hold up, stop ma, let me get a look you
damn girl ain't see you since prom
come to think 'bout it can't believe it been that long
girl I heard your man locked down
now how long you gone oh that long
how the hell he get time like that
3 strikes for possesion aww he ain't coming back
he left you with two kids and bills all around
plus she found out he had another chick 'cross town
it's always the darkest before the sunrise
and you gotta stay strong for the kids and their eyes
and please dont despise and go against all brothers
and have a hatered your heart and take it out on another
I hate to sound Tupac-ish but mama you keep your head up
but your gonna make it I promise you keep your head up
and that, that dont kill you only makes you stronger
and the will to succeed only feed the hunger
for real, for real, for real,
(ha-haha-ha-ha)
hey ooh

I was at the gas station when a man walked passed
with a sign will work for food, clothes or cash
and he asked if he could pump my gas so I let him
clean the windsheild and throw out the trash so i let him
hey I even asked the brother his name,
where he was from, got kids man and whats there ages
he kinda stared for a second he kinnda looked suprised
that anyone would even take an intrest in his life
he said young brother there the only words I've heard in the last year was a no or get the fuck away from here
how could something so simple as general conversation
mean much more than general conversation
hey you could tell life had beaten him down
like he was in the title fight, and this might be his last round
sometimes the easiest things we take for granted
until their gone and realized we even had it
for real, for real, for real
(ha-haha-ha-ha)
hey ooh
n dey say ooh oooh ooh
(ha-haha-ha-ha)
n dey say ooh oooh ooh
I used to think that life had a plan for me
until I realized life had to be planned by me
see thats the key
I only deal with what I can see
cuz over history
mystery brought us nothing but misery
name on people and I
and the name of the lord
that in any natural disaster, diesease or gang wars
before guns there was swords
and they was killing each other
ain't much changed to this day we still killing each other
killing our brothers while another mother cries for help
man we need to help a brother find himself
feed'em, light 1 2 3
hey theres something every brother should see
and thats for real,
and thats for real,
and thats for real
hey ooh ooh ohh
n dey say ooh ooh ohh
(ha-haha-ha-ha)
hey ooh ooh ohh
ni dey say ooh ooh ohh
(ha-haha-ha-ha)
