Verse 1
It's a ice cold game when it rains it pours
Every direction I turn is a slamming door
But I can't see myself fall to the floor
Or let anybody that try to break me down succeed at it anymore
Since I was 5 all I wanted to do was just play some ball
Now I'm a man that same dream don't really mean nothin at all
They told me be a good person but that type of state of mind
Enabled people to step on me every single time
I fall
Some times I feel like sprinting clean through a brick wall
But then reality strikes before I even make it that far
Then I look in the mirror asking myself what the hell were you thinking
And fall down on my knees thanking god that I wasn't drinking
Or doing drugs
Cause ain't no telling how I'd probably end up
That will mean that my talents were simply waisted sick it make me want to throw up
Gang signs but that already got me shot at and stabbed
I can't walk that rout no more plus I'm a dad
I can't even imagine my beautiful baby being treated as half as bad as I used to get it
That's why I feel like I can't let nobody beat me spitting lyrics
I hope it's somebody out there that really listen the way I deliver parts of my soul and display the glistening
Of my heart, position of a dream that fell apart or the felling that you get after your car won't even start
On a day when the rent is late and plus if you show up late one more time you getting fired on the spot
Damn, my live is like a nightmare translated and when it hit reality I'm hoping like hell I make it
But if I don't then I guess I'll just be another memory of great things that was supposed to come that somebody didn't want see
It's like I'm losing my focus and hocuspocus won't save me from thoughts of wicked demons trying to enslave me
Some times I want to write a letter to Big Snoop Dogg and beg him to show what it was he doin that helped him make it
Shit I'm tripping I'm not just another fan and matter fact asking for nothing ain't even part of my plan
The only person I beg for something is god that's it that's all and every other thought is a fraud
The only message I got for people that's listening is when the world try to step on you don't ever give in
That's the conclusion to all the words in this chapter
