[Chorus
-
Andre
Merritt]
Been
holding
this
pain
inside
for
so
long
Though
the
rain
never
goes
away
They
say
I
should
leave
these
streets
behind
me
But
its
so
hard
to
escape,
Oh
lord
please
send
me
an
angel
To
lead
me
out
of
this
place,
Send
me
a
away,
Far
away
To
better
days
[The
Game]
The
first
thing
I
wanna
do
is
say
wat
up
to
TI,
King
of
the
south,
now
everybody
see
why,
Im
just
driving
and
thinking
why
I
survived
here,
And
I
aint
seen
dre
and
eminem
in
5
years,
That
sound
shady
right,
I
live
a
crazy
life,
So
many
black
thoughts
I
had
to
paint
the
mercedes
white,
I
can
tell
you
about
the
rims
but
I
aint
here
for
that,
Going
out
like
big
and
pac
I
fear
for
that,
Take
this
lambo
and
put
6
holes
in
it,
Shatter
the
glass
and
leave
my
body
exposed
in
it,
Lift
the
doors
up
and
let
all
my
demons
out,
And
I
can
see
my
brother
now
cos
thats
what
I
been
dreaming
bout,
I
aint
thinking
bout
bitches
or
pulling
beemers
out,
Im
thinking
bout
my
son
safety
everytime
they
leave
the
house,
I
know
how
to
make
it
out
the
hood
I
seen
the
route,
And
heres
the
proof
me
venus
and
serena
out,
[Chorus

Im
sitting
on
these
stairs
at
this
church,
Bout
to
start
a
verse
And
somewhere
in
the
world
somebody
about
to
start
a
hoarse,
Tell
me
who
inside
it,
whos
son
is
that,
And
how
he
get
there,
now
tell
me
who
gun
is
that,
I
aint
saying
confess
definietly
aint
saying
snitch,
But
if
you
kiled
the
n-gga
help
his
momma
dig
his
ditch,
Im
from
the
hood
where
n-gga
gotta
keep
their
gun
cocked,
Kids
wear
dre
beats
to
stop
the
sound
of
gun
shots,
But
at
least
they
got
the
dre
beats
cos
kids
in
africa
aint
even
got
shoes
on
they
feet,
And
I
seen
it
on
my
own
eyes
at
the
same
time
I
picking
flys
off
my
own
eyes,
Can
you
feel
that,
if
you
can
hear
them
buzzing,
You
can
feel
the
pain
of
Mike
Tyson
and
his
baby
mother,
They
lost
there
baby
daughter
and
she
was
only
3
She
never
got
a
chance
to
blossom
on
the
family
tree,

We
got
a
new
president
and
I
love
that
he
black,
But
Imma
ask
him
like
bush,
where
the
soldiers
at?
Now
move
the
camera
to
new
orleans
where
the
soldiers
at,
The
water
dried
up
well
n-gga
do
you
know
they
clap
We
all
juveniles
we
all
been
through
some
trials,
And
some
tribulations,
Im
in
this
booth
pacing,
What
do
I
say
next,
should
I
talk
about
some
cars
Or
the
next
chapter
of
my
life
and
show
you
all
my
scars,
Or
my
bullet
wounds
and
my
stab
wounds,
Cant
show
you
I
covered
them
up
with
tattoos,
I
cant
do
nothing
but
spit
the
truth,
On
probation
smoking
drink
patron
before
I
hit
the
booth,
You
making
songs
for
the
clubs
while
n-ggas
drinking,
I
make
em
for
the
ride
home
when
n-ggas
stinking,
One
minute
you
here,
next
minute
sh-t
is
tragic,
And
its
a
Jim
Johnsin
track
now
fill
this
stack
[Chorus
