Yeah soldiers take orders
African warriors take off
You know what I'm talking about
Dead prayers what it do man
Yeah we in this struggle together nigga,
I know you're back against the wall baby
I know you probably think me
standing on the blacktop?
Blowing this weed in the air,
pumping this crack, right?
ain't no work for a felon
That's how they want it though,
They'd rather give a nigga life
and though I play my part to it
I'm a product of thug livin',
Livin' my life on the edge
Gettin' this money, but nigga,
This life we live, nigga, is suicidal
We been poor, it's hard just bein' that
But harder than that, nigga,
You livin' like you grown,
you out there in the cold
You feelin' like you all alone,
just lookin' for some help
you out there in the cold
You feeling like you're all alone
you're looking for some help
Out there struggling, striving,
While sucker niggas ducking and diving
And switching and snitching
I'ma turn this kitchen up
I'm about to get it Africa hot
really 50 niggas in every city,
what more could you tell me?
But some niggas kill me faking
like it's more than it is
I mean I see through them
but they just fuck it up for the kid s
But now I roll with a selected
An d ain't no after that,
they all used to blow trees
And reason bout what's really
So I'ma sit here and do it too,
about to give you a perl, perl
When you livin' like you grown,
you out there in the cold
You feelin' like you all alone,
you lookin' for some help
When you livin' like you grown,
you out there in the cold
You feelin' like you all alone,
you lookin' for some help
My life was saturated block
with the glitter and glisten
Dead prayers I tried to tell em
but my people wouldn't listen
Now death returns to the home,
like that nigga Nat Turner
Keep my hand on my Bible,
Even though it's like life in a pen
Being black, nigga, was one
just came home from jail, dawg,
all they did was open my cell
This cracker system still
The only way to go is up,
I need my freedom, now I don't need it
when I'm dead and I'm gone
Every hood I see the same
Just gotta maintain, keep my focus,
Cause I'm living like you grown
You out there in the cold
You feeling like you all alone
You looking for some help
You out there in the cold
You feeling like you all alone
You looking for some help
Ay, just look in the mirror, black man
What is your purpose on this earth?
What is you ridin' for, homeboy?
Is you ridin' for a cause?
If you ain't, you ain't doin' shit,
You just another statistic, nigga
You know what I'm talkin' about?
But even harder than that,
Set up for a nigga to lose, man
My advice to you, brother,
We in this shit together,
