I'm going to show you I'm
it
A right for a right, the wrong for a wrong,
it's just clearly not life's design
Figure out quickly that
nothing gets answered
when you ask the universe why
Life is a journey, to live is to worry,
to love is to lose your damn mind
Living's a blessing,
so I'm not stressing,
cause some of my friends,
they survived
That's the release,
but I'm much bigger pieces
of living on limited time
Like how do you look in the
eyes of a friend
and not cry when you know
that they're dying?
And how do you feel
about yourself
when you notice
sometimes you had wished
they were gone?
Not because you didn't love them,
but just because you felt too
weak to be strong
You couldn't bear to see someone
who prided themselves
on the strength of their weak
The cruelty of randomness holding for ransom
their life and their fate and their dreams
You see that they're fighting
and know that they're losing,
but still you make jokes and you laugh
Cause you know despite all the sadness
that you better get the good
times while they last
Now every new word that they speak
you are already feeling like it's in the past
And when they are gone
you just try to move on
cause the memory's hurting too bad
I've grown up so much
and I wonder who you'd have become
if you stuck for a while
Just know that I love you,
your friend ain't forget you,
now when I remember I smile
And I guess I'd say I'll see you soon
But the truth is that I see you now
Still talk to you like you're around
And I guess I'd say you left too soon
But the truth is that she'll never let
Cause I never let myself forget
And 949, the tooth for the tooth
will leave us all mumbling and blind
So we stumble blind through depths
of the dark looking for something divine
Life is a journey, to live is to suffer,
and I have been suffering through mine
But living's a blessing so I
ain't no stressing
cause some of my niggas ain't rhyming
And he got no drama
but his baby mama
is still on my line and she crying
I search for the words
to give her some comfort for
her soul and spirit in mind
I tell her that it'll be fine,
but deep down I know that I'm blind
The family came to rings and exchange,
the bank took the house and the ride
The only thing left was his child,
and she had a smile in his eyes
So much to the soul
when the grandmama kept her,
she'd look at her sometimes and cry
The very next day she cried,
and day after day she cried
Then called baby mama
and told her I'm sorry,
can't keep her no more, I have tried
No killer was captured,
but I know he listen so I'd
like to tell you a song
the streets was a jungle
I pray that you made it.
I hope that you right at your wrongs.
I hope that you learn
I hope that you change
so your mama won't notice pain
so my homies name will mean something
more than a nigga got killed for a chain
But I guess I say I see you soon
But the truth is that I see you now
Still talk to you like you're around
I guess I say you left too soon,
but the truth is that you nev er left,
cause I never let
Myself again
