*Lightning strikes*
I believe in you, not because of you but because of God that is in you
I pray to God will cause you to soar
High above an eagle, high above the thoughts of others, higher than high
Thank you my brothers and sisters for what you have done
And I know that we are not through yet for this is just the beginning
However, words cannot express my love, check, check
I caused mo' strain, pain and anguish
On my grandmama and my granddaddy
Than all nine other children, combined, phone calls from jail
I'm goin' through hell, I'm talkin' to 'em through glass, please, relax now
I'm put 'em in predicaments on multiple occasions
I can still hear 'em tellin' me "I be damned, Jason"
Used to beat me upside the head with a Bible "Boy, boy, boy"
I can still hear 'em prayin' for me "Lord, Lord, Lord
Please, do somethin' with the baby we done raised"
It's when I was well beyond or way past the age
Of accountability and what I did was all me
But they felt it was on them "I miss you, Grandpa, uh" (Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord)
That man didn't play no games, kept it one hundred
He taught me to worship Jesus (Amen), taught me to get money (Ha!)
Taught me to keep a straight face, even when I was scared
And it was by his guidance that I came out prepared, and, uh
(And it was by his guidance that I came out prepared, and, uh)
We die how we live, we live how we die
If someone were to ask me tonight:
"Stak, what's yo' biggest regret in this life?
It's that we only get one time to get it right?"
We die how we live, we live how we die
If someone were to ask me tonight:
"Stak, what's yo' biggest regret in this life?
It's that we only get one time to get it right?"
Let me get my ink pen (Uh), ya done got me started, thinkin' (Yeah)
Writing down my recollections, recalling my reflections
The bodies, of murdered children
Maybe when the death toll reach a million
They'll do somethin' but until then
These children needs real men
Willin' to stand up for them, as well as they sell
'Cause we share the common ground of passing through hell
Where nobody got no Daddy and some people got no momma
Used to go holla at my partner like "Hey, man, I need to borrow yo' momma"
"Mrs. Thompson, I promise that we only did it once
Now she say she pregnant, excuse my language, but I'm scared as fuck
I'm seventeen, I'm not cut out to be nobody daddy"
Now I wonder what would happen had lil' gal had that baby
Maybe I'd be preachin', maybe I'd be killed
Out there on the spot tryna get diapers and Enfamil
My mistakes are pages in a book about me
And I'm so amazed it didn't end at chapter twenty three, ya feel me?
We die how we live, we live how we die
If someone were to ask me tonight:
"Stak, what's yo' biggest regret in this life?
It's that we only get one time to get it right?"
We die how we live, we live how we die
If someone were to ask me tonight:
"Stak, what's yo' biggest regret in this life?
It's that we only get one time to get it right?"
I fail so many times, I said "What's the point of gettin' up?"
I made it to a place where I ain't even give a-schhh…
Jason, give it up, ya dreamin', they told me
Outta there tryna make a demo outta quarter-schhh…
God had his hands, his hands on me
In time, I learned how to pray for my enemy
If you see me fighting a tiger, please, come fast
Before I beat the stripes off his big dumb ass
I remember back when I was gone
My people searched the whole house, I just wasn't at home
They leave a light on so I can find my way back in
And pray before they go to bed that I get back again
I came so far since then
God got me out when the devil had me fenced in, but that's just my opinion
And it oughta be yours, if you got common sense
'Cause I rock cross country from L.A. to Providence, praise God
Well, we die one time
You crazy, you think I'ma waste mine
I said we live and die one time
Oh-oh-oh-oh! (One time, one time, one time, one time)
We die how we live, we live how we die
If someone were to ask me tonight:
"Stak, what's yo' biggest regret in this life?
It's that we only get one time to get it right?"
We die how we live, we live how we die
If someone were to ask me tonight:
"Stak, what's yo' biggest regret in this life?
It's that we only get one time to get it right?"
