[Lil' Zane] I know a lot of times, it seems like it gets hard. But you gotta always keep faith, and always look forward. You never know what the future gonna bring. You never know what's ahead.
[Lil' Zane] You got the attention of all the fellas so the chickens are jealous They at your toes when it rains tryin to hold you umbrella The new meat in town, all the niggas wonna get down When getting no play they frown, you on they bad side, they callin you bitch now Sophomore year, two years to go All you tryin to do is get your first car, and make doe Got a part time job, and the man callin your bluff Always out to cheat us if you love wasn't enough Problems in the home, daddy dearest done turned abusive He got your moms scared, so thoughts are skippin out are useless How can you get them grades, when you can't keep your focus 16 and getting hit this drunk nigga think he Joseph Givin you black eyes so in school you wearin glasses Friends ask what happin but believe behind your back they laughin You show no worry but the pain don't hide Baby girl wipe your eyes, Im here so don't cry And it's
[Chorus]
[Lil' Zane] You turn no fire till you lies, tellin me I was safe I can't take it no longer father open the gate I seen all I can take, child killin's and rape The same niggas that I used to love was showin' me hate My harts lyrics and my spirits through you body and soul Makin you feel the way I felt when these rhymes was wrote My antidote a little weed smoke, time and thought Makin me come up wit that raw shit, hurttin your hart I know you feel me cause you know things I'm sayin is true Now would I lie to you, about my life and what I been through Tell me have you ever lost a best friend, to drugs and gats Had to tell his mother knowin she would have an attack Sorry lady but your son and I was runnin the block Ran up in the wrong neighborhood, flossin our knots Actin folish when we should have been home in the bed Restin instead, Tony took two to the head He never made it
[Chorus]
[Lil' Zane] I went hot summers and cold winters, wit no dinner and-a Freezer full of ice ain't nothin nice And I never cream in my life, so when I did get it I had to work and run wit it, have fun wit it High speeds in 740's, niggas starin' hard Mini battles and war stories, bitches love my scares Sweatin Kev' cause he payed, and plus he from the yard No superstars, livin gods, is what we are Town to town, dick em' down, that's how we do it baby Under covers we wear rubbers cause catchin AIDs is crazy I do the unbeliveable and talk the sweatest game And see more doe then snipes on the money train Me bein broke is the funniest joke That's like a nigga tellin me I stole a song he wrote And I aint tryin to get caught up in all that madness, life is good Young world follow me, lets get up out the hood
