Can you feel me? I keep it real in these streets Until they k** me, 'cause you can go anyday. I don't know, life's cold, looking over my shoulder Everywhere I go, I'm God's soldier You gotta feel me! I keep it real in these streets Until they k** me, 'cause you can go anyday I don't know, life's cold, looking over my shoulder Everywhere I go, I'm God's soldier My life means too much, I just can't let it slip away I ain't ready to go, so look it's no time to play Don't nobody know when you leavin, it comes unexpected I wish somebody would tell me, when it's right next to me You know it's gonna happen dawg, you can't stop it God said it will, sh** you can't knock it I wonder how it feels when you know you leavin here I ain't scared of sh**, but d**h is my biggest fear Sometimes I question God, and ask him why I gotta go But if it's up to me dawg, I'd never go And to my folks gone, I meet you at the crossroads Until then I'm gettin paper till I'm grey and old Man you gotta understand that this sh** is real You was put here to die, so how you really feel? Heaven or hell, think about it where you goin d**h is like winter time, man it's all goin If I'd leave right now, how the hell would my momma feel Would she go in shock, die to? ,this sh** is real I wonder how you feel when you know it's right by And if you do, does your soul go sky high? Does your soul see your body layin on the ground And if it does, how would you feel if you're happy now? See in the split second dawg, you can fall out Heaven or hell was near, so n***a ball out Life is too short to be trippin over bullsh** People tell you that, but y'all you gotta feel this Sit back and reminisce and think how your folks died This sh** is a everyday thing, it happens worldwide If you was put here to die, what was you here for? And all I'm sayin is the discover what you here for And that's some real sh** dawg, for me and you And I'm just speakin of some sh**, that's really true. Picture life as a game of chess 'cause every move is critical in this life of stress I came from a long road to a hard time My momma full of stress, I can see it in her eyes And even though my popps never ever did a thing I still kept my head up and my nuts let 'em hang, cause I'm a grown man I kept it real in the streets 24/7, 365 blood sweat and tears and still steppin A soldier deep in the gangs feelin this pain For many years stackin some change, hopin for fame Been plenty nights, askin God why my uncle Jack I know I can't, but if I could I'd bring you back My cousin k**ed hisself, God what you thinkin of? Got two kids and a wife and just turned out the door I prayed to Christ every night asked him ease the pain And help me keep my head straight before I go insane
