The Heart Part 5

[00:07.82] As I get a little older, I realize life is perspective
[00:14.73]
[00:16.82] And my perspective may differ from yours
[00:22.03] I wanna say thank you to everyone that's been down with me
[00:26.91] All my fans, all my beautiful fans
[00:32.47] Anyone who's ever gave me a listen, all my people
[00:38.62] I come from a generation of pain, where murder is minor
[00:41.43] Rebellious and Margielas'll chip you for designer
[00:43.93] Belt buckles and clout, overzealous if prone to violence
[00:46.28] Make the wrong turn, be a will of the wheel alignment
[00:48.65] Residue burned, missed at a inner-city
[00:50.79] Miscommunication to keep homi' detective busy
[00:53.14] No protection is risky
[00:54.49] Desensitized, I vandalized pain
[00:56.37] Covered up and camouflaged
[00:57.78] Get used to hearin' arsenal rain
[00:59.28] Analyze, risk your life, take the charge
[01:01.30] Homies done fucked your baby mama once you hit the yard, that's culture
[01:04.53] Twenty-three hour lockdown, then somebody called
[01:06.47] Said your lil' nephew was shot down, the culture's involved
[01:09.06] I done seen niggas do seventeen, hit the halfway house
[01:11.66] Get out and get his brains blown out, lookin' to buy some weed
[01:14.22] Car wash is played out, new GoFundMe accounts'll proceed
[01:17.24] A brand-new victim'll shatter those dreams, the culture
[01:21.22] (I want, I want, I want, I want)
[01:25.97] But I want you to want me too (I want, I want, I want, I want)
[01:31.51] I want the hood to want me back (I want, I want, I want, I want)
[01:34.85] I want the hood
[01:36.48] Look what I done for you (look what I done for you)
[01:40.43] Look what I done for you
[01:43.19] I said I do this for my culture
[01:45.25] To let y'all know what a nigga look like in a bulletproof Rover
[01:48.66] In my mama's sofa was a doo-doo popper
[01:51.01] Head tricker, walk up closer
[01:52.38] Ain't no Photoshoppin'
[01:53.47] Friends bipolar, grab you by your pockets
[01:55.79] No option if you froze up, always play the offense
[01:58.41] Niggas goin' to work and sellin' work, late for work
[02:01.10] Workin' late, prayin' for work, but he on paperwork
[02:03.52] That's the culture, point the finger, promote ya
[02:05.69] Remote location, witness protection, they gon' hold ya
[02:08.06] The streets got me fucked up, y'all can miss me
[02:10.72] I wanna represent for us
[02:12.53] New revolution was up and movin'
[02:14.25] I'm in Argentina wiping my tears full of confusion
[02:16.80] Water in between us, another peer's been executed
[02:19.22] History repeats again
[02:20.54] Make amends, then find a nigga with the same skin to do it
[02:24.30] But that's the culture, crack a bottle
[02:25.84] Hard to deal with the pain when you're sober
[02:27.72] By tomorrow, we forget the remains, we start over
[02:30.17] That's the problem
[02:30.72] Our foundation was trained to accept whatever follows
[02:34.64] Dehumanize, insensitive
[02:35.72] Scrutinize the way we live for you and I
[02:37.53] Enemies shook my hand, I can promise I'll meet you
[02:39.71] In a land where no equal is your equal
[02:41.84] Never say I ain't told ya, nah
[02:44.78] In the land where hurt people hurt more people
[02:46.60] Fuck callin' it culture
[02:49.28] (I want, I want, I want, I want)
[02:54.08] But I want you to want me too (I want, I want, I want, I want)
[02:59.95] I want the hood to want me back (I want, I want, I want, I want)
[03:03.14] I want the hood
[03:04.99] Look what I done for you (look what I done for you)
[03:08.44] Look what I done for you
[03:13.21] Take the drums out
[03:16.14]
[03:31.99] Celebrate new life when it come back around
[03:34.25] The purpose is in the lessons we learnin' now
[03:36.42] Sacrifice personal gain over everything
[03:39.02] Just to see the next generation better than ours
[03:41.44] I wasn't perfect, the skin I was in had truly suffered
[03:43.88] Temptation and patience, everything that the body nurtures
[03:46.24] I felt the good, I felt the bad, and I felt the worry
[03:48.68] But all-in-all, my productivity had stayed urgent
[03:51.24] Face your fears, always knew that I would make it here
[03:53.64] Where the energy is magnified and persevered
[03:56.39] Consciousness is synchronized and crystal clear
[03:58.79] Euphoria is glorified and made His
[04:01.15] Reflectin' on my life and what I done
[04:03.24] Paid dues, made rules, change outta love
[04:05.61] Them same views made schools change curriculums
[04:08.03] But didn't change me starin' down the barrel of that gun
[04:10.46] Should I feel resentful I didn't see my full potential?
[04:13.15] Should I feel regret about the good that I was into?
[04:15.55] Everything is everything, this ain't coincidental
[04:17.80] I woke up that morning with more heart to give you
[04:20.06] As I bleed through the speakers, feel my presence
[04:22.40] To my brother, to my kids, I'm in Heaven
[04:24.89] To my mother, to my sis, I'm in Heaven
[04:27.26] To my father, to my wife, I am serious, this is Heaven
[04:30.18] To my friends, make sure you countin' them blessings
[04:32.27] To my fans, make sure you make them investments
[04:34.72] And to the killer that sped up my demise
[04:37.02] I forgive you, just know your soul's in question
[04:39.47] I seen the pain in your pupil when that trigger had squeezed
[04:42.46] And though you did me gruesome, I was surely relieved
[04:44.64] I completed my mission, wasn't ready to leave
[04:47.06] But fulfilled my days, my Creator was pleased
[04:49.61] I can't stress how I love y'all
[04:51.56] I don't need to be in flesh just to hug y'all
[04:53.68] The memories recollect just because y'all
[04:56.16] Celebrate me with respect
[04:57.45] The unity we protect is above all
[04:59.83] And Sam, I'll be watchin' over you
[05:01.95] Make sure my kids watch all my interviews
[05:04.50] Make sure you live all the dreams we produce
[05:06.98] Keep that genius in your brain on the move
[05:09.34] And to my neighborhood, let the good prevail
[05:11.79] Make sure them babies and the leaders outta jail
[05:14.13] Look for salvation when troubles get real
[05:16.89] 'Cause you can't help the world until you help yourself
[05:19.21] And I can't blame the hood the day that I was killed
[05:21.66] Y'all had to see it, that's the only way to feel
[05:24.16] And though my physical won't reap the benefits
[05:26.67] The energy that carry on emits still
[05:29.02] I want you
[05:29.65]
