(? ) know what I'm sayin?    I got fiend and mac in here. these soldiers, warriors   Know what I'm sayin? and survivors know but   We're in serious times.      [chorus - fiend]   I said all our soldiers in the streets   Life ain't always guaranteed   (there's no guarantee)   Some of this aimed for you and me   But it's a ghetto war   So be all you can be      [fiend]   That's why your big brother fiend gon holler   And I really meant, I don't wanna be here if I don't gotta   Not tryin to discourage, a lotta   But look in my eyes   Even though we camouflaged I can't disguise the pain we got   Inside   That's why I ride all night   Smokin till I can't smoke no more   Wanna forget some of the shit we saw   With that old dirty four oh   Wanna give money to the poor folk   But got one eighty and one quarter   Splitin that three ways   That's between my momma, sister and her daughter      [chorus] x 2      [mac]   This life shit is way so serious   Don't wanna question you lord, but I'm so curious   I sleep amongst killers I don't know who to trust   I meet beucoup bitches and now it's cool to fuck   I made it from nothin to havin little change   Now niggas in my hood they look at me strange   I live for the moment 'cause I'm afraid of my future   Don't let me die, oh lord why   I look myself in my eyes and I see why thugs cry   Shell shocked, I get that from my pops   And he told me keep it cocked, so I keep it cocked   Life is but a dream and we all seein   And if seein is believin, don't wake me up this evening   Woah!      [chorus] x 2      [silkk]   All I know, is I don't wanna go   But I don't wanna be here either   If I gotta be here killin and sellin dope   The world is a ghetto   And I be wonderin if y'all could be feelin my pain   Tryin to put it down the best way I know how   When I'm gone y'all can remember my name   If I die tomorrow, don't be sorry   Let it be known I told the truth   And never know what's gon happen when I'm done rappin   Doin my song, in this booth   And if I die, tell p he keeps my legacy alive   My chance was slim   And if it had to happen, let it be known   I'm glad it happened to me, instead of them   Now desperate times call for desperate measures   Ain't no pleasure in killin   Ain't no pleasure either in going without feedin for weeks   Have you ever had that feeling?    No guarantees, lord please, can't bring back the past   Can't buy time either, so I guess what's the use of havin cash?    And look now, penitentiary's packed   With niggas who had dreams to be rich   Man spend a little bit, have a little something   Dead men can't spend shit   I'll trade some of this money for this pain   Trade some of this money for this fame   P nigga you think it's easy dog   But it ain't 'cause I been with you throughout this game      [mo b dick]   I thought we could flip keys together   I thought we could make g's together   Now I know what's going on   I gotta make these dollars all night long   I thought you saw the bigger picture   How could you betray your closest nigga?    How can I ever trust you again?    Tell me, man      [silkk]   Yo fiend, yo mac.   It's real.   Gotta be able to do it.   So many niggas wanna see you fall dog.   We gon ball y'all, for real.
