[00:40.370] |
i used to hop picket fences. drop into the next crib |
[00:43.050] |
dodge speedin' benzes to get to where to my friends lived |
[00:45.000] |
|
[00:45.740] |
now it's pullin' out whips from the crib |
[00:47.860] |
tryna shine. mad problems when everything's so expensive |
[00:50.000] |
|
[00:50.600] |
my life. i'm tryna find a way to live it |
[00:53.100] |
surrounded by bullshit. deal with it every minute |
[00:55.540] |
'cause homies'll hate you, but they'll never admit it |
[00:58.030] |
i'm just tryna find the straight path leading to the finish |
[01:00.710] |
it's hard to find something worth believing in these days |
[01:03.140] |
troubles got me thinkin' of returning to thief ways |
[01:05.710] |
night terrors always making me sleep late |
[01:08.200] |
maybe all the drama is the reason that we blaze |
[01:11.070] |
cops claim permission to use light force |
[01:13.070] |
put your face on the pavement, your new white forces |
[01:15.690] |
covered in mud. a mom's tears thicker than blood |
[01:18.560] |
i guess even in the midst of darkness, there's good. huh |
[01:20.000] |
|
[01:20.930] |
what's the meaning of life, if there aint love |
[01:23.170] |
and nobody to trust when u need it |
[01:25.670] |
there are many things, in the world u see |
[01:28.160] |
but it just aint what it seems |
[01:30.600] |
so i keep on fighting for my dreams |
[01:33.280] |
take a step with my feet |
[01:34.530] |
following my heartbeat |
[01:36.210] |
praise the one for the life, love and faith |
[01:39.460] |
|
[01:40.770] |
i remember holdin' onto crushes. tryna be sweet |
[01:43.270] |
i used to stumble on my words whenever that girl speak |
[01:45.000] |
|
[01:45.890] |
and so i'd put it down in letters on some looseleaf sheets |
[01:48.000] |
|
[01:48.320] |
i would've traded anything for just a kiss on the cheek |
[01:50.000] |
|
[01:50.940] |
and now. bigger dreams. tryna get on tv |
[01:53.630] |
but even with exposure, will the right girl see me? |
[01:56.180] |
the nice kind of girl, they don't ever believe me |
[01:58.680] |
and the other type of chick give it up way too easy |
[02:01.300] |
but get caught up, you get slowed down |
[02:03.550] |
i need a lady raisin' me up, and holdin' me down |
[02:06.170] |
it's hard to find something genuine now |
[02:08.410] |
instead of momentary passions happening when you're in town |
[02:11.000] |
|
[02:11.220] |
i'm sick of kisses that are less intimate than a hug |
[02:13.590] |
they lack sentiment. kinda like the stems of a bud |
[02:16.280] |
but every once in a while, it feel the way that it should |
[02:18.830] |
i guess even in the midst of nothing, there's love. huh |
[02:21.570] |
what's the meaning of life, if there aint love |
[02:23.880] |
and nobody to trust when u need it |
[02:26.250] |
there are many things, in the world u see |
[02:28.750] |
but it just aint what it seems |
[02:30.740] |
|
[02:31.300] |
so i keep on fighting for my dreams |
[02:33.920] |
take a step with my feet |
[02:35.170] |
following my heartbeat |
[02:36.790] |
praise the one for the life, love and faith |
[02:40.050] |
|
[02:41.600] |
i seen light in this tunnel. shining mad bright |
[02:44.100] |
but the shining's gone dim and i been stuck in that night |
[02:46.590] |
illumination gave me vision. let me see what was right |
[02:49.020] |
but now illumination's missing and i've lost my sight |
[02:51.580] |
a little lost in this darkness. needing some changing |
[02:54.080] |
i had sight then i lost it. but His grace is amazing |
[02:56.700] |
still i'm struck with guilt at times. the feeling is ancient |
[02:59.130] |
don't know how much longer i can say that this doesn't faze me |
[03:02.000] |
|
[03:02.010] |
after introspection i can see why they blame me |
[03:04.500] |
looking back i wonder if it's really the same me |
[03:07.000] |
and certain insecurities are picking me daily |
[03:09.310] |
man, i've hurt so many girls. pissed 'cause this one played me |
[03:11.000] |
|
[03:11.990] |
homies betrayed me. left me for good |
[03:14.360] |
so i'm shaky. what's faker than a false brotherhood? |
[03:16.670] |
only Jesus can save me. need help from above |
[03:19.230] |
i know even in the midst of hate, God is love. what |
[03:22.160] |
what's the meaning of life, if there aint love |
[03:24.410] |
and nobody to trust when u need it |
[03:26.720] |
there are many things, in the world u see |
[03:29.400] |
but it just aint what it seems |
[03:31.890] |
so i keep on fighting for my dreams |
[03:34.580] |
take a step with my feet |
[03:35.830] |
following my heartbeat |
[03:37.140] |
|
[03:37.750] |
praise the one for the life, love and faith |
[03:40.500] |
|
[03:42.310] |
