Ain't no way I can't make it I would die before I ever let 'em take it

My teacher told me I ain't ever gon' make it wasn't handed out sh** had to take it
n***a this is my life my story my pain my glory put ya lighters up for me I'm blazin
[Verse 1]
Don't give a f** about critics they can s** on my di-dick tell 'em I'm breakin' they rules
Doing this sh** on my own so I guess now that I'm crown I got the duty to k** it
Turn this sh** up in yo iPod feel it when n***as is locked up doin' digits
Pushin they way from they Civic hope that that you never forget it
I got you, you my brother forever where you are put your faith in me I'm shining
You can wish upon a star promise I won't let you down promise I'm gon' put it down
Promise I'm gonna rep my city everytime I'm outta town
I know a lot of n***as hate especially when I'm not around
But when I see 'em in they face I know they ain't gon make a sound
That's enough of what you know about stories of the heart
How 'bout when a baby's mother sees a family ripped apart
The judge done threw away the key, he was trying to feed his son
There's only two things you can be: That's dead, or dumb and with a gun
There's n***as dying every day it's the Chi Town home of the gun shots
Where n***as try to look like Al Capone in they mug shots
City where the weather gets warm and the blood drops
Shot a shorty on his way home from the bus stop
Some one tell me when it ends lost my mind I lost my friends
All that I can think to rap about is candy-coated Benz diamonds shinin' in my chain
Ice gleamin' in my ring parasites inside my brain up in the club and I make it rain
Seein ghosts when I fall asleep - life is a game and it plays for keeps
Drippin' away and they say you weak - voice of the dead if they even speak
Sometimes I wonder what they say
Would you stand and listen to that sh** or would you run away
Is you really safe up in your crib or is you one away the strike will hit you any day
Minutes movin' slow I pray I make it through the month of May
Summers commin round too fast
We still trying to get our head together of the last
When they took my n***a wish woulda seen him fore he died
We ain't no b**hes but when we heard that sh** you know we cried
Ain't that sh** crazy, how just one moment can change me from my life
Had or dreams if I was dead wonder what that sh** be like
Wonder if n***as would cry wonder if they know my name
Wonder if they think I'm happy, wonder if they know my pain
Wonder if they think I'm lame cause I never had a hit
Wonder if they talk about me then forget that I exist
For the kids that I'mma bring into this world, this is my apology
Your pops is headed for wrong, don't father me
And for the end of this song I solemnly
Swear you n***as can't stand side by side with me
This ain't rap, it's highway robbery
And I brought Chuck and Jay Dee for the ride with me
I own this sh**, Chicago's my property
Savemoney standin, no toppin me, n***a
Ain't no way I can't make it I would die before I ever let em take it
n***a this is my life my story my pain my glory put ya lighters up for me I'm blazin
My teacher told me I ain't ever gon make it, wasn't handed out sh**, had to take it
n***a this is my life my story my pain my glory put ya lighters up for me I'm blazin
