[Verse One] I'm scared for the life of my son Snipers could turn this into D.C. easy Poke holes in trunks and try to rest in peace me I say a prayer that Zeeky will be afraid of guns No water pistols, investin' his mind in blazin' young City Of God we live amongst the evil Lines and needles on my mind since little Knew shot could riddle through me These younger dudes is unruly usin' a tooley truly To be governor, imitatin' Schwarzenegger movie Votin' for Nader for we got no greater one to rep Hopin' our savior, we rise too many nights he slept Through Satan's celebration, don't tell 'em for Hell we waitin' We waitin' for Heaven's statement, rebirth until the dust In a city where we so greedy and full of lust Daily sinners and needy k**ers, ready to bust I saw Billy caught up on the block Alex caught up with the glock Isiah won't fall dog, not on my watch Because [Chorus] I look up to the heaven's and I Say somethin' that'll get me by Isiah you gon' always be held down With this music that I write all night For them streets that I ride through every Night and day I stay on the grind Cause sh**'s hard, but I paved the way My son will be alright and know that it's okay [Verse Two] Real life speech, conceal my weeps amidst the day to day Worried that them shots may pop where little Jayden play Shavin' greys, achin' bones Underrated, lacin' poems Heavy rent, money spent Wife and I vacating homes No vacation home In a grizzle zone, real life My n***as gone, we like "It's only flesh and bones." Soul survivor life, a mortal fires for the fire for the stress 9 to 5 TV hustle, pinchin' pennies more or less Wishin' Benji wore a vest, missin' Billy's school and me Uncle B, Audrey, Neil Urban Bobby's eulogies I say a prayer Lord For Isiah Lord, that you save him Lord From the Devil's clutches Amen Lord Forgive us for our sins cause we are men and nothin' greater Depends upon the pen if I don't place the sword to haters Bush and Kerry both degrade us, next time I'm pickin' Nader Wish life, was dreams so they could pinch and wake us My God [Chorus] I look up to the heaven's and I Say somethin' that'll get me by Isiah you gon' always be held down With this music that I write all night For them streets that I ride through every Night and day I stay on the grind Cause sh**'s hard, but I paved the way My son will be alright [Verse Three] Underrated but still hated amidst the rubble Those that meet me at glace think I be strictly trouble Per chance All that still will not weaken my hustle Feel the weakened muscles Grey hairs from past struggles, beware Too quick to a**ume to avenge his loses Ideas Say I was walkin' through the holocaust with Despair Livin' every fear, non-cautious Why care? But then the reason came for the caution Isiah Say a prayer for my little man Amen And for my father to be born again Cause when I see the homie at the gates I may Refrain Not be able to wash his sins away The pain I am forgiven so I must forgive Driven to do more than just scribble sentences with relentlessness Payin' rent, makin' sense till my day is spent If it's meant to be rap Lord Finally say it meant [Chorus] I look up to the heaven's and I Say somethin' that'll get me by Isiah you gon' always be held down With this music that I write all night For them streets that I ride through every Night and day I stay on the grind Cause sh**'s hard, but I paved the way My son will be alright and know that it's okay
