The Heart Part 5

As I get a little older I realize life is perspective And my perspective may differ from yours I wanna say thank you to everyone that's been down with me All my fans all my beautiful fans Anyone who's ever gave me a listen all my people I come from a generation of pain where murder is minor Rebellious and Margielas'll chip you for designer Belt buckles and clout overzealous if prone to violence Make the wrong turn be it will or the wheel alignment Residue burned missed at a inner-city Miscommunication to keep homi' detective busy No protection is risky Desensitized I vandalized pain Covered up and camouflaged Get used to hearin' arsenal rain Analyze risk your life take the charge Homies done fucked your baby mama once you hit the yard that's culture Twenty-three hour lockdown then somebody called Said your lil' nephew was shot down the culture's involved I done seen niggas do seventeen hit the halfway house Get out and get his brains blown out lookin' to buy some weed Car wash is played out new GoFundMe accounts'll proceed A brand-new victim'll shatter those dreams the culture I want I want I want I want But I want you to want me too I want I want I want I want I want the hood to want me back I want I want I want I want I want the hood Look what I done for you Look what I done for you Look what I done for you I said I'd do this for my culture To let y'all know what a nigga look like in a bulletproof Rover In my mama's sofa was a doo-doo popper Hair trigger walk up closer ain't no Photoshoppin' Friends bipolar grab you by your pockets No option if you froze up always play the offense Niggas goin' to work and sellin' work late for work Workin' late prayin' for work but he on paperwork That's the culture point the finger promote ya Remote location witness protection they gon' hold ya The streets got me fucked up y'all can miss me I wanna represent for us New revolution was up and movin' I'm in Argentina wiping my tears full of confusion Water in between us another peer's been executed History repeats again Make amends then find a nigga with the same skin to do it But that's the culture crack a bottle Hard to deal with the pain when you're sober By tomorrow we forget the remains we start over That's the problem Our foundation was trained to accept whatever follows Dehumanize insensitive Scrutinize the way we live for you and I Enemies shook my hand I can promise I'll meet you In the land where no equal is your equal Never say I ain't told ya nah In the land where hurt people hurt more people Fuck callin' it culture I want I want I want I want But I want you to want me too I want I want I want I want I want the hood to want me back I want I want I want I want I want the hood Look what I done for you Look what I done for you Look what I done for you Take the drums out Phew phew Phew phew Phew Celebrate new life when it come back around The purpose is in the lessons we learnin' now Sacrifice personal gain over everything Just to see the next generation better than ours I wasn't perfect the skin I was in had truly suffered Temptation and patience everything that the body nurtures I felt the good I felt the bad and I felt the worry But all-in-all my productivity had stayed urging Face your fears always knew that I would make it here Where the energy is magnified and persevered Consciousness is synchronized and crystal-clear Euphoria is glorified and made His Reflectin' on my life and what I done Paid dues made rules change outta love Them same views made schools change curriculums But didn't change me starin' down the barrel of that gun Should I feel resentful I didn't see my full potential Should I feel regret about the good that I was into Everything is everything this ain't coincidental I woke up that morning with more heart to give you As I bleed through the speakers feel my presence To my brother to my kids I'm in Heaven To my mother to my sis I'm in Heaven To my father to my wife I am serious this is Heaven To my friends make sure you countin' them blessings To my fans make sure you make them investments And to the killer that sped up my demise I forgive you just know your soul's in question I seen the pain in your pupil when that trigger had squeezed And though you did me gruesome I was surely relieved I completed my mission wasn't ready to leave But fulfilled my days my Creator was pleased I can't stress how I love y'all I don't need to be in flesh just to hug y'all The memories recollect just because y'all Celebrate me with respect The unity we protect is above all And Sam I'll be watchin' over you Make sure my kids watch all my interviews Make sure you live all the dreams we produce Keep that genius in your brain on the move And to my neighborhood let the good prevail Make sure them babies and them lead us outta jail Look for salvation when troubles get real 'Cause you can't help the world until you help yourself And I can't blame the hood the day that I was killed Y'all had to see it that's the only way to feel And though my physical won't reap the benefits The energy that carry on emits still I want you
