I appreciate that

I went to jail and they made me number one

I appreciate them stickin' up

For me when everyone was kickin me when I was down

That's love and I'll never trade that

So for the Bay And Philly and all those areas and all those Ghettos and towns

I love y'all

Don't let this east coast west coast thing get to you

I love y'all

Sometimes I try to do good but I just can't be

It's hard to get myself to do things that ain't me

And y'all should thank me

But my haters busy trying to send me home early

But you can't New Orlean Saint me

I ain't a saint B, I ain't a god God

I ain't a angel neither but I try hard y'all

I'm lighting up for all my soldiers at war

As I sit back and watch

The ashes on my cigar fall

They say death comes in threes

Who's next in line?

And I just lost a best friend for the second time

Now I'm on a quest to find peace

Still gotta carry my piece and "Soo Woo!" when it's reppin' time

Y'all don't understand

I'm misunderstood

Give Interscope two more albums then I'm done for good

Sold 10 million records, ain't leave the hood

It's a cold world, everybody need a hood

I spend my time in this cell, ain't living well

I know my destiny is Hell. Where did I fail?

My life is in denial and when I die

Baptized in eternal fire. I'll shed so many tears

I spend my time in this cell, ain't living well

I know my destiny is Hell. Where did I fail?

My life is in denial and when I die

Baptized in eternal fire. I'll shed so many tears

After realizing, to master enterprising

I ain't have to be in school by ten, I then

Began to encounter with my counterparts

On how to burn the block apart, break it down into sections

Drugs by the selections

Some use pipes, others use injections

Syringe sold separately Frank the Deputy

Quick to grab my Smith & Wesson like my d*ck was missing

To protect my position, my corner, my lair

While we out here, say the Hustlers Prayer

If the game shakes me or breaks me

I hope it makes me a better man

Take a better stand

Put money in my mom's hand

Get my daughter this college grant so she don't need no man

Stay far from timid

Only make moves when your heart's in it

And live the phrase sky's the limit

Motherfxxkers

I spend my time in this cell, ain't living well

I know my destiny is Hell. Where did I fail?

My life is in denial and when I die

Baptized in eternal fire. I'll shed so many tears

I spend my time in this cell, ain't living well

I know my destiny is Hell. Where did I fail?

My life is in denial and when I die

Baptized in eternal fire. I'll shed so many tears

Now I'm lost and I'm weary, so many tears

I'm suicidal, so don't stand near me

My every move is a calculated step, to bring me closer

To embrace an early death, now there's nothin left

There was no mercy on the streets, I couldn't rest

I'm barely standin, bout to go to pieces, screamin peace

And though my soul was deleted, I couldn't see it

I had my mind full of demons tryin to break free

They planted seeds and they hatched, sparkin the flame

Inside my brain like a match, such a dirty game

No memories, just a misery

Paintin a picture of my enemies killin me, in my sleep

Will I survive til the mo'nin, to see the sun

Please Lord forgive me for my sins, cause here I come

I spend my time in this cell, ain't living well

I know my destiny is Hell. Where did I fail?

My life is in denial and when I die

Baptized in eternal fire. I'll shed so many tears

I spend my time in this cell, ain't living well

I know my destiny is Hell. Where did I fail?

My life is in denial and when I die

Baptized in eternal fire. I'll shed so many tears
