Lyrics [Verse 1] I met this girl around the year 2000 She was astounding, with brown skin, just lounging Her voice was surrounding and pounding Everything around, and i love the way she sounded She would lift me up, (yeah) pick me up when i was down and We'd ride around town, just vibing to the sounds of life Innocent, though her livin was trife I didn't know about her past or why she carried a knife But i was being humble, didn't ask a lot of questions I was just a child, didn't know that she was stressin' Along the way she taught a lot of good lessons But over time, she was used like concessions Getting disrespected, it was hella hectic So much of her was gone i didn't know what was left and I was straight confessin that i missed all her blessings She told me i ain't gone; i swear I'll keep you guessing And to this day i realized she wasn't messin' I hear her every day, taking away my depression [Verse 2] As i grew up, i learned more about her elegance She was so intelligent and always staying relevant She ruled my life like the president, and i was just a resident Always staying hesitant, waiting for some evidence Cause i could not accept this Woman of beauty, it wasn't true to me Cause usually, a clue or two or three would get me past this eulogy But it was all new to me, L O V E turned over a new leaf And since that day we never parted ways I praise god for letting her stay over beats i play I can hear her say words that reflect my emotions And drown like the oceans I'm hoping she's growing Not bragging or boasting to cause some commotion I'm goin and floating on clouds that she's blowin The words than she's spoken will never be broken They're chosen and glowin because they're exploding With emotion and devotion, out of this world Your presence always motivates, baby girl I don't mind that I'm not the only guy that's fine Cause there are times when I'm crying, i go out of my mind Sick of backstabbers lying, and people always dyeing So i sit and write a rhyme and jot down some lines And then i talk to you, walk it through, now I'm cool because of you [Verse 3] After time moves on, you don't hear the same songs You could hear her go from right on to wrong But even if she rearrange and changed like the seasons I couldn't find a reason why i would be leaving She's keepin it real, but she's faking concepts Talking about the projects, and how she does it best But it was just a test, i knew her better that So i dug down deep just to see what's in tact And it had an impact on everything i knew Her underground sounds made it feel brand new But no one paid attention, and no one ever mentioned I think it's because nobody had a clue Of what she's been through, her past lives on Every time you hear a good beat or a song When you're all alone and you start to rap along When you listen to your iPod until the break of dawn That's her voice telling you not to stop Cause who I'm talking about ya'll is hip-hop

[Verse 1 -- D-Fro] Look at the way we're living I can see hunger in the eyes of the children I'm surprised that there's billions Going straight into the system We live as the victims Caught up in a world that feels more like a prison You think they would listen But instead of change, we sit around reminiscing We blame it on the times being different I despise the lies that have risen We wait in line, satisfied with what's given But again we contend with men That sin, drink gin and steal from their friends When will it end, we're sent to brink of insanity Can it be enemies of our own existence? Wishing they were gone in an instant But they're persistent, so i write another sentence For kids with a wish list that get nothing for Christmas Or people with a business that was dismissed It will be hard, but we can get through this [Hook -- D-Fro] Innocence, in a sense, is the opposite of greed People take what they want, and repel what they need It's just wrong what goes on, nobody takes the lead In order to grow you have to start with the seed I look around town and see people living poorly In every other city there's not a different story So in order to fix what I've done wrong I pour out my rhymes on every single song [Verse 2 -- Tru Lyric] If I could flip my life back to the track where We barely got by from the memories I've had there Would I? Never, but yet and still it haunts me forever But i told myself my kids will always live a life better Than i ever did do everything I never did But they will live their own lives, I'd never make them leverage Don't get me wrong, I'm not a gangsta and I wasn't broke But money was scarce and family issues made my mind choke The streets of my hometown don't get sun but smoke And are red with the blood of people that I once said hello The radio is telling me there's one life on the mic That is money sex drugs guns, there is no light Opaque, this a nightmare, shake me awake But my dad said fear no man fear is not on my plate So I strap up, lyrically, biblically, the chances of me winninning are slim But I'll keep spittin till infinity [Hook -- Tru Lyric] Innocence, in a sense, is the opposite of greed People taking what they want, and repelling what they need This is wrong what goes on, nobody's taking the lead Success or a failure, you still need to plant the seed Now up in this new town, people living poorly It's funny, in 810 there's still the same story So in order to show people what's goin on We pour out our rhymes on every single song [Verse 3 -- Tru Lyric] Liar is sayin well at least I'm not a hijacker Hijacker sayin I won't shoot you dead and smile at ya Killer is sayin bro at least I'm not in prison Prisoner sayin I woulda did it all different Slavery, you think its done homeboy that's what you're made to think Where do we get the mindset, yo its clear to me Hey Jay-Z why don't you stop boostin up yourself And take the billions that you own and help somebody else! [Verse 3 -- D-Fro] Cuz right now people barely getting by Getting high, ruined lives never think about compromise They wise with the wisdom of the streets, the hood is where they teach But it's never done correctly so they only listen to the beats And rap about drugs, thugs, and pulling slugs But they really need a hug and some love from up above So the time is now, you got to change your life And if it's done correctly we can make it right [Hook -- D-Fro] Innocence, in a sense, is the opposite of greed People taking what they want, and repelling what they need It's just wrong what goes on, cause nobody takes the lead In order to grow you have to start with the seed I look around town and see people living poorly In every other city there's not a different story So in order to fix what I've done wrong I pour out my rhymes on every single song

Lyrics [Verse 1] Have you ever in your life felt empty inside? Like you just wanna hide, and let your feelings subside? It doesn't matter where you ride, there's no place like this Stuck inside a maze in your mental abyss There's no way to escape unless you think about the present Some memories are presents, they can change you in a second For better or worse, if its a blessing or curse You have it for life, no matter how much it hurts I remember this one time, I was 9 years old In October cold, the words that I was told Really changed my heart, and it hurt my soul My father was gone, too soon for me to know But I remember the times that we shared together And the lessons he taught got me prepared for whatever So during days of grey clouds, or stormy weather I have memories of times that were so much better [Verse 2] If you're ever ever stuck between good and evil Reflect on your people, the mentors and teachers Believers, and achievers, the alcohol, the reefer So study your thoughts and it'll make your mind clearer The answer should be simple once you balance your equation Never make decisions without a hesitation Because there are times you don't know what you'll be facing Life can be a bitch, but man, that bitch is amazing She'll have you running for her for as long as she can But when ya'll break up, there's no chance to make up So you'll never ever ever be together again Treat her good, and she'll be your best friend Death on the other hand is a different circumstance When you're gone, you're gone, sometimes without a glance For a very lucky few, they recieve a second chance But for the rest, in my head is where they dance [Verse 3] Whatever you do, remain cautious Live life flawless, and stray away from all the nonsense Sometimes its simple, but its usually compelx Never fall in love with objects, its hinders progress If you ever have a test, practice will make you the best Obsolete on the street, with quicker minds than the rest No one can contest with success you possess Remember God's gift and you'll always feel blessed whenever you get stressed, think about the memories they're all in your head, the past is a friend to me death is the enemy, but its still in my mind those who are dead are still in there, confined
