Ghetto Gospel, Part 2

We gon' see if you can handle the pressure (like we do)

Serious, who get it done? (my people)

Twist it up and light it up (like me)

Then go (like me)

Go hard (like me, like me)

We gon' see if you can inspire the game (like I did)

You ain't never seen pain (like we did)

Pour it up, and drink it up (like us)

We hold (it's a must)

Go hard (it's a must)

They told me God gon' test ya

So many ups and downs

Now my texture like leather

I couldnt' settle for lesser

So I got up off my ass and got down for whatever

Everyday I see the same old bullshit

And any day now, could be the one I loose it

It's like my screws is loose

And the truth is

I'm kind of confused

I don't know what the truth is

They told me God gon' test me, I hope I pass

And get the chance to laugh last

I a rare breed

With a need for speed

And a hunger for numbers

I need to feed

Look how they seasoned me

The 'G' gene in me

It's the reason my people's believe in me

Here's to the past

My peers not with me (yess)

I pour liquor for years they spent with me

You say you want yours

Let me see you go hard homey

Otherwise you just wastin' ya time

And it's stickin'

Don't be a victim

Everybody dies by the hands of God

(ohhhhhh)

Can't nobody save 'em

Can't nobody blame when they just like we

(noooooo)

Can't nobody change 'em

Can't nobody save 'em

It's how it's gotta be

They say God gon' test ya

You fall hard, do you stand tall?

Or do you crack under the pressure?

In my own words like Pac's Resurrection

You do a U-Turn or heads in dangerous direction

The strangest confession, you do not know me

No matter how many times you niggaz press rewind and quote me

Son it's deeper then a rap song

I ain't tryna end up flat on my stomach

With half of my back gone

The pain I feel inside been passed on

Souljah to soldier everytime one of us pass on

So you ain't gotta ask what I mash for

I'm a lost soul, live and die by the code

I was taught to improvise when the funds low

Playin' hard, nigga never go gun-ho

I got one more

Little piece of advice

Don't play hard cause you playin' with yo life soldier

They say the Lord gon' test ya

Get down on ya knees my nigga

He'll definately bless ya

And I know you on some hard times

Shit only recently, I started seeing some good times

Somewhere deep in me, I kind of wanna live a good life

But all I know is traps, crack, and hood life

And they got me so gone

When I do get some money man

I spend it all on chrome

We so backwards

Niggaz take penitentiary chances, with nothing to show for it

Look... at the end of the day

If you gettin' paid

You better tuck some away

For a rainy day

Cause it is gon' rain

It's all good now

But it is gon' change

What goes up, gotta come down

Some niggaz survive

Some niggaz drown

What you gon' do?

We gon' see if you can handle the pressure (like we do)

Serious, who get it done? (my people)

Twist it up and light it up (like me)

Then go (like me)

Go hard (like me, like me)

We gon' see if you can inspire the game (like I did)

You ain't never seen pain (like we did)

Pour it up, and drink it up (like us)

We hold (it's a must)

Go hard (it's a must.. must)
