| I greet the Father, on my knees
|
| With a bowed head and a humbled heart, my conversation is have mercy on me
|
| please
|
| I just wanna be happy, will it come to bad
|
| Fresh out of my mind been 27 years, and every day I’ve seen is sad
|
| Even though I’ve tried till I’ve cried, I can’t even stand
|
| Feels like I’ve died a thousand times, but just can’t make it man
|
| Ain’t nothing different about me, doing dirt
|
| Except I’ve never crept up on a come up, maybe that’s why the hustling hurts
|
| I remember just like it was yesterday, I’m 16
|
| Can’t find no love can’t find no peace, I wonder what it means
|
| Could it be because, I didn’t choose the devil all the time
|
| I became an outcast to the hood, restricted to my rhyme
|
| Why couldn’t I just live my life, without my talent making danger
|
| Jealousy is now state jail, from friends that turned to strangers
|
| They hate me, I don’t understand why
|
| I swear I never seen a man cry, till it was my own eye
|
| I’m 21, and think I finally got a grip on life
|
| And all bills paid apartment, a step-son and a step-wife
|
| But without a vehicle, it’s kinda hard to get around
|
| If I got weed I ride for free, if not my partners let me down
|
| So now I’m loving to be one deep so much, I’m hating people
|
| Lookin at everybody, even babies like they Satan people
|
| Nobody understand me, everybody’s tripping with me
|
| Wonder why when I gotta ride, were none of my people flipping with me
|
| Too many haters, trying to take a player off his game
|
| Not trying to be ballerific, I’m just trying to have some thangs
|
| They’re just like crabs in a bucket, these people pull me down
|
| If I didn’t have so many obstacles, think where I could be now
|
| On MTV or BET, or in some magazine
|
| Instead I’m stressing, hooked on codeine headed to tragedy
|
| Sometimes I think, it’s better just to die
|
| Because I never seen a man cry, till it was my own eye
|
| (what's happening now) in the year 2006, ain’t nothing changed for 'Ro
|
| 12 albums strong looking for do', but yet I’m still po'
|
| Now I done had and I done lost, and I done had again
|
| On the verge of suicide, I deeply wish I had a friend
|
| But even still a good samaritan, is Z-Ro's way
|
| And with that Christian attitude, I caught a homeboy case
|
| I done took too many blows, a punching bag is how I feel
|
| The deep depression starts to set, sanity’s outta here
|
| I start my mission, trying to find my faith
|
| CDC number four in name, I’m feeling oh so helpless in this place
|
| I want revenge, it’s heavy on my mind
|
| But Aunt Sandra say don’t fight evil with evil, try to relax and do your time
|
| I heard a voice, and felt there wasn’t no need in acting up
|
| Realized I wasn’t at peace with God, and had to patch it up
|
| Hopin that blessings, fall out of the sky
|
| Z-Ro ain’t never seen a man cry, until it was his own eye |
