Lyrical Analysis of...
LITTLE JAY COLLAB VERSE W/HOOK
- //VERSE 1:
- Ever since I was a little kid, I never truly ran with thugs,
- I ain't into ganging up, banging 'em, or slanging drugs,
- meanwhile in the ghetto the blood leaked from hanging rugs,
- until that shit would dry up, memories would dangle rough,
- there's never ever silence on the streets, understand the love,
- and peace has been symbolically destroyed like mangled doves,
- I wish I could reach up and touch the clouds, they hang above me,
- no one seems to understand my struggles, troubled and it sucks,
- my motherfucking life has been a secret and a blatant lie,
- I pray to God and stay in squad, playing hard, blazing skies,
- are looming up above me 'cuz I have such a dark past,
- this is for those kids who feel no love, let their arm slash,
- drug dealers are on every corner news stand and sell there,
- but what would you do if you had food stamps and welfare?
- it seems like the entire thing is stupid and that's never gone,
- the government tracks us down like Basset Hound echelons,
- testing bombs, you really think it's different from Desert Storm?
- C4 was planted at the Twin Towers, missiles hit the Pentagon,
- the world is so corrupt, you can't even trust the Catholic church,
- two hundred years ago we should've known the gats would burst,
- we've lost so many kids to gun violence, and the facts are worse,
- 'cuz many of those black youth are born to die just after birth,
- reflecting on our troubles is what heals us, and the past, it hurts,
- if God had any questions for me, I'd make sure to ask it first,
- 'cuz life is short, there's not much time, I'd be thrown back to Earth,
- these underground rappers would straight murder for half a verse,
- I've been thrown down, damn, pushed straight into grass and dirt,
- see rap, it works to calm me when I'm spaced out like Captain Kirk,
- I'm Lucifer, but still I want to save myself from Satan's lakes,
- and maybe serving for the greater good will be my saving grace,
- but it's hard to not hustle crack when every single day's a race,
- I've learned many a lesson, keep ya head up, we make mistakes but
- //HOOK (X2):
- This is what my Mama used to tell me when I used to fight,
- see life's a temporary set back, and still the future's bright,
- I had a dream that shit was easy, then I went and woke up,
- and realized that life's a bitch, and that gives you no love
