I never thought it would be like this

I never knew what the price is now I'm wondering what life is

(x2)

Yours Truly, accept my shortcomings
When I’m in tour duty the weapons are sure gunnin
Never been the type from stepping to short running
Stretchin in every direction lettin yours coming,
Rather die on my feet than live on my knees
But the drugs had me bout ready to live on the street
I was trapped wit that monster of addiction that be-
In my mind all the time cuz he’s livin with me
Balancin my life on the edge of the knife
Wonderin when im a fall down the middle get sliced
Its like I never could decifer the riddle just right,
So God, its me again I need a little advice-
Poor man is cryin
On your abandoned island
Aint see the fake friends til the door slammed behind ‘em
But God I never thought it would be like this
Yours Truly…

I never thought it would be like this

I never knew what the price is now I'm wondering what life is

(x2)

Yours Truly, I’m halfway there
I started going to the meetings but I’m halfway scared
As we go around the room ‘my name’s Pat-hey there’
Damn-but I aint never seen a rat play fair-
The dude next to me says he aint been high all year,
They clap, as I sit back and recline in my chair,
What do I do now, should I hide all fear-
Naw-I been there, that’s why I’m here
As I exit the meeting
Feel my chest and its beating
For the first time realize I’m blessed for breathin
Every decision life and death in between ‘em
So I definitely here for an excellent reason
They never understood why my songs sounded different
Celebrator or hater, they all bound to listen,
‘cuz I’m the truth no toupes or wigs
but I’d give my life for a new way to live
Yours Truly…

I never thought it would be like this

I never knew what the price is now I'm wondering what life is

I don’t know why this world is so cold
I don’t know why this world is so cold

Why we all can’t stop the madness
It aint about who the flyest or who the baddest
It's about ya being smart know ya mathematics
Growing up in the streets that can end up tragic
Want ya chill with the fellas smoke weed, drink Hennessey,
Think they ya friend but they worst than ya enemies,
Can’t trust a soul in these cold, cold world,
Ya so call best friend a try to shag your girl…
We got to try and stay away from this gun and drugs
Stop identifying each other by hoes and thugs
We got make a better life for up comin generation
We like in the same hood, kid why you hatin
We got to deal with same common situation
Young youths dying we got to start trying,
To make a change, forget about diamonds, rings,
Nice bling and start using your brain

I don’t know why this world is so cold
I don’t know why this world is so cold

Being dead’s the worst dream
I cling on my feet in fled when I’m seeing the feds the first thing
Is meds and perks clean and heater led
But I used to straight pee in the bed at thirteen
Do coke, dope, smoke hash and spray around
Got good flows but no cash to lay it down
Ladies get a kick off oils and ex pills
And babies getting sick off spoilin breast milk
Turn shoulders, earnt diplomas, comas
Deceased up when them niggaz squirt they boners
Reckless smoking marijuana cops and
Detectives hopin starin on the corner watching
Rocks and gram packs from skinny man
And then cops will plant crack in ya Minivan
Damn now they sluts is straight achin' and fear AIDS
And pagers that’ll run butt naked for spare change

I don’t know why this world is so cold
I don’t know why this world is so cold

Yo…Yo…I think about the rough times I had
Growin up in da streets wit out havin a Dad,
I seen so much, trust this world is sad,
Little kids in da streets with guns and mags.
You walk around sayin that you got protection
You need to be protecting your brain man that’s the weapon
With great power comes great responsibilities.
And so with that said I hope you got the right utilities,
Be a leader you don’t want to be a follower,
Tryin to get a girl and all you could do is follow her.
So hold up man you got to know the knowledge,
Get a diploma you know you got to go to college.
So why you stand there and act all stupid.
On the block selling crack all stupid,
You look all stupid
You don’t need a gun man to prove that you tough
We got to stop the violence enough is enough.

I don’t know why this world is so cold
I don’t know why this world is so cold

Do you really know what's in it?

Hey ya, hey ya…
As I fell into a deep sleep,
It all began…
The night was warm,
The moon was bright
All the girls wore their tight jeans and mini skirts,
Watched all the boys kick game, wanting to flirt.
Drink 1, Drink 2, third one’s on you.
He looked like a
Smelled like a
Decent dude.
But once he bought her that drink
Her life was through.
No recollection thereafter- just the
Sight of her unclothed body, bruises that scarred her,
And the fear of what the doctor would state the diagnose would be.
Which STD? God knows she prayed it wouldn’t be HIV. Humnp
I wake- to my heart punching my chest, as I look around I am safe.
365 days later-
Hey ya, hey ya…
This night was warm, the moon was bright.
All the girls wore their tight jeans and mini skirts.
As I watch all the boys kick game, wanting to flirt.
This must be dejavu
Drink 1, Drink 2, (hey cutie) third one’s on you.
He look like a,
dress like a,
smell like a
decent dude
This gotta be dejavu.
He spoke the same words when he
Offered me that Bacardi.
Realizations crept up into my mind-
My dream had warned me-
Do you really know what’s in that drink?
As I crawled back to reality-
My reply was
“Not I- but thank you.”

I hear you when you tell your life is rough
And that your depressin
I hear exactly what your talking about
When you tell me you're stressin

Life ain't fair good friends are rare
They wouldn't dare if they care
Life is tough you can't get enough
They wouldn't dare if they care

Sitting there just wasting your mind
Seems like a waste of time
Thinking things like this will ease your pain
You'll find it's there to stay

Life ain't fair good friends are rare
They wouldn't dare if they care
Life is tough you can't get enough
They wouldn't dare if they care

Don't go through it
There's more to it
Once you're trapped into it you can't get yourself out it
Just be smart
Please deny it
Once you deny it you'll feel better about it

Life ain't fair good friends are rare
But they wouldn't dare if they care
Life is tough you can't get enough
But they wouldn't dare if they care

Think about every move you make before you make it
Think about every rule you break before you break it
Think about every consequence before you put yourself within these dangers of life you gotta think twice

He felt the pain deep in his soul it's holding him back
Watching his pops beat on his moms and cut up the crack
He wasn’t sure if it was love that was keeping him tact
A chip off the iceberg he said it fell on his back
Oh what a struggle to go through with no one to hold you
It’s easy to fall and fall like your clothes do
The views of these old dudes is keeping me strong
So many victims of poverty I got to move on
Can’t follow the next man I builds my own
Try to be like my dad nah nigga you wrong
I mean I grind for mine I put in time for mine
But put my hands on a lady you must of lost your mind
Im a listen to myself when I say it
Now your game out and didn’t learn how to play it
Think about… it everything seems easy when you first see it
Til you get involved now you wishing you can leave it

Think about every move you make before you make it
Think about every rule you break before you break it
Think about every consequence before you put yourself within these dangers of life you gotta think twice

Since he was young he was a menace rappers gave an image
He would always start something but he wouldn’t finish
Love sports then rapping became his passion
He aint give a fuck that’s how he was acting
The weed and the liquor took over his life
The blunt and the bottle was a different mic
He lived a different life spent less time with his son, less time with his brother
Hated his father and disrespected his mother
What made it worst his father was there for him
His father really cared for him
He said in my house you can’t use them drugs
And your boys aint your boys you better lose them thugs
But he wouldn’t listen had money from hustling
But couldn’t pay attention
Til one day a deal went bad he got stabbed
Now he’s looking back realizing what he had

Think about every move you make before you make it
Think about every rule you break before you break it
Think about every consequence before you put yourself within these dangers of life you gotta think twice

Think about every move you make before you make it
