As I get a little older, I realize life is perspective and my perspective may
differ from yours. I want to say thank you to everyone that's been down with me, all my
fans, all my beautiful fans, anyone who's ever gave me a lesson, all my people. I come from a
generation of pain where murder is minor, rebellious and more jealous, a trip you for
designer, belt buckles that cloud over zealous and prone to violence, make their own turn, be
your will or the will alignment, residue burn, mist of the inner city, miscommunication to keep
homo detector busy, no protection is risky, desensitize, stop vandalized pain, covered up
and can't get out of it. I want to say thank you to everyone that's been down with me, all my
camouflage, get used to hearing arsenal rain, analyze, risk your life, take the charge, homies
don't f**k your baby mama once you hit the yard, that's culture. 23 hour lockdown, then somebody
calls, said your little nephew was shot down, the culture's involved. I done seen, do 17, hit the
halfway house, get out and get his brains blown out, looking to buy some weed, car wash is played
out, new gold for me, accounts will proceed, a brand new victim will shatter those dreams, the culture.
I said I do this for my culture to let you know what a
likeness and a bulletproof Rova.
In my momma's sofa, was a doodoo popper Hair tricker, walk up closer, ain't no photoshopping
Friends bipolar, *** you by your pockets No option if you froze up, I always play the offense
Going to work and selling work, late for work Working late, praying for work, but he on paperwork
That's the culture, point the finger, promote ya Remote location, witness protection, they gon' hold ya
The streets got me f***ed up, y'all can miss me I'm one to represent for us
New revolution, what's up and moving? I'm in Argentina, wiping my tears from the confusion
Water in between us, another peer's been executed History repeats again, make amends
Then find a f*** with the same skin to do it
But that's the culture, crack a bottle Hard to deal with the pain when you're sober
By tomorrow, we forget the remains, we start over That's the problem, our foundation was trained
To accept whatever follows
Dehumanize, it's insensitive, scrutinize The way we live for you and I
Enemies shook my hand, I can promise I'll meet you
In a land with no equal, it's your equal Never say I ain't told ya
Nah
In a land where hurt people hurt more people
Calling it culture
I want the love, I want the love, I want the love, I want the love, I want the love, I want the love
I want the love, look what I done for you Look what I done for you
Take the drums out
Celebrate new life when it come back around
The purpose is in the lessons we learning now
Sacrifice personal gain over everything
Just to see the next generation better than ours
I wasn't perfect, the skin I was in had truly suffered
Temptation, impatience, everything that the body nurtures
I felt the good, I felt the bad, and I felt the worry
But all in all, my productivity has stayed urgent
Face your fears, always knew that I would make it here
Where the energy is magnified and persevered
Consciousness is synchronized and crystal clear
Euphoria is glorified and made his
Reflecting on my life and what I done
Paid dues, made rules, changed out of love
Them same views, made schools, changed curriculums
But didn't change me staring down the barrel of that gun
*, I feel resentful, I didn't see my full potential
*, I feel regret about the good that I was into
Everything I did was for the good that I was into
Because everything, this ain't coincidental
I woke up that morning with more heart to give you
As I bleed through the speakers, feel my presence
To my brother, to my kids, I'm in heaven
To my mother, to my sis, I'm in heaven
To my father, to my wife, I am serious, this is heaven
To my friends, make sure you count them blessings
To my fans, make sure you make them investments
And to the killer that spared up my demise
I forgive you, just know your soul's in question
I seen the pain in your pupil when that trigger had squeezed
And though you did me gruesome, I was surely relieved
I completed my mission
Wasn't ready to leave
But fulfilled my days, my creator was pleased
I can't stress how I love y'all
I don't need to be in flesh just to hug y'all
The memories wreck you leg just because y'all
Celebrate me with respect, the unity we protect is above all
And Sam, I be watching over you
Make sure my kids watch all my interviews
Make sure you live out our dreams we produce
Keep that genius in your brain on the move
And to my neighborhood, let the good prevail
Make sure them babies and the leaders out of jail
Look for salvation when you're in trouble
Make sure your troubles get real
Cause you can't help the world until you help yourself
And I can't blame the hood the day that I was killed
Y'all had to see it, that's the only way to feel
And though my physical won't reap the benefits
The energy they carry on and mix still
I want you
