Hehehe
These are my words to my firstborn
Can you picture young n***as in a rush to grow
'Til hard-timers in
The pen' had to crush his throat
Probably never even saw it comin'
Too busy bullshittin'
Caught him with his mouth runnin'
Ain't this a *****
They got me twisted in this game
The feds and the punk police
Pointin' pistols at my brain
I wonder if I'm wrong 'cause
I'm thugged out
My homies murdered execution
Style runnin' in the ** house
What was supposed to be a easy
Now **** is flipped
'Cause n***as died over ********
It's not my dream I'm seein'
Pictures of a broken man
No witnesses only the
Questions of who smoked the man
Young adolescents in our
Prime live a life of crime
Though it ain't logical
We hobble through these tryin' times
Livin' blind Lord help
Me with my troubled soul
Why all my homies had to die
'Fore they got to grow
And right before I put my
Head on the pillow say a prayer
One love to the thugs in heaven
I'll see you there
It's written for the young
And dumb that wasn't warned
Help you make it through the storm
My words to my firstborn feel me
My words to my firstborn
My words to my firstborn
Since my very first day
On this earth I was cursed
So I knew that the birth
Of a child would make my life worse
And though it hurt me
There was no distortion
'Cause wild seeds can't grow
We need more abortions
Quiet your soul
'Cause you know what you had to do
And so did victims of
A world they never came to
I understand it's a better day comin'
Sometimes cats be
Sleepin' on the dead end
Drivin' with the car runnin'
Blinded ain't no love
In the hood only hearts torn
Love letters to the innocent and unborn
All the babies that died up on the table
Wasn't able to breathe
'Cause the family wasn't able
Can't blame her I would do the same
All I could give her
Was my debt and my last name
'Cause in the game things change
Livin' up and down
This hard life got me
Walkin' with my head down
Flashin' frowns wasn't
Meant to be was I wrong
But I'll never get to know
So I carry on
It's written for the young
And dumb that wasn't born
My words to my firstborn feel me
My words to my firstborn
Mmm yeah
These are the words to my firstborn
Two thousand somethin'
Somethin' mention a new era
A n***a's too real
Now see **** too clear
See there's more than
Just this scrilla and this tilt
This is finda
Dawg–the velvet and the silk
And makin' sure my kittens got they milk
Hoo gotta fill this mattress
Let my kids know I'm at this
Attack this the Mack must roll hood stroll
Ain't no question is it
Above the Law hustlers
If it's related to chips
Homie we'll handle ya
Yo although we never take advantage
Though we always into ery'thang
By all means stack green gangsta lean
They say money make the world go 'round
So only associate yourself
With paper chasers and
That's truly down
And keep God first
And give thanks for the good times
As well as when it hurts
It's player haters every corner
Touchin' their tits hella thick
Tryin' to get you for yo' grip
I know you stressed-out and fed-up
But come out gun-blazin'
And keep yo' head up
You can call it what you want to
But it ain't gon' change
Above the Law 2Pac
OG's in this rap game
And we done lived a long hard life
And we done shed so
Many tears under these bright lights
Y'all although we grew
Up corrupted and scorned
We still got a lot of
Wisdom to give to our firstborn
Brooken light
We're all getting know what's happen
Tomorrow what a next day
Okay really off the day
Gonna more
I don't think it's happen
Mother your's know n***a's of no longer existant
I know talking about
Would you don't tell you kill
We can who lose you
Want use you don't
How did you put it down
