I've been in a world that
If I took the time to release
I still believe that I am alone
I heard a little tale about two children
sitting on the kitchen floor
They eatin' mayonnaise out the jar and they moms
out smokin' dope on the stroll
Life is complete for them
And it ain't no emotions, only instinct
And that's how they'll be raised
just up the boulevard from your world
Oh, it ain't all gravy where you at, cause
that's where he gon' go to check
Catch his first case at, become a disgrace
But not in this world up the boulevard
I'ma see the hit that lit the stars
The dearest people in my life are
My question is to what lengths
do we go so that they live?
my lopes mean everything to me
but sometimes you don't step up and take the reins
Man, the world's like a sheep,
How did I get so far gone?
And where in the world did I ever go?
If I took the time to replace
It still feels as if I'm here
I'm picturing kids crying,
hear firing up dope over a stove
Family or getting repo 'ed cause they
Nobody knows what's to eat because
And the baby suffers from a rash cause he hasn't
been changing over a week
The oldest keeps things together by scram
bling up some powdered eggs
She's only five so why her mom can't keep
them pimps from out her face
Adolescent, the mother won't ad
mit when she been molested
Both of her legs covered with ringworms
but who ever heard of some clean germs?
I see death, hurt in her momma's eyes
She traumatized, been beat up
Ever since her father died,
It's hard for me to talk about
the good things in my life
With all the things I did for stripes
And the way I made my gramps
and I ain't got time to care about you
Just sell smack to you and sell crack to you
Unless you know me and you owe me
Or never worry about your dreams
Unless you the big or the little homie,
here to corrupt you for sure
Like my pops did me, did me wrong
And now he lost everything he owned
And he lost everyone he know, here
Like our life was showing you the ropes
Introduced you to all kind of good stuff
Take you to places you may die
And the whole time we rollin',
I'ma say, man, this the real way to survive,
And where in the world did I belong?
If I took the time to replace
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone
Your eyes with the touch of
