I wanna dedicate this song to the young god, Kareem[00:00:02]
The Genius... Digi...[00:00:08]
Sing it 'em to real quick, yo[00:00:20]
Like to keep my head up to the sky[00:00:21]
And ask myself, why, it has to be this way[00:00:25]
I'd like to live my life in peace[00:00:30]
And have, not to worry about[00:00:34]
All the drama, I can't take[00:00:37]
Cuz we strive for luxury[00:00:42]
And try to feed our families[00:00:44]
It always seems that someone seen our way[00:00:47]
I'd like to live my life in peace[00:00:52]
And have, not to worry about[00:00:55]
All the drama, I can't take[00:00:59]
I met a young brother, about 28[00:01:03]
Who seemed intelligent and rather quite straight[00:01:06]
I greeted him, and struck a conversation[00:01:09]
To see if the youngster had some self motivation[00:01:12]
Peace brother, whats your name? How you be?[00:01:14]
(I'm Rugged Monk and I'm all about the currency)[00:01:18]
You mean gettin' paid?[00:01:20]
Yeah like my man's brother[00:01:21]
Who has a condo, he shares with his baby mother[00:01:23]
You know a condo beats my apartment[00:01:25]
With no lights, no gas and backed up rent[00:01:28]
No hot water or heat, infested with plenty rats[00:01:31]
That'll eat up the average alley cat[00:01:34]
(I'm like damn, homey, thats poverty, he's like)[00:01:36]
Word O.G. that bothers me[00:01:40]
Plus I'm about to be a new father, G[00:01:41]
(We need to wise up and change the hood policy)[00:01:44]
Like to keep my head up to the sky[00:01:47]
And ask myself, why, it has to be this way[00:01:50]
I'd like to live my life in peace[00:01:56]
And have, not to worry about[00:01:59]
All the drama, I can't take[00:02:03]
Cuz we strive for luxury[00:02:07]
And try to feed our families[00:02:10]
It always seems that someone seen our way[00:02:12]
I'd like to live my life in peace[00:02:17]
And have, not to worry about[00:02:21]
All the drama, I can't take[00:02:24]
Yo, why you fear the devil, as a grown man?[00:02:28]
Why you not out there trying to make your own plan?[00:02:32]
See we are a victim, of a situation[00:02:34]
Where a wicked man, separated the nation[00:02:37]
And got us killin' off one another[00:02:40]
Black on black, they pit brother on brother[00:02:43]
It's gettin' hot, hotter than July[00:02:45]
See the murder and crime rate is risin' to the sky[00:02:48]
(For example, in my neighborhood it's so hot[00:02:50]
I'm often woke up, from the alarming sounding of a shot, so I'm thinking what)[00:02:53]
Is your neighborhood a trap?[00:02:56]
{Could this be the place marked X on the map?}[00:02:59]
(And I'm spotted like a target in a shooting gallery[00:03:01]
So I strive to seek for a better salary[00:03:04]
So I can escape from where? From this ghetto life area[00:03:06]
{Cuz everyday it gets scarier}[00:03:09]
Like to keep my head up to the sky[00:03:12]
And ask myself, why, it has to be this way[00:03:16]
I'd like to live my life in peace[00:03:21]
And have, not to worry about[00:03:25]
All the drama, I can't take[00:03:27]
Cuz we strive for luxury[00:03:32]
And try to feed our families[00:03:35]
It always seems that someone seen our way[00:03:38]
I'd like to live my life in peace[00:03:42]
And have, not to worry about[00:03:46]
All the drama, I can't take[00:03:50]
