Yeah, the battles only half the war Struggle between humble and savagery, pull me back and forth I'm just a killer whose baptism y'all waited for I'm just an angel who gets his wings from the druggy store I'm taking ankles and laying the ball up at the cup I'm taking angles at niggas who can not show me up A lot of them they show me love They better ask LA or they can ask me where I'm from I'll scream it because they have my trust I've seen the city search for the light in the darkest moments I've seen my brothers pull out and kill brothers without warning Left a mama mourning Left their minds in torment On me they remain dormant Made it another morning Around here where the nights is never promised Where they worry about the strength that's in your wallet Not your knowledge If you say go and get it then I got em Getting rowdy in the function Oh yeah ain't no doubt about it And sometimes we get carried away And sometimes we get carried away To a place where we die for our street Or we die by police Mamas watching us get carried away We don't even close our eyes when we sleep We survive then we weep Because at times we get too carried away Carry me from distance Mama cooking in the kitchen On the couch I'm chilling She love the happy look on my face Never ever got a sentence Living to fulfill wishes If I get it with the pencil Put them silver spoons right next to them plates And it's lobster for our dinner in a dining room Under chandeliers and step out balconies u see a view We came along way from the corners where they peek at u And monsters whipping Mazda's and they choppers playin peek a Boo Ranging ranging ranging now we running from a gunman Sorry mama, I'm the littest in the function repercussions Came from nothing Ima turn it into something since they hunting Came from where the killers dwell Now I hope my album sell To a place where we die for our street Or we die by police Mamas watching us get carried away To a place where we hide when they creep Or we ride, gun in seat Roll the window down and then we go spray To a place where they ride on our street Felt the lies and deceit Lost a homie now we retaliate To a place where we cry when we sleep I survive but I'm weak Lord forgive me please for my heavens sake

I've got to find a place to hideaway Far from the shadows of my mind Sunlight and laughter, love ever after Oh, how I long to find a place to hide away I hear you whisper and I must obey Blindly I follow where you lead Knowing tomorrow, brings only sorrow Where can I go to find a place to hide away? Bright coloured pinwheels go round in my head I run through the mist of the wine But night and the music remind me instead The world once was mine (once was mine) I'll save my pennies for a rainy day (save them for a rainy day) But where can I buy another you? Dreams are for sleeping, love is for weeping Oh, how I long to find a place to hide away But night and the music remind me instead The world once was mine (world once was mine) I'll save my pennies for a rainy day (save them for a rainy day) But where can I buy another you? Dreams are for sleeping, love is for weeping Oh, how I long to find a place to hide away

When I was young If I just closed my eyes Then I could go anywhere Dream of any place Imagination set the pace And my heart was happy there What a shame that you came Round and told me Said my dreams can't come true "Don't be foolish Give up your wish Big things aren't for you" And how you'd scold and chide me Forever criticize me But now I think I know the truth You were the one Who held me down and told me I was heading nowhere You said know your place Accept your fate and show good face And be thankful that you're there That was so long ago When you owned me I believed it was true Bend me shape me Build me break me Why was I your fool? And now I'm so much stronger I'm not yours any longer I've got a message here for you Time for you to learn It's my turn I won't be held down any longer I've waited all my life and finally it's here It all begins A chance to win A dream that's been a lifetime An endless vast uphill climb The day I've waited for is drawing near Hey wait turn and show your face I've got a lot to say And you're not going anywhere You lose; the time you ruled me's through I'm in control I own my soul And I'll never go back there Wasted years that I spent Never knowing I was kept, I was used Never-ending Condescending Now I just refuse I don't care what it costs me I know I almost lost me Won't spend another day confused You rose I fell Made my life hell Anything to crush my soul Anything to feel control Finally free I've come so far Finally see how sick you are I spent my life degraded But I won't leave here jaded I'll start again and finally prove Time for you to learn It's my turn I won't be held down any longer I've waited all my life and finally it's here It all begins A chance to win A dream that's been a lifetime An endless vast uphill climb The day I've waited for is drawing near

I met a man He had a dream I tried to understand But nothing was what it seemed Sometimes, that's how gods roll We'd sit for hours He'd share his plans To build a universe And make every part by hand A big scheme with an infinite goal So I would watch and listen and try to learn As pieces and bits became whole But there is more going on than the work at hand What I learned had to do with the strength of the soul There's a light that shines And it's power is mine! Though our body's weak and breakable The spirit is indomitable! So, step by step And frame by frame A world's created Its map fashioned from a stain Just dream big then work 'til it grows I learned this lesson We can evolve Achieving anything As long as our heart's resolved Believing will make it so Though our lives are limited by years on Earth Our dreams won't be bound inside The goal's not to live forever 'Cause eternity loves the creations of time There's a light that shines And it's power is mine! Though our body's weak and breakable The spirit is indomitable! Don't be afraid! Get up, get going A step everyday I'll meet you there When we strive, we transcend Even death cannot end our climb! I wasn't ready You can't prepare For the unthinkable For something that's so unfair It's cruel but that's how life goes But through the sadness Thousands of tears We see his message Sparkling and crystal clear Our work is larger than we know! There's a light that shines And it's power is mine! Though our body's weak and breakable The spirit is indomitable!

I like Charlie Daniels and I love big John Cash And I think Waylon "Woktosha" Jennings Is a table thumpin' smash Playin' with Marshall Tucker Band Was as good as smokin' grass But if you don't like Hank Williams You can kiss our ass Cause I think what they done Is well worth doin' And their doin' it the Best way that they can Oh you're the only one That you are screwin' When you put down what You don't understand I love all them Allman Brothers, Merle Haggard, and George Jones Shotgun Willie Nelson and them Rockin' rollin' Stones Everything the Eagles do And I'm in love with Linda Rondstat Anybody that don't like Hank Williams You can kiss our ass Cause I think what they done Is well worth doin' And their doin' it the Best way that they can Oh you're the only one That you are screwin' When you put down what You don't understand I ain't sayin' that he was The first or the last But if you don't like Hank Williams You can kiss our ass
