[Intro: 8Ball]
This one's for you
Live life, love life
This one's for you
Live life, love life
This one's for you
Live life, love life
This one's for you
Live life, love life
[Verse 1: 8Ball]
It was a long time comin', didn't do it for nothin'
Somethin' show me every day this world on me bluffin'
My lil' nigga, he was a soldier fa sho'
My lil' nigga, I hate to see that nigga go
Guns blazin', a little baby out of control
It's so amazing, look at what the devil stole
My lil' nigga, he never got a chance to grow
To see the world in person, not on HBO
My lil' nigga, your mama cry herself to sleep
Hoping she wakе up and it was all just a dream
Not what it seems, I can still hear you scream
My lil' nigga, rеst in peace
[Verse 2: Cl'che]
Yeah, Cl' gon' show you, my sister, and tell you to get it fa sho'
You gotta be head smart and street stoned and get it and get on
I hate to see you get shortstopped from doing the things that you love
But the focus is now, so we gotta say fuck what it was
The mission don't stop 'cause He keep blessing to see
Sometimes for us to learn He take us to the streets
And we learn to cheat and He punish us well as sure as we can't defeat
So what you get is how it's gon' be
Now the reason that I'm singing this song for you
Is to let you know that there's no reason to be sad and blue
I come to show you you can break through
We all done been through a lot, it's not only you
That's why this song is classified for you
[Chorus: 8Ball, 8Ball & Cl'che]
I know I been through a lot, the pain don't ever stop
Ask God to bless me with all I never got
He put it in my root so I can do what I do
I feel blessed so I'm singing this song for you
I know I been through a lot, the pain don't ever stop
Ask God to bless me with all I never got
He put it in my root so I can do what I do
I feel blessed so I'm singing this song for you
[Verse 3: 8Ball]
It's all love when I see you, dawg
I don't envy niggas 'cause they think they got it all
Up in the club, Crissy Crissin' with them boppin' bitches
Some niggas ride you more than hoes 'cause you got riches
Baby mamas are street dramas that turn the trauma
My neighborhood is hotter than Arizona summers
My niggas homeless and still won't do what they should
Just because a nigga thuggin' don't mean he ain't good
Get him out the hood, let him see what he can be
This whole world is a oyster for you and me
Let's bust it open, get the pearls and the pretty girls
But don't forget about the ones who suffer in this world
Not them hoes with all them kids sittin' on they ass
Let's help them battered women get back on they feet again
So many niggas I lost can't witness what I do
So I'm singing this song for you, for you
[Chorus: 8Ball, 8Ball & Cl'che]
I know I been through a lot, the pain don't ever stop
Ask God to bless me with all I never got
He put it in my root so I can do what I do
I feel blessed so I'm singing this song for you
I know I been through a lot, the pain don't ever stop
Ask God to bless me with all I never got
He put it in my root so I can do what I do
I feel blessed so I'm singing this song for you
[Verse 4: Cl'che]
Got some money, bought some things I never had, ya know?
It's a trip how the world could be so goddamn cold
I'm living the life of a forever chick, stick to my goals
Paid the price in the past, now I'm balling out of control
Bumrushin' hoes 'cause I done been through a lot, so
If you want it, mash on it, get on top of whatever you do
Stay G and don't stop, oh
Now what it do, kick ass and break through until it drop
Now your baby sis done made 15, huh?
Rollin' with Big Daddy, she think and got some green, huh?
Floss in the slab with the DVD screens, huh?
It's strange how it all flipped with the century, huh?
Witnessin' hard times when I age of a baby
Now they got you in bad classes sayin' that you crazy
But they don't know what you done been through
They don't know you've been blessed to do the things that you do
That's why I'm singing this song for you
[Chorus: 8Ball, 8Ball & Cl'che]
I know I been through a lot, the pain don't ever stop
Ask God to bless me with all I never got
He put it in my root so I can do what I do
I feel blessed so I'm singing this song for you
I know I been through a lot, the pain don't ever stop
Ask God to bless me with all I never got
He put it in my root so I can do what I do
I feel blessed so I'm singing this song for you
[Outro: 8Ball]
Yeah, dawg
I know I've been through a lot
Know I've had a lot of problems, gon' have a lot of problems
But my problems are just a grain of sand on the beach compared to the problems of the world, you know what I'm sayin'?
We need to live for our children, be a parent to your kids
Don't let these rap stars and rock stars raise your children
They die fast
