Chasing Faith

So a nigga ain't have no direction

Locked up in my own mental prison

Suicide on my mind, no one listen

Made a nigga remain so distant

From the ones that could help me cope with it

Heart closed nigga, feeling indifferent

Can I stand on my own?

Pain on my dome, fucking up my zone

Dreams surrounded in darkness, heartless

Mind fucked up, thoughts littered with garbage

Desolate minds, so my pace move lethargic

All of this pain is what made me an artist

Picked myself up off the ground

Push a nigga forth where they chalk them out

Need it to rain in my endless drought

Cause all a nigga rivers filled up with doubt

Free, free, let me tell you what I mean

Cause a nigga grew up in the coldest of streets

Hood real gutta, make ya fold up your dreams

Old school system bring the clones from the weak

Robbing, they stealing but the plot only thickens

Cause the cops hitting niggas 'fore they reach for the phone

Try intervention, but the confidence missing

So they got all the children and they stripped off my hope

Damn, damn, feeling like death

Where do you turn when a nigga need help?

Trapped in your conscience, your conscience gon' melt

You busy watching what they do and you fail

I'm try'na show you that a nigga been there

Crucify myself, a story to tell

If you thinking that you stuck in a jail

The key is in the room, you standing

Right there

When you lost in this world, man it's hard to relate

And your back's on the wall, only choice is go straight

Road signs, left, right, which path do you take?

Only one lead the way

Tell me which one that's down for your faith

Nigga, which path you gon' choose?

Both got they perks, but one is for the few

Other is bright and gold and shining too

Either one you pick, you win or you lose

One is for the dark and one is for truth

One will keep the voices, one is on mute

One will keep you hanging inside a noose

Other teach you all the ways to unloose

Woke up from a dream we're still in

Will we ever break free from these chains on skin?

Got an axe, in a flash we'll be back making sense

Bring it back on her ass, mine blowing in the wind

Bold thoughts of a king, go hard but fuck brain

So hard to sustain, just a product of the game

Young ace hit the safe, get involved with the snakes

Pull your car, better keep a guard, niggas might take everything

Had to clean my karma, now there ain't no drama

Always felt like the target, with a chink in my armour

I'm taking shit from my father, never listen, why bother?

Too lost in the ego, could've tried way farther

Cause my dogs, they lethal, get a path, they eat you

Had to get up, get out of the track they lead you

But we live now, that Cali lifestyle, my eagles

Had the wars peaceful, had to stop and eat full

Used to bang with the dirt, quickly leave you blood stained

Pants hanging and things changed, nigga fuck fame

Through the pains they could see the sun cause we up late

Hitting Jane, writing to the drugs, but the sub cray

Remember thinking is this gonna pay off?

Is a nigga really gonna have to get a day job?

Till my niggas load the guns, hit the streets, then we mob

No shoulder to lean on, to show my allegiance the worth of bond

12 years old when I took my first toke

Then I never looked back, since then been ghost

Soul is gravitated to this shit that stayed away the most

If my mama only knew about the shit that I indulged

Would've been without a home, probably laid up with a stone

Was a stinky little brat, throw packs under my stove

Burning dodie in the crib, nobody knows

Showing up to every period smelling like an O

When you lost in this world, man it's hard to relate

And your back's on the wall, only choice is go straight

Road signs, left, right, which path do you take?

Only one lead the way

Tell me which one distant from your faith

Nigga, which path you gon' choose?

Both got they perks, but one is for the few

Other is bright and gold and shining too

Either one you pick, you win or you lose

One is for the dark and one is for truth

One will keep the voices, one is on mute

One will keep you hanging inside a noose

Other teach you all the ways to unloose

(What you gon' choose?)
