[Intro]
In the face of adversity, I prepared a verse to see
Or hear rather...

[Verse 1]
Destined to win, get respect where I live
My reflection contagious, I`m the messenger here
Making love to the streets, they be lusting for bread
They ain`t sleeping until they know every customer fed
When the city was chocolate, there was death in the air
All I`m hearing is AIDS, I ain`t deaf in my ear
Nah … I ain`t deaf in my ear
But he push them whites in the hood like Ray Edmond was there
Shout out to Kirbo, he told me I would make it
Now me, Tony, G, and Tre got the keys to the nation
Pray for peace with the babies, they a beast in the summer
Of course he fiending for trouble, he had a fiend for a mother
Got no leaders among him, got no loyalty either
Once the police get to cuffing, bet his homie deceive him
See, it`s cold where they be at, on that boat like a pirate
Politicians f**king hookers, why you mad at my ganja?
Kick him out of the city, force them whites who can pay up
Still different ablers killing over what isn`t theirs
Lost my ni**a over nothing though
Saeed Alisha I miss you, god bless my brother`s soul

[Hook]
I feel something change in the weather, and I`m home, home, home
Don`t let it drift away like a feather and I`m home, home, home
And oh, I gotta find my way
Oh I gotta face the day
But oh I can`t stay away, not never, your my home, home, home

[Verse 2]
Look, I lost my ni**a over nothing though
Saeed Alisha I miss you, god bless my brother`s soul
Ricky is sitting, Baba was sitting
Caught up and slipping for fearing a McDonald`s position
Seen it over a dollar, got him under a flower
Funeral drama, ni**as mystery baby mamas
They ain`t really for condoms, I just think that it`s shocking
Got no fear in no officer, they be scared of them doctors
I`m aware that there`s problems, know Obama gon` stop it
Where there`s minimal conscience and there`s thousands of choppers
I know Howard that college, but that town has some problems
I done seen embalming fluid ruin a ni**a promise
Little women be mommas, little ni**as ain`t fathers
Ain`t nobody here leading, it`s way too easy to follow
They knee deep in today, ain`t too fond of tomorrow
Although it gets you paper, I pray you weighing your options
This is soulful my ni**a, I`m hoping I am giving a hope to my ni**a
We just soldiers my ni**a, don`t know you my ni**a but know you my ni**a
This is soulful my ni**a, hope that I am giving some hope to my ni**a
We just soldiers my ni**a, don`t know you my ni**a but know you my ni**a
Ni**a, know you my...
And you know my ni**a
Know you my...
Look...

[Hook]

[Verse 3]
A king`s assassination is why most often fear the hell
So needless to say this, leadership is not with a timid sail
I pray these words live and these gimmicks fail and
I pray whenever I`m seen in my city I forever resemble Braille
May your trees be loud, and your queens be proud
May you see your dreams allowed, before you see them from a cloud
May your glass never reach half-empty, may your enemies find the inner-peace before it ever get to beef
I wish you, wealth, health, and pact-free women for yourself and the s**t ain`t the best, hope these lyrics help...my ni**a

[Hook]

[Outro]
See I made it from home, see I made it alone
And all these peasant motherf**kers take shots at the throne
Time after time, again and again
They wanna see a ni**a lose but I`m destined to win
