his eyes
How can I be the same
Knowing one day it's my turn to leave the game?
I try to find ways to ease the pain
Keep tripping, sipping V.S.O.P. 'cause my G was slain
While I'm writing, tears soaking the page
I'm so in a rage, I'm so in a daze
I'm still in denial, I'm blowing my haze
I can't get no higher, I'm going insane
If you can hear me and you watching me now
Give me a sign, something I can see now
Ayo, I'm struggling to make it out of the hood, son
Damn, they took another good one
Why must all my good brothers go?
I'm asking God, that's the question I wanna know, know, know
So I'm asking Him why
I think about you, why these tears is in my eyes?
But I know God got a soldier in the sky, sky, sky
So he's gon' be alright
Life crazy, a maze can have you puzzled (Puzzled)
Head high, so I stand above my troubles (I'm out here)
I sit and build with myself (Yeah)
Obama's right, change is better for your health (Oh yeah)
First, it started with the crabs in the barrel
My path straighter, used to be a little narrow (Uh)
I had to make my circle tighter (Tighter)
No snakes allowed or crabs in my cypher (No)
Still I'm praying for my homies in the system (My children)
It's kinda hard trying not to fall victim (Yeah)
Shine brighter than the sun, this is my solar system (It's yours)
Ninety degrees, flow sharper than a prism (Uh)
Pain is more fuel to the fire (Fire)
To get me closer to them things I desire (I need it)
Trying to cool off 'cause I'm moving through the fire (It's hot, man)
Pipe better than trees, swear it gets me higher (I like it)
I had to put a leash on my anger (Anger)
Shit is crazy, rest in peace to Live Banger (R.I.P.)
Another soldier gone but not forgotten (Never that)
The truth will always shine, we get it popping (Uh)
