Righteous Minds

Yeah make sure my **** sound tight

I never knew the world could be this mad

Only vision I had of sex was Color Me Badd

And I never knew the world could be this cold

Only time a n***a die he was playing a role

But now n***as get their souls stole' so often

They only thing they offer dreamers is a wake and a coffin

From NY to Compton down to Austin

She said that orphans morph into abortions without precaution

Problem with our people there's too many wannabe Jordan

Too many forces thinking they could make a fortune scorin'

Too many wannabe actors instead of achieving their masters

At least a bachelors but no too many wannabe rappers hah

That's just statistics don't mistake me for hypocrites

Like n***as in the White House supplying Wite-Out

On Jim Crow laws you probably missed it

Hard to be persistent when

You're tryin' to fight for your existence

It ain't easy livin' life like this

When you tryin' to be righteous but know a n***a might just

Leave you lifeless for prices or high tech devices

So keep that TEC-9 or meet your crisis

Yo it ain't easy livin' life like this

When you tryin' to be righteous but know a n***a might just

Leave you lifeless for prices or high tech devices

So keep that TEC-9 or meet your crisis

Person mad nervous you surrender to sterling

Look them in the eye if looks made

You die you know you merk 'em

Right there plus his hide is like right here

So you know that if you would fight fair then

You'd have him like quite scared

But don't forget the TEC held high by your right ear

So listen loud and clear you don't wanna lose your life dear

Don't you show a slight tear or let 'em sight fear

Just let 'em disappear in

The night air yeah with yo' Nike Airs

Robbed by the crackheads left alone in the apartments

Mothers be jobless so they make dollars shaking it topless and

Daddy been gone said he took off like ostrich

Since he gain knowledge

I'm keeping it with the synopsis and

**** like that make you wish you were adopted

To escape the pain you join a gang and get intoxicated

Have no shame nothing wrong with some Mary Jane

The only thing is you do it again

And again

It ain't easy livin' life like this

When you tryin' to be righteous but know a n***a might just

Leave you lifeless for prices or high tech devices

So keep that TEC-9 or meet your crisis

Yo it ain't easy livin' life like this

When you tryin' to be righteous but know a n***a might just

Leave you lifeless for prices or high tech devices

So keep that TEC-9 or meet your crisis

Imagine me fed up a go-getter for mo' cheddar

Po' never blow Berettas 'cause I know no better

No Era no STEEZ no Kirk no Lee

No school no OG no talent no me

What if I just ain't act right

What if I pack crack white with

My sack tight join the gat fight

The click-clack type slide in the vipe with the black stripe

And give my friends the back knife 'cause that's life n***a

It ain't easy livin' life like this

When you tryin' to be righteous but know a n***a might just

Leave you lifeless for prices or high tech devices

So keep that TEC-9 or meet your crisis

Yo it ain't easy livin' life like this

When you tryin' to be righteous but know a n***a might just

Leave you lifeless for prices or high tech devices

So keep that TEC-9 or meet your crisis

It ain't easy livin' life like this

When you tryin' to be righteous but know a n***a might just

Leave you lifeless for prices or high tech devices

So keep that TEC-9 or meet your crisis

Yo it ain't easy livin' life like this

When you tryin' to be righteous but know a n***a might just

Leave you lifeless for prices or high tech devices

So keep that TEC-9 or meet your crisis

Crisis crisis
