Rebirth

If I die before I wake, at least I lived life my way

Hope that you remember me, came up fast, bittersweet

Please prepare me mentally, 'fore you take my soul and empty me

Now that you're no longer a lord that's trapped

You have graduated to the Hood Pope

You have made it to represent your people (Show them another way)

Be the voice of the people who couldn't make it out the hood

Make sure my family good, my ma still in the hood

I ain't rich like they think 'cause I copped me one mink

They think I got me a house with a big couch and a gold sink

With a model bitch with a gold ring, big ass fish in a fish tank

Haha! You laughin', just put me in my casket

I ain't even into nagging, is what it is, I'm passin'

And though times is hard now, your success awaits them

I'm no different, we all the same

Ferg made it out? Well, I can play that game

You're not exempt from the growing chain

You're just a kid who's afraid to change

Yet a trapped lord I will remain

Hood Pope, I'ma teach these confused folks how to maneuver

Through folks and attention, get you choked, you know

Slim model girls sniffin' the coke, fiend on the block slick in the door

I wanna help, I don’t know, tell me the antidote

How you hood and a pope? Conscious thinking, ghetto though

I'll teach you how to build a grow tree, life like a bike and pedal slow

Now you're the voice of the guys on the corners

And the kids who have no direction, guide them

Through the trials and the tribulations

Teach them the world can be accumulated with patience

If I die before I wake, at least I lived life my way

Hope that you remember me, came up fast, bittersweet

Please prepare me mentally, 'fore you take my soul and empty me
