I never had much ran with a bad bunch[00:00:11]
Little skinny kid sneakin w**d in my bag lunch[00:00:13]
And all through Junior High we was just gettin by[00:00:16]
And drivebys robbed my homies of their young lives[00:00:18]
I never did cry and even though I had[00:00:21]
Pain in my heart I was hopeless from the start[00:00:23]
They couldn't tell me nothin they all tried to help to help me[00:00:26]
The m*******a had my mind gone it wasn't healthy[00:00:29]
I travelled places caught cases what a ill year[00:00:31]
I felt the pain and the rain but I'm still here[00:00:34]
Never did like the police let the whole world know[00:00:36]
Now I gets no peace cause they chasin me down[00:00:39]
And facin me now what do I do [00:00:42]
These thangs that a Thug goes through[00:00:44]
And still I rise so keep ya head up and make ya mind strong[00:00:46]
It's a struggle every day but you gotta hold on[00:00:50]
Hold on be strong hold on[00:00:52]
Be strong hold on[00:00:54]
When it's on it's on[00:00:55]
Hold on be strong hold on[00:00:57]
Be strong hold on[00:00:59]
When it's on it's on[00:01:00]
Hold on be strong hold on[00:01:02]
Be strong hold on[00:01:04]
When it's on it's on[00:01:05]
Hold on be strong hold on[00:01:07]
Be strong hold on[00:01:09]
When it's on it's on[00:01:10]
There's never a good day cause in my hood they[00:01:13]
Let they AK's pump strays where the kids play[00:01:16]
And every Halloween check out the murder scene[00:01:18]
Can't help but duplicate the violence seen on the screen[00:01:21]
My homies dyin 'fore they get to see they birthdays[00:01:23]
These is the worst days sometimes it hurts to pray[00:01:26]
And even God turned his back on the ghetto youth[00:01:29]
I know that ain't the truth sometimes I look for proof[00:01:31]
I wonder if heaven got a ghetto and if it does[00:01:34]
Does it matter if you blood or you cuz[00:01:37]
Remember how it was the picnics and the parties in the projects[00:01:39]
Small time drinkin gettin high with them armies[00:01:41]
Just another knucklehead kid from the gutter[00:01:44]
I'm dealin with the madness raised by a single mother[00:01:47]
I'm tryin to tell you when it's on[00:01:50]
You gotta keep your head to the sky and be strong most of all hold on[00:01:51]
Hold on be strong hold on[00:01:54]
