Lyrics

Police remain unclear as to how an altercation
Between Body Tap co-owner Ashley Jewell
And another club employee turned deadly
Overnight, authorities were called to the popular venue following a fight
Jewell, better known as A.J., died a short time later at Piedmont Hospital
Where he's said to have suffered severe injuries to the head
Too many suckas out with knives in their hand
I pray the industry give some real **** a chance
Give a real **** an advance, help him get out the street
Help him with a legit way to help his family eat
I might be screaming, "Rest in Peace!"
To A.J. every time I'm passing M66
Lost my ****, was a real boss
I was rocking Nikes and you told me, "Young ****, take 'em off"
Gucci slippers, brown bottom, sole said that's how you floss
When we was up in 112, blacks only stand up in the jail
And let 'em know that we in here, we in here
Never will I give up, tapping out is not an option
I'ma keep grinding and preaching for the streets
Who go through problems in day-to-day life
Trying to swim with these great whites
And they trying to hold me down
They still trying to down, down, down
I'ma keep grinding and preaching for the streets
Who go through problems in day-to-day life
Who got **** locked down
**** that won't be around, 'round, 'round
I'm stuck in my ways, soldier-like mentality
Not knowing how to fake kick it with this industry
Finna' dick-ride, got no pride, only fuck with those who already in
Shine away from brothers with real sins, making amends
To the left side, had a vision of DJ'ing heaven up with Left Eye
Every time Pimp C name is mentioned, can't help but bring tears to my eyes
Knowing all the pain my homie feeling
Praying for better nights, better days
2Pac, Dawg, I feel the same, 'cause they don't give a fuck about us
They doubt us and try to divide us
We united, they divide us
Knowing all the pain my homie feeling
Praying for better nights, better days
2Pac, Dawg, I feel the same, 'cause they doubt us
We united, they divide us
I'ma keep grinding and preaching for the streets
Who go through problems in day-to-day life
Trying to swim with these great whites
They still trying to hold me down, down, down
I'ma keep grinding and preaching for the streets
Who go through problems in day-to-day life
Who got **** locked down
**** that won't be around, 'round, 'round
One more road to cross, one more risk to take
But will I make it? Do I even wanna make it?
I see what happen to me by these **** faking
But scared to be another, same thing, it's an undercover
And 'til the world knows that my casket's shut
I'm DTE to the death, let me know where your breath is
Where the dough's at?
To stop calling out pussies, I know somebody relate
Like in Houston and Cali, Oakland and New York
Where the passion for music strong as a newborn
And I'm the mentor (I'm), you still in Head Start
I done been through it all, they want the real to fall
But I refuse to fall
I'ma keep grinding and preaching for the streets
Who go through problems in day-to-day life
Trying to swim with these great whites
They still trying to hold me down, down, down
I'ma keep grinding and preaching for the streets
Who go through problems in day-to-day life
Who got **** locked down
**** that won't be around, 'round, 'round
