(You're no good)
Yeah...
This life is wild mane, real talk
I never really thought I'd see it from my own eyes though
I mean... not like this you know I'm sayin?
Walk with me mane, yeah yeah
[Sevin]
Yeah, between the cold nights the horrors and the dumpin'
Drunk on the corner lookin' forward to the funkin'
Coroners carry away our warriors like it's nothin'
Through the struggles and the strife life owes a n***a somethin'
Yeah, believe me that's the debt she gon' pay
For every single one of my homies stressed along the way
Ha, I be laughin' when they tellin' me that life is a (b**h)
It might be true, but she's rich
And I'mma break that purse
Before I take that hearse
I been broke I can't take that curse, nah
So father please forgive me if I'm wrong
But it's war when you're poor all your liberty is gone
For real, it ain't about the money it's the freedom
People dependin' on ya, all you wanna do is feed em
And that's a good enough reason to grind
If we say we don't need you we lyin'
We just can't see you, we blind
Chorus:
[Lace Leno]
They say that I'm no good yeah (yeah... they say that I'm no good)
But I gotta mean more than that (I gotta be more than that)
Yeah I gotta mean more than that whoa
(my life's got to amount to more than that)
They say that I'm no good yeah (yeah they say that I am no good)
Oooh I gotta mean more than that (yeah)
I gotta mean more than that oooh
[Sevin]
Yeah, forever livin' with mistakes and regrets
Got these tears in my face with a... eighth in my sweats
Threats on my life I gotta stay with the tech
I'm out of state in the 'jects tryin' to make some connects
And blood and peace to little Marcus from the east
You will always be my n***a on the park you was a beast
I lost my kid same day you got shot
Look out for 'em my nig 'til I meet you up top
If I hadn't played around, Lord
I know my sons wouldn't've died in the stomach of that foul who*e
Cuz they deserve much better than that mane
Gamble with ya life and end up dead in the crack game
And the fast lane you livin' in comes to a cold hault
You lose everything you love and you know it's yo fault
One trip, one slip that's it
Think about it my n***a, next time you hittin' that lick
Chorus:
[Lace Leno]
They say that I'm no good yeah (yeah they say that I'm no good)
But I gotta mean more than that (I gotta mean more than that man)
Yeah I gotta mean more than that whoa
They say that I'm no good yeah
(I gotta be worth more than what I got in my pocket mane)
Oooh I gotta mean more than that
I gotta mean more than that oooh
[Sevin]
To be honest if I could take it all back, don't even know if I would
Real talk, don't even know if I should
But I know if I could I'd change my heart so I could cry again
Wish I could say I don't feel pain but I'd be lyin' then
It's just I really can't release it like I'd wish to
When I see my brotha treat him like my pistol
Squeeze him like "I miss you"
These issues I be dealin' with consume me
How can I ever triumph, my environment entombs me
It's like ya grown me to never care
I send my prayers to the air but they return like you ain't never there
And if that's the case then what am I believing in
There's gotta be a God
Cuz the devil's here deceiving men
They say that Jesus is the sweetest friend a man can know
That means that when I meet Him I'll be free to let my cannon go
And I'm tryin' to fight this evil inside
I got nothin' left to lose so I got no reason to lie
Chorus:
They say that I'm no good yeah (yeah they say that I'm no good)
But I gotta mean more than that (I gotta mean more than that mane)
Yeah I gotta mean more than that whoa (c'mon)
They say that I'm no good (yeah they say that I'm no good)
Oooh I gotta mean more than that
I gotta mean more than that oooh
You know... greater is He
Greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world
I dunno it's like
I mean I know I'm out here I know I'm in this situation
In the struggle, in this filth
You know what I'm sayin
There's just a voice in the back of my head that keeps tellin' me
I'm more than a conqueror
And I've gotta be more than this... yeah
