Misunderstood as a child my childhood was not good
My parents split had minimal supervision
At six brother born with crack inside his system
Disposition inside a white American's vision of this lawyer who predicted we'd be another statistic
But wait a minute
These words out of my mouth
Dark past to teach you, life lessons to reach you
Made it out the hood, nothing bout me that's see through
I imagine the flood, coming over
Slowly submersing your rover, 40 nights I'm Noah
Only the best flowers, keeping life
I did it grandpa
Yeah me and my wife split
Got two beautiful kids I wanted this life
To give them a better one even after I die
What you know bout sacrifice
I paid the price for my, vices, women, nicest linen
I'd do it all again just to take care of my children
I show you my pain and hope that you listen so you
Can take a better path maybe do some better math
Or choose a better map coast like a hovercraft
On this river of life there is nothing that's telegraphed
Here's a spacecraft to blast through the overcast
Sunshine if you forget, grab your phonograph
Put it in your ear and listen like it's a polygraph
Give you nothing but truth
My words no allograph
Watch me put life in these photographs
Nah nah you can't hurt my soul
Nah nah can't hurt my soul
As I deliver the truth and the pain of this fame
Come and I'll give it to you
Nah nah you can't hurt my soul
Nah nah can't hurt my soul
As I deliver the truth and the pain of my fame
Come let me give it to you
Touch down step off in the land of ice
Supermodels, everywhere with gold bottles
Charlie's angels, cuz they moving at full throttle
Look in their eyes no love it's all hollow
Keep searching, maybe I will meet her tomorrow
Or is it really you that I'm talking to
You're one woman how you keep so many aloof
I use my mind-it's like all you want is a brute
Cock back, aim and squeeze I shoot from the booth
Man down catch bodies to only have you
To my self, selfish, loyal promised to myself never let them destroy you
The anger the rage my blood starts to boil
I speak deep, they superficial, top soil
They say hate is confused admiration
I think it's a piss poor excuse cuz you didn't make it
You couldn't take it so you just fake it and you get wasted
I got time but on you never waste it
That's why the people say it's y'all I'm replacing
God put it on soul so I'll get it off my chest
First mentor he ghost he no longer flesh
God, why he have a heart attack in his sleep
Not to question a higher power but what about she
The wife, the kids, and what about we
His mentees big brother met overseas
In, kadena pham but Will hailed from chucktown
SC, dub d, RIP salute
A veteran but even more of man that's truth
The most benevolent
Nah nah you can't hurt my soul
Nah nah can't hurt my soul
As I deliver the truth and the pain of this fame
Come and I'll give it to you
Nah nah you can't hurt my soul
Nah nah can't hurt my soul
As I deliver the truth and the pain of my fame
Come let me give it to you
