[Verse 1]

Damn I really gotta thank you my friend

You were the only one that cared for me till the end

And then you looked out, you came up and did time

I can't believe I almost missed you that lunch time

When I usually give you money cause you starving

Haven't had a meal in 3 days, it's just starting

It's sad to see cause you were my brother

A peaceful man with a conscience like no other

But that's life I guess in all angles, not just the positive side of it

And that's the side effects that you get, when you got a few people to protect

And that's everything I wished for had to respect

And it's funny how the world changed up

When I met that girl Louisa in the big black truck, oh what?

First thing that caught my eye was that butt

Shaking it around with that sexy ass lil strut

But then I saw you were alot deeper then that

One of the reasons I even started to rap

And it's crazy cause I never had respect for a woman

You changed my view when I was a part of that Sermon

And I never was religious either

Mr "I don't give a fuck", just bumping that Ether,

Really deep inside I needed change I was eager

You taught me things no one else would see important

But I thank you for some things I couldn't really afford it

[Hook]

Only got one life to live, live it the best you can

Whether you a family man or a kid

Anything that comes together is a blessing, it's a blessing right

Ma its a blessing right?

[Verse 2]

Everything was fine until that lil thing happened

Outside your house when we were just rapping

I don't needa tell you anymore cause you already know

Took my keys, I started going at you, dissing you slow

Then that magic word slipped, called you a bitch and my whole world split

In like 2 pieces, can't believe I let that shit happen at Reeses

But what the fuck is there left for me to do?

It's not that easy to get my stuff and just leave

Feeling ashamed, saying goodbyes I don't believe

It had to come to this but my path was real rocky

Changed everything up, had to conceal my body

I did what was best for any person to do

I left you and picked up a book on hip hop

Interestingly enough, it got me to the top

It got me to reflecting, why I ain't half-stepping

Like Big Daddy Kane said a few years ago

Yes, we should really just fucken follow our goals

And everybody would be better off

Then be stuck in this maze, for days just really going off

Fuck a Molotov, I'll just throw myself in the riot

Struggle with my inner ideas I gotta be trying it

And everybody telling me how we die sometimes

But it's stupid talking about that, when you're young it flies
