The Other Side

Can I get a moment of silence for all
My niggas in the streets no longer livin
Or they headed through them gates to
There life in prison forgotton
I feel they pain so now
I'm ridin for the situation
My heart goes out to all the
T Jones who live impatient
Cause some of us blessed-and
Some of us ain't some of us takin shit for
Granted never stoppin to think
I got four handful of my niggas doin biz
Not a thought of comin home what
The fuck about they kids
I know I can't be they Daddy but
I feel like I can teach 'em
Yeah I know I'm only one but I'll
Be damn if I don't reach 'em
So I'm still here tryna understand why the
Hell bein poor will get you stoned
My nigga Reggie just did eight flat
Half of his life is gone
And I'm glad he made it home but
See he back without my brother
Ain't a day that fly away that
I don't think about my brother
He went in when I was thirteen
But now I'm twenty four
Everyday I sit and hope that they will
Free him before it's time to go

This can't be life Lord please tell me why
Why should I try to stay in and fight
And these streets ain't my home
And these niggas are so wrong
I want so much more before
I reach the other side

I got my mug on cause every minute I
Get caught up in a thug zone
I don't wanna get put up like
I'm Pac inside this slug zone
I'm tryna be a better man
See too many soliders die and
Get acquainted with the sand
I don't hate the world we live in
I hate the way it treat us
I know we here to serve a purpose
But the devil he will cheat us
Just like my nigga Robert Davis who
Was destined for the ground
And he passed away a living
Legend king of underground
And I miss him just like alot
Of y'all missin y'all niggas
Hard times come a mile a
Minute even for guerilla's
Everytime the rain fall out
The sky somebody leavin
Everytime you see the white chalk
You know somebody grievin
It's as simple as that life
Ain't always for the best
Half of us don't even know if we
Gon end up put to rest
For the night fall and can't
Nobody see it comin
I tip my hat to them niggas
Livin life and steadily runnin
(keep on runnin)
