[Intro: Sample & Tha God Fahim]
You know, God favors you when you're willing to die for something! (Mmm)
I got my pistol (Uh)
And I went lookin' for him

[Verse]
Ambition burnin' inside like a candle
All this poison fed to my mind got me constantly changin' the channel
Set my blade down next to my writings
Thinkin' about the guns, the drugs, the wars, the fightin'
The rain, the lightnin'; the pain is heightened
Your brains be snipen, your chains get siphoned
Resurrectin' old memories of friends, I'm ridin' 'til the end
Wouldn't have made it this far without the pen
I spend most of my days in seclusion, plottin' of rulin'
Steady starin' at the clock hands movin'
Even the greatest teacher is a student that's still learnin'
Out my window, I see the world turnin'
Life goes on, my n***a, 'til I'm reborn, my n***a
Candlelight vigils and war songs, my killer
Rest in peace to Muhammad Ali
Wire transfers to my colleague
Fool's gold lay on the Godbody
It's never Minute Maid, gainin' the juice
In a world full of lies, I'm only givin' you truth
[Outro: Sample & Tha God Fahim]
And then I decided to go right to the police station
N***a, I'm givin' you truth - that's it
See, there's somethin' about this man Elijah
That when you know him, he takes fear out of you
When you know yourself and you know God, you're not a weak, spineless, punked-ified man
