Nonfiction - Silent Screams (Remastered)

This for my real niggas, my real niggas
This for my real niggas, my real niggas
This for my real niggas

Ugh
So many thoughts racing through my mind, a mile a minute
Still smoking twisting up that pine, but am I sinning
Steady cruising just to get away, corners I'm bending
Nothing funny like when we was kids, so I ain't grinning
All I seem to talk about is pain, because I'm in it
Nose-deep up in this game of life, but am I winning
Thought I had some friends in my corner, but where they at
Seems like when you ain't dishing out money that's when they scat
Straying away from two-faced people, who wishy-washy
Thank the Lord every day I wake up, he still got me
Wish I could turn back the hands of time, and change something
But knowing what I know today I wouldn't change nothing
People try to play you like you're stupid, but they're the ones
Came to find that life ain't all about bitches and having fun
In the struggle trying to have something repping for the have-nots
Trying to do right by this Hip Hop 'cause this all I got

I'm busta-free but still stressing
I'm trying to keep my mind while I'm grinding for this blessing
They trying to block my shine 'cause I use it as a weapon
But gotta keep that iron just to use it for protection
I'm having vivid dreams waking up in silent screams
I'm having vivid dreams waking up in silent screams
I'm having vivid dreams waking up in silent screams
If you can relate to this then you know just what I mean
Look

You gotta know we systematic slaves, locked in a prison
In a world where only crime pays, but I ain't with it
Government don't give a fuck about us, we fighting demons
Seeming like it's only us against them, we useless eaters
Flying low-class for quite a while, feel like forever
But my soul won't be up for grabs, 'cause I know better
Try to open their mind behind your back they say you crazy
Guess it's all about what you have done for them lately
Gotta concentrate on a foundation for my babies
Got no time for simple niggas I'm chilling with my lady
Wish I had more quality time with my Mama
Keep my head to the stars, I'm sick from all this drama
Don't get high for nothing when I do I'm quantum leaping
Trying to astral-plane but ain't no dodging that reaper
When it's time to weigh in hope I balance the scale
But until then I gotta stay focused and get my mail
Huh

I'm busta-free but still stressing
I'm trying to keep my mind while I'm grinding for this blessing
They trying to block my shine 'cause I use it as a weapon
But gotta keep that iron just to use it for protection
I'm having vivid dreams waking up in silent screams
I'm having vivid dreams waking up in silent screams
I'm having vivid dreams waking up in silent screams
If you can relate to this then you know just what I mean
Look
