Keep The Faith

What can I say? It's so real

I don't even feel like talkin most of the time

It's ironic that I happen to emcee

Then I don't really wanna say shit

Kinda funny though

Huh

I always feel the ghost-es amongst me

I remember times when the roaches was hungry

The livin was grungy, if it's money I bungee until the cord breaks

Thinkin that I might be the one that's in the Lord's way

Am I the bad that's provokin the good

We all ride, all live and we smokin the good

But my nigga on the reel to reel

We move stock, 'til we not for gettin killed for bills

And it's all about the chills and thrills, and the good times

It's like the mob nigga, in it 'til the hood dies

Addicted to the concretes, addicted to the crates

If we don't get a connect, we stickin up a wake

What'chu know about a wake, with the bishop bein late?

All my jail niggaz standin up, fists up to the gate

Faggot-ass C.O.'s get the piss up in they face

Hold a grudge cause the judge never listened to the case

Even though you feel like, cryin

Just keep on smilin

Believin that, there is gonna be

somethin better past the pain

And even though it hurts, like hell

You, just keep on feeling

Don't stop moving

It's all worth it in the end - you just keep the faith

You can see it but you just can't vision it

Society judge a man for the way, that he live in it

Either you gettin money or deal with imprisonment

No in betweens - I'm gettin green

Spots in the world where, they don't know what dinner mean

It's really not that crazy in the paint

Hear 'Clef in the club, have Haiti on the brain

Surrounded by liquor drinkers, niggaz makin it rain

And the world's always changin but we still need change

Life's a bitch, is death like a good woman?

I ask that, cause I know the whole hood comin

And the fam comin, and do heaven got

a ocean or a dam runnin tryin to understand somethin

Flowin like a feather in the wind

It start off rough, do it get better at the end?

Do I go to a place, where I don't never have to sin?

Yeah!

I'm wicked in my ways cause my temperament

Ride for my crew and fuck, everybody's sentiment

You enter in the dragon or "The Gangster and the Gentleman"

Saliva, is like poison, with adrenaline

I spread love to the point I hit the hay line

Fuck jail and state time but you ain't gon' take mines

It sucks when you livin on gun terms

Rather be high on the island gettin sunburned

Live 'til I'm old know what my daughter and my son learned

Life is all real my nigga, you get one turn

I'm tryin to tell these boys that they oughta learn

It ain't just fire my nigga - even water burn

Faith makes all things possible

Faith is the reality of, things I hope for

And the evidence of things not seen and told

Keep the faith y'all, just keep the faith.
