The Final Answer - It is like I have lost my soul

I woke up sweating the other night,
I had a dream about my life.
I talked with god about my calling right,
I know that I ain’t living right.
Y’all I done seen a lot of things,
I’m 21 but I feel like an old man.
Ain’t nothing but beef in the game,
You ain’t know man,
It’s kind of better if you’re coming up slow man.
People take your head if you roll man,
But I ain’t give a damn, I was throwed man.
I was crazy till I heard from an old man,
You’ve got to keep yourself under control man.
He said to me, son you see,
At this rate you will never make 23,
You will make too many enemies,
And get yourself killed in these streets.
Somebody else said the same thing to me,
It will dog you child,
I try to focus on the game but it’s hard to smile.
Think of all the people y’all,
Who got caught in the game,
No longer with us in this world,
But their presence remains.
I tried hard to roll,
Aggravated, can’t count the cigars I’ve smoked,
Nobody every tells you how far to go,
So I put down the game and went to war.
And bro, I think of all the things I’ve been through,
My kids will never go through what I’ve went through,
If you asked me the things that means the world to me,
It’s got to be my god and my family.
That’s why I’ll never let another sucker handle me,
Through they try,
A lot of stories people tells all falsified,
The say Rob ass lame dog, talking right,
He will never get rich, but at least I tried.
I had the balls to try,
I’d rather let you talk because it’s all a lie.
It is very clear to see you can’t hurt me bro,
I’m steady working bro,
And if it takes me 50 years,
It was worth it bro.
All this time I’ve spent,
I’ve got to be thankful for the rhymes that went,
Ask me why I do it, I will give you a hint,
I’ve got to be a legend, that’s my only intent.
And if I never ever make it, then I guess it wasn’t meant,
For me to go,
Ain’t like I’m really use to walking down streets of gold,
So now, I shoot up duces when I see you bro,
Because if you’re gone being a nuisance,
I don’t need you bro.
All this time I’ve spent, putting it down,
I finally came up in this game,
Now the people want clown,
You can take this as my warning shot,
I’m firing my round,
So prepare for war because it’s going down.

It’s like I’ve lost my soul,
Thrown in the game, now my thoughts are cold.
After years of facing fears, finally caught my goals,
In this game y’all, you only get tossed or rolled.
People hate you dog, so that mark you folks,
So it’s on again,
I’ve tried living right, tried being born again,
But everything I did y’all was a form of sin,
It’s difficult to understand the hearts of men,
Can I make it lord,
Survive and maintain when times are hard,
A lot of people told me know to trust in broads,
But when you’re without your fam,
It's either them or your boys.

Somebody said you’ve got t look above the game,
Knowledge is power so the way you think,
Could be the difference,
When you’re living in a world of hate,
You’re weak standing alone but your strong with faith.
I always kept my faith, it was the only way,
That I could live, in a place so cold,
People roll or chill,
It’s like I’ve sold my soul on a low to chill,
It gets crazy in this game but I’ll keep it real.
I’m buying my time,
Focus and maintain while I writing these rhymes,
While people searching y’all for some faults to find,
I’m laid up in South Asia with a broad from Guam.
And now I am in the race, they can’t stop me y’all,
Cops pissed off, they can’t lock me dog,
Leaping to the top so they call me frog,
I’ve got to thank the lord and my family y’all.
Because I’ve been through a lot and survived it all,
Some people would have quit after that violent fall,
Couldn’t let my career postpone or fall,
I’ve got to make it to the top, or do nothing at all,
But I will still be there when you call.
Some people love the game,
The will die for this shit, putting nothing above the game,
Damn near everybody had homies that died,
And that’s the type of stress that makes the pressure rise.
So I address the skies,
Hoping that this drama done multiply,
Ain’t nobody trying to see a mother cry,
It done struck her veins because her son just died.
To put up with this game, most people get high.

It’s like I’ve lost my soul,
Thrown in the game, now my thoughts are cold.
After years of facing fears, finally caught my goals,
In this game y’all, you only get tossed or rolled.
People hate you dog, so that mark you folks,
So it’s on again,
I’ve tried living right, tried being born again,
But everything I did y’all was a form of sin,
It’s difficult to understand the hearts of men,
Can I make it lord,
Survive and maintain when times are hard,
A lot of people told me know to trust in broads,
But when you’re without your fam,
It's either them or your boys.
