so i take another step, and one more breath

closer to death. there's things going on in this

world that got me stressed. lately i find myself

searching my soul. looking for signs of life,

a warmth in the cold. i'm young and restless

and they want me to fold. i'm hard headed, i

ain't never did shit i was told. i get too mad too

fast over too much shit, but i put too much heart

into the words i spit. maybe i'm too proud,

maybe i scream too loud...but what goes in,

must come out. and i'm hurting inside. i can't

show it. obstructed by pride. i ain't being hard i

just don't know why. fuck tomorrow if i live or

i die. who comes first? you not before i. i'm still

a ways off from my lofty goals, so fuck those

who oppose and those who's acting like ho's. i

ain't got time for ya'll. focus my goals. i chose.

c'mon now, you just write ryhmes...i recite lifelines.

you're in it for the long haul...i'm in it for a lifetime.

let a brother try to come between me and mine.

i'll lie cheat and steal to keep feeding mine. that's

the deal and that's for real, by any means. am i

wrong because i want the finer things in life?

hell no. take this world by storm.

all i ever wanted was a taste of. all i ever wanted

was a piece of what i could not have.
