Persecuted by the world
all I want is my baby girl
in my arms braided up on pretty curls
Keep the fame and the fortune I don`t need it
is to many out there wanna see me bleedin,
as I wake up stuck in time
in this place people loose they f**ken mind
I see shadows in the night of demons dancing
most penitentiaries overseen by clansmen
Stay strong even though it`s hard
keep my head up and stay close to GOD
I see friends I knew back in school
they ain`t the same covered up in tattoos
In the land of the free I`m forever known
look up at the sky and pretend I`m home
Dear Lord I know you got a plan for me
but I`d rather be at home with my family

[HOOK x2]

If I die momma don`t loose your mind
stay strong the world don`t accept my kind
I was born hate free always been different
It`s hard to stay alive when you`re brown and gifted

I understand it in due time my life is going to slide behind
the curtain of uncertainty the pearly gates to the fire,
`cause I`m a rambling man, a gambling man
so when the s**t hits the fan my plan is to stand as a man,
my canvas is bland painted the perfect picture
but my tears made the paint run; I need an eraser but s**t ain`t one,
the critics looking at the picture saying it feels dark
but you critickin my art baby is still art
I know some people that respect me for me
I know some people that neglect me for me
And so it pans out so now when I pass
and the last of my breath has been breathed at ease
Momma don`t cry for me I`m watching over you
I`m still doing the same thing your son is opposed to do,
so if you love me love me and everything is fine
we`re gonna reunite in the sky and do time

[HOOK]

I tried to tell you that these motherf**kers wanted my soul,
hate me till I`m dead and gone but in love with my dough,
as they listen to my cd that they got from somebody
I can`t believe that he is saying this in custody,
doesn`t he realize we got him right were we want him
I was warned by a prisoner they`ll be coming,
can you imagine life without rats
that back stab their own to try get were they at?
I made millions but felt I was never rich,
how can greed make people be so devilish?
I wrote a book entitled they can`t stop
took about 20 pens and a lot of coffee,
they hit me up with some years and a small fine
it`s gonna be the greatest comeback of all time
and all I got left is true fans
`cause my horoscope said that my bitch found a new man
