Now I've seen places and faces and things
You ain't never thought about thinkin'
If you ain't peeped then you must be
Drinkin' and smokin' pretending that you're loc' in
But you're broken lem me get you open
And little Johny got this diploma
And little Jimmy got life
And Tamika round the corner
Just took her first hit off the pipe
The other homey shot the other homey
And ran off with his 20
And when the other homies heard about it
They thought it was funny
But who's the dummy
Cause you just lost a hustler
A down ass brother been replaced by a buster
And thought I got love for you, I know I can't trust you
Cause my crew is rollin' hummers
And your crew is rollin' dusters
And just because of that you act
Like you don't like a brother no more
I guess that's just the way it go
I ain't tryin' to preach
I believe I can reach
But your mind ain't prepared
More temptation than faith
I guess we're living for the pay
I seen a man get swept off his feet by
The situations so twisted everybody gettin' lifted
I'm just trying to take care of my kids
And handle my business
Now it's way too serious
So you got to pay close attention
So you don't get caught slippin'
When it comes to doin' all the gettin'
Life is a big game
So you got to play it with a big heart
Some of us gotta run a little fast
Cause we gotta lay the start
I'd bee a fool to surrender
When I know I could be a contender
If everybody's a sinner
Then everybody can be a winner
No matter you rag colour deep down we all brothers
And we gonna see the time
Somebody out there still loves us
I'm gonna scuffle and struggle
Until I'm breathless and weak
I done strived my whole life
To reach the mountain peak
Always keep reachin'
Be sure to grab hold of something
I'll be there when you get there
When you hear the sounds
