highs & lows (truth bout the streets)

  • Eneryday I pray for forgineness,
  • Acting in incidents,
  • I wouldn't want my daughter to witness,
  • In her eyes is innocence,
  • I mine is ignorance,
  • I don't know deliverance,
  • Soon as I feel I'm delivered it,
  • It gets filtered quick,
  • I've had my highs and lows,
  • Crispy from my head to my toes,
  • Nice whips on the road,
  • A non stop cash flow,
  • Hustling like it's all I know,
  • Treating all women like hoes,
  • They aint s**t,
  • All cuz of one b*t*h,
  • Ain't worth but a fith,
  • And the soap and water to wash em off my d**k,
  • Makes me sick,
  • Some guy might treat Alexis like this,
  • Now on the flip,
  • I've been so broke,
  • Been so low,
  • Only got four days worth of clothes,
  • Weathered winter with no coat,
  • F**k my hair let it grow,
  • How much longer these shoes gonna hold,
  • Wanted a honest living with to many pills in my nose,
  • Laid off cuz I wouldn't pucker up to an ,
  • My attempt to be a father in a modle role,
  • Still steady I grow,
  • From each cut like stubble,
  • Life ain't comfortable,
  • It ain't suddle,
  • I'm scarred up You can see the fight in my knuckles,
  • Survived every sting of the bumble,
  • Able to keep going where most fold,
  • You fought who,
  • I fought groups,
  • I got proof,
  • I talk truth,
  • Pay hospital dues,
  • My noggin been knocked loose,
  • I've lost srews,
  • Y'all can push I will not move,
  • Anticipating my clock to stop soon,
  • Still shocked from what I've got through,
  • Up or down,
  • It's the way of this town,
  • Either your in or your out,
  • The good with the bad,
  • Fact the bad is always worse,
  • There's to much thirst,
  • Fiends need their fix,
  • The hungry need to eat,
  • The jealous coming to get yours,
  • Cuz what your worth,
  • These young g's gotta be,
  • What the O.G. teach,
  • They being set up in deceit,
  • Cuz most don't prictice what they preach.
