[Shabazz the Disciple] Aiyo, the ways of this world, leave you confused You better be careful in those you choose If you not the glory at a man who sinning For though not know what it be's in Tried and in front, and sip a verse of tea Despite when the bullets feel the worse in me Try not to succumb to me, versus we No matter cursing me, or my diversity Both hands defeat, then dance with meals As long as suffering, is what this life and tales So many of my n***as got k**ed in jail So many obstacles here to tilt the scale Hidden away, yet those are forsaken And ran out of patience, roll up with Satan Hold on the fate, when they closing the gate n***as know only the souls, yet the chosen forsake Grip it like a prison bar, cage us in I never look imporant to the majoring Trying hard to avoid these raging sin Cuz when you slumber by the grave, then you majoring I stand up by the scene, shorty grab my hat Staring at the sky, I can hear the die Too many of my peoples shed tears and bled I watch 'em take my last breath right there in the bed Yo, I do what I gotta do, to feed my kids I will be the first one to bleed if they need a rip Sacrifice the rest, and let them bleed to live And if you think you succede, I could see again It's like I'm losing my religion, and survive this world that I'm living
So confused by decision Before I go to prison or end up smuggling dirt With my soul risen, I pray I'm forgiven [Chorus w/ ad-libs] [Shabazz the Disciple] We living in a world full of lust and hate Surrounded by bricks in the rusty gate n***as'll rush you, wait, plus everyday struggle Need to scruff the scrape, give me the flush of fate n***as be heading upstate on the bus with gray Police and the judge want justice date Causing us to break, showed us the tape What it took God, one breath, dust to make Using lies in this prison, to make a wise decision Hypnotized by the God, and the sky religion Everybody want a slice, when the pie is risen Despise women that in the light, State I division Use the government, roast, and they poison you They flood the whole block with the boys in blue Who be hara**ing, f**ing with the boys and you Bring out the boy in you, no need to calling you Get it cleared out in the air, and the vest to do And no one has the answers If you live, most likely, you arrested, boo And the rest gon' die from cancer Why they arrest in the cardiac, in the air with the cogniac No one cares where the party at Til my muthaf**in' ba*tard stops, and my casket drops And the lady in the gra** to rot Look at my platoon stalls get ga**ed alot I meditate, pray and fast alot... I meditate, pray and fast alot The reason why I survive and fell off Cuz I can see sh** before it happens The most high almost leads you the narrowest escape He not, then he asking trapping So many times life flash right before my eyes And my soul til it touch the sky I ask why, I'm still alive, doing 5-to-7 And the 7 is God, and God is why, uh Until it closes my eyes, and my soul touch the sky I give praise to the most high Until it closes my eyes, and my soul touch the sky I give praise to the most high [Chorus]
