Imperfect Flower

Sunshine gon' come with rainy days Codeine take the pain away Kobe at the three, while down by two Dwayne gon' fade away I know they hate I made a way, for my niggas I paved a way I'm at the top, they at the bottom starving Guess that mean it's safe to say That I really came from the trenches They throwing dirt on top my name I got no love for these bitches Fuck all the cameras and the fame, I came in for the riches This Crip shit runnin' in my veins Ask the Lord for forgiveness Just had a talk with Tim mama She say I'm an idol and I lead the way She know this gun not in my title For my life she hit her knees and pray She know that niggas want me dead That's why this Smith & Wesson on my waist She hate the fact that I'm a Crip I throw my C's up them heavyweights It ain't no love inside my heart I left my feelings drowning in a lake I put my trust inside an envelope Then mailed it to another state They tryna judge me by my lifestyle Plus these tats that's on my fuckin' face But I'm a live this fuckin' lifestyle From the cradle to the fuckin' grave How do you know when you love someone? When deep down in your soul you can't love no one When you done done so much, you can't trust no one I feel I'm walking down the wrong road How do you know when you love someone? When deep down in your soul you can't love no one When you done done so much, you can't trust no one I feel I'm walking down the wrong road Standing in court, look back, my mama crying Like son, I told you this so many times Judge told me speak before I caught my time Taught me a lesson, true love hard to find Juvenile prison where the biz' is Belly Locked up, caught gripping with no commissary Living in hell, pray to the missionary Stuck in the cell when my grandma got buried Bloody t-shirts to obituaries I seen them fold in different situations I seen the realest turn fake We slang that K, then it's blood on the pavement I been thugging since I went to Haven I done seen killas make a statement Walking down a long road Look back, don't see nobody waving Turn 'round the corner, jump out with the pole Two Swisher Sweets, a pill, a pack of poles That choppa roll a nigga up like dope Them dolla bills'll make 'em kick yo door We in the field, and that's one thing for sure I had to learn something you taught to hold I'm thinking hard like I ain't thought before That 30 clip is a part of my pose I'm pouring lean 'til I can't pour no more Ride through the streets like I'm not going home What's understood ain't gotta be explained, it's too much goin' on Murder running through my veins like heroin in a needle How do you know when you got love from your people? How do you know when you love someone? When deep down in your soul you can't love no one When you done done so much, you can't trust no one I feel I'm walking down the wrong road How do you know when you love someone? When deep down in your soul you can't love no one When you done done so much, you can't trust no one I feel I'm walking down the wrong road
