When I lost it all
That shit hurt my pride
When they killed my dogg
Man apart of me died
I lost my mind it was hard to find it
I prepared heart of a lion
I thought it over
And green is dead
Until I change my mind
The color's red
You know the story niggas smile in yo face
But they want what you got
I invest in myself
I aint in to the stocks
When you loyal and humble
They try to play with yo mind
'Till the blower out
Like I finished mowing the lawn
Tired of coping with death
And seeing family stressed
They feeding them the answers when they taking they test
While we learn struggling ways
Without the knowledge to change
And never see nobody make it playing it safe
So though we handling business
I'm still from the trenches
Know you throwing a curve ball
I seen you signal the pitcher
I operate off facts I don't need yo opinion
I always knew I was different
Cuz when I lost it all
That shit hurt my pride
When they killed my dogg
Shit apart of me died
I lost my mind
It was hard to find it
I prevailed heart of a lion
I do this to break the cycle
Oo oo oo
I do this for the ones that fill like me
Too oo oo
I do this for my family
Oo oo oo
I thank God for my fans
All they want is a picture
They show up to my shows they recite all my scriptures
Promise Im a fade away if I come off of my pivot
Cuz why you playing deffence
I thought you was my nigga
Why you competing with me
Thought we was on the same team
Wasn't content with the hood
I had to follow my dream
I hate we growing apart
But shit it is what it is
I ain't mad about my past
But I want more for my kids
I pray that you make it
I pray if you lose
You learn every lesson
So it don't continue
I pray you reach your goals
I pray you wealth
Don't want to see you broke
I pray you wealth
I pray that you have giudance
Whenever you need it
I pray that you stay confident never conceited
I pray that you stay humble
And never jealous
I just want for you what I want for myself
Cuz when I lost it all
That shit hurt my pride
When they killed my dogg
Shit apart of me died
I lost my mind
It was hard to find it
I prevailed heart of a lion
I do this to break the cycle
Oo oo oo
I do this for the ones that fill like me
Too oo oo
I do this for my family
Oo oo oo
