I used to think that the money could fix it all
The energy given off,
Was that of peace, So I tend to not get involved
After toting, slanging a pistol
A few run ins with the law
I admit a lot of my issues, It seems that I was the cause
So tell me who do you call, when you got no one to call
I got, a lot of problems, won't even vent to my dogs
I hold it in feeling trapped and yet I created them walls
Trying to pick up all of the pieces I dropped everytime I'd fall
Insecurity, my reflection, now I hate to look
Trying to get close to God while burning this Acacia Bush
Know I need food that feeds my soul, but I hate to cook
Don't read a page out of my life, nigga, just take the book
The whole thing
We done been through a lot so trust me nigga, I know pain
Stayed down 'cause I heard a slow gain better than no gain
I could've died a few times on that Frontline
Gun shots screaming "Your soul is needed", God must didn't want mine
And Im grateful
Ain't no way that you could make me think I'm not the chosen one
Yeah
Ain't got to tell me God real, look at life and I just know it's one
'Cause they thought I would be
Locked up, shot, or dead right now, No
We on the way to the bread right now, Yeah
Locked up, shot, or dead right now, No
We on the way to the bread right now, Yeah
Yeah
I feel a way
Am I wrong that I feel a way?
I made a promise to my momma, I'll fullfil a way
I done seen more doors closed than Sundays at a Chic-Fil-A
Never steered my faith
Turned me into what I am today
Awesome
I turned out awesome
Counted me out and then I stunned them
Echelon Steve Austin
Where I'm from you end up locked up or locked down in coffins
I know God is real
He get's me through my problems often
Let's talk respect (Respect?)
What would you do for your respect?
Would you use whats in your check
Just to consider if you're blessed?
I know homies reading texts
I know homies shooting Techs
They might not like it, but like Nike
They'll just do it for a check
Gang
Gang mentality
Got my dogs on the side of me
Hear they say that they proud of me
I don't feel the love
My name soon worth a salary
Thank the Lord, 'cause he guiding me
Send a prayer, get blessings sent down from up above
They assumed wrong
Ain't no way that you could make me think I'm not the chosen one
Yeah
Ain't got to tell me God real, look at life and I just know it's one
'Cause they thought I would be
Locked up, shot, or dead right now, No
We on the way to the bread right now, Yeah
Locked up, shot, or dead right now, No
We on the way to the bread right now, Yeah
