I finally got the fame and

Fortune that I prayed for

Who would have thought

I would emerge from all that gun smoke

This for all the teenagers that wanna gun tote

'Cause they cheaper in the

Hood than in the gun store on God

You gon' lose a lot of your

Friends and that's what hurt the most

You can't do nothin' but reminisce

About y'all crackin' jokes

You feelin' like nobody love you

I know how that go

You gotta love yourself

Lil' nigga that's gon' help you glow on God

I know it might sound lame

But just stay in school 21

They got a place that they

Put people who don't follow rules yeah

You probably got your mama scared

Don't wanna watch the news

Ready to risk your life

And freedom for a pair of shoes

Yeah you say you love your switch

But they don't love you back

You can hug that block all night

It ain't gon' hug you back facts

Some of your friends gon'

Reincarnate and come back as rats p***y

And after your candlelight

They ain't gon' give your mama jack

Now your brother kids askin'

Where they daddy at

So you gotta lie and tell

'Em he just took a nap damn

You done failed in the streets

So now you tryna rap

But that ain't really workin'

For you so it's back to trap

When it's all said and done

There's some things you can't run from

It's hard to decide

Either live or you die

I I ask myself was it all worth the risk

'Cause I can't pretend yeah

I can't stand the thought of losing you

I know how it feel to see

Your dawgs stretched out on God

And watch him struggle tryna

Let his last breath out damn

You don't wanna do it but you

Lost some real niggas that you gotta step out

One more seat left in the car

You gotta help out yeah

Niggas stressed out yeah yeah

Probably why I tell

The kids to put the guns down oh facts

Gangsta but I still cry when nobody around

Tryna numb the pain

Drinkin' bottles 'til I drown

Never do no suicide

But I'd be lyin' if

I said it hadn't crossed my mind

I hurt on the inside and

I still act like I'm fine

Why the judge give my nigga

Paul all that time Free Paul

Heard they lockin' niggas up

For what they put in rhymes

Standin' on this **** oh

**** it I'm still writin' mine **** 'em oh

This what growth look like

No more committin' crimes 21

I stayed out the way and made

A way for us to grind

When it's all said and done

There's some things you can't run from

It's hard to decide

Either live or you die live

I I ask myself

Was it all worth the risk

'Cause I can't pretend yeah

I can't stand the thought of losing you

All my dawgs too

Forever-ever Eastside Eastside

This **** 'posed to be for life

Jumpin' **** since we was five 21

We got that fire we was nine

Even though I'm up up

You can see the pain in my eyes

I mean like **** love on God

But either way I'm still gon' try

****** up 21

Seein' my twin on Channel 5

I 'cause even gangsters cry

I I I

Gangsters cry

Even gangsters cry

I I I

Even gangsters cry

21 21

My son this is your time

I know your heart

And I've watched you rise above many challenges

And you have made me so proud

I pray for many more fulfilling experiences

As you elevate to new levels

Of growth purpose and success

Dreams really do come true

By the grace of the source of life so be it
