I see ghosts clearly; even though, most don't hear me [00:00:27]

They still wanna get near me - fear me, so I'm leary [00:00:30]

Kinda eerie what I'm feelin - from the floor, to the ceilin [00:00:33]

Straight through the roof, want the truth? [00:00:35]

I kinda miss robbin and stealin [00:00:37]

Cause it kept a ni**a hungry, only eatin when I starved [00:00:38]

I was ugly, so I robbed, no one loved me, sh*t was hard [00:00:41]

Went to God once in a while when it got a little too hectic [00:00:43]

He was the only one I knew that I respected (WHY?) [00:00:46]

Didn't know why, didn't know what I was livin was a lie [00:00:49]

If I ain't sh*t then, why should I try [00:00:52]

See, plenty niggaz die, over dumb sh*t, up in the hood [00:00:55]

Real good heart, but up to no good [00:00:57]

Thought I did what I could, but I guess it, wasn't enough [00:00:59]

The Devil told me it would happen but I kept callin his bluff [00:01:02]

When it rains it pours now, my pains are yours [00:01:05]

As yours are what's mine, define, revolvin doors (ni**a!) [00:01:08]

(Why?) All my niggaz tell me (why) tell me (we die) [00:01:11]

Cause we crazy with it, quick to blaze you with it [00:01:14]

From in my soul to every word that I curse [00:01:17]

With all the agony expressed in this verse; [00:01:19]

Let me ask my niggaz (why?) [00:01:22]

My niggaz tell me (why) tell me (we die) [00:01:23]

Because we Gods ni**a (and) we go the yard ni**a [00:01:25]

Because I walk the ground under my feet [00:01:27]

And keep it live and stay in tune with the street [00:01:30]

Now let me ask my niggaz (why?) [00:01:32]

They say the good die young, in the hood where I'm from [00:01:33]

I only got one question to that - why the f**k am I here? [00:01:35]

I look to the air, I ask God, Love me please, [00:01:38]

But in reality, only people that hug me is thieves [00:01:42]

Same niggaz that send shots through my rugby sleeves [00:01:44]

They wanna, slug me and leave, I'm thinkin it must be me [00:01:46]

Please shed light, the hood's dark [00:01:49]

I did my dirt but got a good heart [00:01:51]

Shouldn't that count for somethin? [00:01:53]

I was told I'd amount to nothin, most of my childhood [00:01:55]

Liked by folks it was stuntin my growth [00:01:58]

Seperated me from the sh*t I was wantin the most [00:02:00]

Felt myself comin close to pumpin them O's [00:02:03]

Lump in my throat, chest poked out, face was poker [00:02:06]

Tryin to, erase my ghostes, chase the smokers [00:02:09]

Got demons on both shoulders, [00:02:13]

Tryin to chauffeur my life through the streets [00:02:13]

In other words ni**a my will was weak [00:02:15]

Please feel what I speak, [00:02:17]

This ain't your average ordinary jargon [00:02:18]

Weak rap niggaz be talkin [00:02:20]

This sh*t is deep, from the mind of Busta, 'X and me [00:02:22]

To all my fallen soldiers, rest in peace, til we meet niggaz [00:02:25]

(Why?) All my niggaz tell me (why) tell me (we die) [00:02:28]

Cause we crazy with it, quick to blaze you with it [00:02:30]

From in my soul to every word that I curse [00:02:33]

With all the agony expressed in this verse; [00:02:37]

Let me ask my niggaz (why?) [00:02:39]

My niggaz tell me (why) tell me (we die) [00:02:41]

Because we Gods ni**a (and) we go the yard ni**a [00:02:43]

Because I walk the ground under my feet [00:02:44]

And keep it live and stay in tune with the street [00:02:47]

Now let me ask my niggaz (why?) [00:02:49]

I must be cuckoo, like I respect the new-you, never [00:02:50]

See you too could get it through your FUBU sweater [00:02:52]

Like a ni**a when he walk in the dark, trespassin [00:02:55]

On a ni**a land, shots echo loud in the park [00:02:58]

I live and die for all the sh*t I believe [00:03:01]

And rep for everything I stand for [00:03:04]

With every single breath I breathe [00:03:06]

Like the intake from cigarette smoke, it's like you inhale [00:03:08]

The demon in the gutter stressed struggled and broke [00:03:10]

If the sh*t was all over tomorrow, I'd leave a treasure [00:03:12]

For my kids with a legacy for my CHILDREN to follow [00:03:16]

You know it's funny how the good die first [00:03:17]

Get the peppin in your steppin faggot ni**a [00:03:20]

Cause you could die worse [00:03:22]

Hold on, you know I cut off my arm, in the name of reppin [00:03:23]

REAL NIGGAZ in the midst of droppin this bomb [00:03:26]

Allah blessin me to rep for the better, and carry on [00:03:28]

Somethin great and keep a ni**a name livin forever![00:03:31]

(Why?) All my niggaz tell me (why) tell me (we die) [00:03:33]

Cause we crazy with it, quick to blaze you with it [00:03:37]

From in my soul to every word that I curse [00:03:40]

With all the agony expressed in this verse; [00:03:42]

Let me ask my niggaz (why?) [00:03:45]

My niggaz tell me (why) tell me (we die) [00:03:47]

Because we Gods ni**a (and) we go the yard ni**a [00:03:48]

Because I walk the ground under my feet [00:03:51]

And keep it live and stay in tune with the street [00:03:53]

Now let me ask my niggaz (why?) [00:03:55]
