Uhh... yeah... uhh...[verse 1 (nas)]Blessings in life to the childrenThey say life is like 5 daysWords of a old man with silver hair in his wheel chairHis eyes were bloody while describin what lies before meSaid evil *****es and jealous men would try to destroy meIt occurred to me, this old niggas words couldnt be realerIm on top now, slightest drama, Ill have ta kill yaCuz animals and sweetness, sharks smell blood in waterIshmael, moses and job, moved a divine orderShit is plastic material, havin no lifeI crash whips and leave it no matter the priceAs long as I survive, coppin the fiveCircle the block where the beefs atAnd park in front of my enemys eyesThey see that its war we life stealersHollow tip, lead busters theres no heaven or hellDead is dead, *****ersAnd your soul is with godYour mind keeps lurkin to earthWatchin your own murder reoccur[chorus (repeat 2x)]For ever struggle, every strip, and every ghettoFor every nigga toned in the pain and heavy metalFor every child thats bornAnd every nigga goneAnd for every brotha breathinLive to see another mornin[verse 2 (blitz)]Its blitz nigga the streets glory many die for meGot knocked refused 3 to 9s, went to trial for meBasically Im just reality loaded with vast storiesOf lust, greed, and contempt no street is exemptExtended clip shots hoods barricaded for 6 blocksI sip shots, watchin em hustlers pitch rocksAll you paintin pictures of my painIllustrate the city in vainFallin deep into the pits of the gameThis is for the sickest state of mindIn these fatal times, vesh crimesNickel play the nine and niggas for the dimeHear the sounds of them babys cryStill Im sayin why do we resideIn the ghetto with a million ways to dieStayin high to relieve the painBreathin in the game, exhalinGuilts and the shame, misery and strainWhat the ***** will tomorrow bringLook at anthrax, I stand back throughHopin I make it tomorrow[verse 3 (nas)]My skin is a art gallery, rightWith paintings of crucifixesHopin to save me from all the dangers in the music businessWas once a young gangsta hangin with youth offendersBut since I tasted paper it started losin the friendshipsWatchin kids freeze in winters, they still poorHow could I tease them with benzs and feel no remorseDrivin past them in the lively fashion, diamond colors clashinRed stones, blue stones, red bones and black ones***** did I expect with bucket seats in a lexAnd spendin time in chuckie cheese with little desGot guns when Im with my daughterHate to bring a violent aura in her presenceShe knows what daddy taught her, its lessonsBlack princess its a ugly worldI put my life up for yours, see I love that girlCould you believe even my shadows jealousMy skin is mad at my flesh, my flesh hates my own bonesMy brain hates my heart, my heart makes the songsThough my songs come from the fatherIm lonely...Hold me, its gettin darker[repeat chorus 2x]
