The ghetto is pitch black and we all wanna shine, so a third of us roundThe other half about math, flipping birds, reading a …there is no words to describeMy habitat accepts hostiles, … , and trips to the hospital or …Get locked in solitude surrounded by darkness hoping some light shine … through… dvd boosting, crack rock producing, business suits claim we’re uselessAnd won’t give you jobs, and wonder why their ass get robbedWonder why my junk brother stuck on reeferBecause the state refuse to pay good teachersWhile the rich kids watch from the bleachesI ask jesus let some light creep inMay god keep a little something for the g’s and cold hearted niggers that’s freezin’Everything happens for a reasonWhy nigger’s start shit, this ain’t nothin for the radio, nah this ain’t nothing for the radioNah, this right here what you’ve been waiting for, hey this right here what you’ve been waiting forWhy is it me that this dark cloud follows?I …ground in this velvet here bottlesI keep my hand from him it’s a revivalThe limits keep my hands spinning like a gyroI need a cairo, … cause I feel like I’m alone in this worldWho got my back? they tell me find god like I don’t know where he atAnd if he lost I be following himJust acknowledge the fact that a father exists, and the devil’s aliveI’m just caught in the mix, be fore he shines his light over me I was out on the stripHolding it down till I discovered my gift, got talent bro, I’m telling youIt felt more like a curse, in my hoodie, I still made it to churchJust the time they hear the pastor complain like sunshine after the rain, help us outMay god keep a little something for the g’s and cold hearted niggers that’s freezin’Everything happens for a reasonWhy nigger’s start shit, this ain’t nothin for the radio, nah this ain’t nothing for the radioNah, this right here what you’ve been waiting for, hey this right here what you’ve been waiting for.
