take it for what it's worth, my birth was a blessin

sent to live and die on earth as a lesson

we each have a star, all we have to do is find it

once you do, everyone who sees it will be blinded

they tell you that your bright, and say you have a future

once you turn your back, the same cats'll try to shoot ya

niggaz ain't shit, i can live on both sides of the fence

forget what you do when you talk, see what you really meant

thats what i thought, them niggaz was bluffin

they talk all day but say, nothin

it gets so dark,haze so intense

since it first rained, its like its rained ever since

i never got paid for a rhyme, but i flow

i never got a plate on time, but i grow

live your life, stay on the line, but i go

went from doin crime to bein kind cuz i know



(chorus)2x

im gonna live forever, im never gonna die

the only thing i fear is im never gonna fly

carry my weight, but im never gonna cry

shit i'll tell ya'll niggaz straight, cuz im never gonna lie



what is it about who i am that makes me unforgettable?

what is it about what i've done that makes it so incredible?

"more money, more problems"-well the fame was worse

i reached out for love, and what came back was thrist

blessed with the curse, niggaz don't hear me

niggaz don't hear me, ya'll niggaz don't hear me

wat'd I just say? "Nigga g'head" - you see that?

You gots to FEEL ME to catch what I'm sayin, BELIEVE THAT

but leave that, alone

you gon' make a nigga wanna be at your home

Oh you kinda quiet with the heat at, your dome

If the dog got he's gonna bring back a bone

cause we got the chrome

This is what I live for, or die for

I'm the nigga with the high score, you try for

What you niggaz wanna lie for? It changes nothin

I'm true for cats, yet some strangers bluffin



(chorus)2x



now if i take what he gave me, and use it right

in other words, if i listen, and use the light

then what i say will remain here after im gone

still here on the strength of a song, i live on

No second-guessin on what I stood for, I was good for

stoppin niggaz from killin each other in the hood war

Comin through showin love, throwin up

Them cats not throwin love, you know whassup

Dark Man baby, that's my name

and I gots to be the realest nigga up in this game

Cause ain't no shame, they don't make em like, this no more

Real to the core, big heart but built for war

I stand for what I believe in

Even if what I believe in stops me from breathin

Relatives grievin, but I ain't goin nowhere

Listen to the song I'm right there



(chorus
