so i take another step, and one more breath closer to death.    there's things going on in this world that got me stressed.    lately i find myself searching my soul. looking for signs of life, a warmth in the cold.    i'm young and restless and they want me to fold.    i'm hard headed, i ain't never did shit i was told.    i get too mad too fast over too much shit,    but i put too much heart into the words i spit.    maybe i'm too proud, maybe i scream too loud...   but what goes in, must come out.   and i'm hurting inside.    i can't show it.    obstructed by pride.    i ain't being hard i just don't know why.    fuck tomorrow if i live or i die.    who comes first?   you not before i.    i'm still a ways off from my lofty goals,    so fuck those who oppose and those who's acting like ho's.    i ain't got time for ya'll.    focus my goals.    i chose.    c'mon now, you just write ryhmes...i recite lifelines.    you're in it for the long haul...i'm in it for a lifetime.    let a brother try to come between me and mine.    i'll lie cheat and steal to keep feeding mine.    that's the deal and that's for real, by any means.    am i wrong because i want the finer things in life?    hell no.    take this world by storm.       all i ever wanted was a taste of.    all i ever wanted was a piece of what i could not have.
