It was prophesized, dat i would die, before da age of 25
Home went black, the towers fell, but thru it all i still survive
Mezmarized by all da lies, holdin all this pain inside
Wishin i could see her face, and hold her tight just one more time
Maybe if i realized, wut was goin on it time
My babygirl wouldn't be so far, yet standin rite here by my side
Crucified, i let it die, the inner demon here inside
But no ones ever seen me sigh, i refused to let em hear me cry
I bite my tougne in every scene, every beef, and every time
I let these people talk bout me, even though they're tellin lies
Is it a crime to wanna ride, instead standin in the line
Of fire, I retire, prayin someone comes and helps me smile
Everytime i turn around, i feel it buried in my spine
Stabbin me, it damaged me, tell that man take bacc his knife
What makes it even worse my brother, that you went it did it twice
And thru it all, i still move on, I won't let the devil take my life
It's still the same mess, and the same stress, that's keepin me from my progress
And unless, i protest, it's gonna keep beatin up my concieous
My heart burns, my soul yerns, my many nights are sleepless
I'm tired, and wired, and ready to spazz off nonsense
But higher is a power, for that i'm willin to invest
My whole life, for this strife, to pack on up and exit
So I can be free, to be me, no one will think i'm crazy
But maybe, just maybe, i was the victim of life's shady
Times and, trials and, I'm tryna be good for my child and
Violence has rised and, I dunno how to keep from wildin
But lyin, would be smilin, when I really feel like cryin
But for what, dumb luck, i need a boat to get off this island
This cold world, has burned souls, and send my people to the fire
As iron, raises higher, and prayer begins to expire
But the blood poured, on sins floors, and I know he died for mine
And I shall, return the favor, I thank the lord I’m still alive
