[Intro]. I think we all have these moments in our life where we say. [Verse 1]. I had to write this in blood because the ink wouldn't stick. I sold five to six million but yo that ain't really shit. It was supposed to be different we were supposed to ride out. But too much shot his girl then shot himself in the mouth. Then the steady game form but very soon fell apart. ?cause when you just doing all with no the loyalty in your heart. Slight catch a long hymn on all these niggers. forgetting where they're coming from. And they're slowing down wait a minute. what we're running from?. This what we're supposed to do. here's where we're supposed to be. I hated MTV for trying to play me like a mockery. But that don't bother me I just fulfill my fucking contract. Small price to pay just to take a piece of my back. My back backfire assassination of my character. Just demassing millions in the America. My younger sister Erika just adopted a child. My older brother served fifteen he made it out. Even though my father loved me I ain't seen him for a while. Had to fight my baby momma bitch give me my nigger now. ?cause he's running out of time and I need him to understand. The way a superior man had build a brand. Niggas talk about my taxes had to pay to Uncle Sam. I'm surviving ?cause the lines ass crooked in the hand. [Verse 2]. Heartbreak disappointment my mother died when I was nine. I just wanted to join her. Now I miss to join her you get to California. I got something for you to do it was like I was anointed. Resurrected found my purpose. I remember meeting Dre. being nervous when I would kick my verses. I was virtually worthless my whole life was a circus. I was sleeping with serpents and I thought it is worth it. Got a call from Paul told me shit isn't working. Exchange words told me tell me that shit in person. He probably told Em. and by the way did he said it unapologetic twisted. made about him. I see Slim and he said he didn't recognize me. Was it that or did he let another man to find me?. I don't know but now I gotta get this all behind me. Follow my calling when I used to follow niggers blindly. [Verse 3]. I wish I had a better relationship with my uncles. Blood relatives I could turn to when I'm feeling trouble. And talk about my struggles. My uncle John Nail he only. put me on the phone with different females. And this is such a such nephew tell 'er what's up?. Ain't even ask about your man in Cali growing up. Fuck I drink it all and I smash the bottle. Self medicated numb but I'mma feel it tomorrow. It feel like pain and sorrow was like a second skin. But now the pain is gone I got my second win. Only the strong live long you better settle in. I'm fighting for ever I will never let the devil win. 1983 that's when my journey begins. I searched every world for strength only to find it within. This for me and my kid still dying to live. Living life to the fullest 'till I see you again
