If only you knew my nature The Essence of who I am My ambitions R now legendary But I am a simple man The world is convinced they know me I have been captured,shot and framed they have crucified and analyzed sacrificed and gamed me,but I still love my sister God forgive her for her sins. I winder if heaven has a ghetto and will they let me in? Tomorrow iz not promised 2 us today iz hard enough Hell ain"t shit compared to life protect me God it"z rough.If I should die B4 I wake Tell the youth I came and went My last wordz here waz fuck the world be strong and represent.
