take it for what it's worth, my birth was a blessin   sent to live and die on earth as a lesson   we each have a star, all we have to do is find it   once you do, everyone who sees it will be blinded   they tell you that your bright, and say you have a future   once you turn your back, the same cats'll try to shoot ya   niggaz ain't shit, i can live on both sides of the fence   forget what you do when you talk, see what you really meant   thats what i thought, them niggaz was bluffin   they talk all day but say, nothin   it gets so dark,haze so intense   since it first rained, its like its rained ever since   i never got paid for a rhyme, but i flow   i never got a plate on time, but i grow   live your life, stay on the line, but i go   went from doin crime to bein kind cuz i know      (chorus)2x   im gonna live forever, im never gonna die   the only thing i fear is im never gonna fly   carry my weight, but im never gonna cry   shit i'll tell ya'll niggaz straight, cuz im never gonna lie      what is it about who i am that makes me unforgettable?   what is it about what i've done that makes it so incredible?   "more money, more problems"-well the fame was worse   i reached out for love, and what came back was thrist   blessed with the curse, niggaz don't hear me   niggaz don't hear me, ya'll niggaz don't hear me   wat'd I just say? "Nigga g'head" - you see that?   You gots to FEEL ME to catch what I'm sayin, BELIEVE THAT   but leave that, alone   you gon' make a nigga wanna be at your home   Oh you kinda quiet with the heat at, your dome   let the dog out, he's gonna bring back a bone   cause we got the chrome   This is what I live for, or die for   I'm the nigga with that high score, you try for   What you niggaz wanna lie for? It changes nothin   I'm true for cats, yet some strangers bluffin      (chorus)2x      now if i take what he gave me, and use it right   in other words, if i listen, and use the light   then what i say will remain here after im gone   still here on the strength of a song, i live on   No second-guessin on what I stood for, I was good for   stoppin niggaz from killin each other in the hood war   Comin through showin love, throwin up   Them cats not throwin love, you know whassup   Dark Man baby, that's my name   and I gots to be the realest nigga up in this game   Cause ain't no shame, they don't make em like, this no more   Real to the core, big heart but built for war   I stand for what I believe in   Even if what I believe in stops me from breathin   Relatives grievin, but I ain't goin nowhere   Listen to the song I'm right there      (chorus)
