Proud

When the moment comes,
And you gotta own it,
Waylon & Willie, Struggle

I'm Paul the Apostle, This is my Romans
I notice the road is condolence to my opponents
Foam at the mouth
I start for the moment
Combing through the engine
Seeing all the broken components
Never say die, My slogan
Hoping it's not over
Atonement for my wrongs
Streets is cold
Time is frozen
Poet of the broken
Chosen by an omen
Fathered from poverty but a shark in this ocean
They was drinking the Kool-aid
I concocted a potion
Emotions from a motion
Discovered there's no devotion
Home in the morning
Hunger pains, no bitchin moanin
I been waitin for this moment
Now i'm gonna own it

I just hope I made my mama proud
I hope that my God is smilin when he's lookin down
And I remember when there was noone around
Noone was to be found
And I was on the ground
We all know when you ballin
That everybody's by your side
But when you falling
So many people run and hide
Are you really down to ride
When you know someone will die
Are you still a friend of mine
When our life is on the line
On the line.
(When a life is on the line)

Know the streets gonna slow you down
People in the streets are the goal but why
You don't really understand me
If you ain't from a spot where noone smile
Man it's so hard for me to take it
Feel it in my bones and i can't shake it
You might not understand my raising
If you ain't from a place where nobody makes it

And i swear i feel your pain
I know where you coming from
I went to war with the same demons you runninn from
I know when the money comes
That's when the problems grow
Even if its a one and done
I hope you reap what you sow

Met a beatle on the moon
He told me about my future
He said some stars are falling
And some stars are shooters
Pay attention to the universe
And you'll see it's so translucent
With faith the size of a mustard seed
Find a mountain and you can move it
I can do it

I just hope i made my mama proud
I hope that my God is smilin when he's lookin down
And I remember when there was noone around
Noone was to be found
And i was on the ground
We all know when you ballin
And Everybody's by your side
But when you fallin
So many people run and hide
Are you really down to ride
When you know someone will die
Are you still a friend of mine
When our life is on line
On the line.
(When a life is on the line)

I'm James the apostle
First to be martyred
My freedom was bartered
Taken not borrowed
The pain and the sorrow
So i pray for tomorrow
I live for the moment
Never fear what will follow
A leader, I'm in it
I fought in the field
Brought em out the valley
So we stood on the hill
I stood on my heels
Enemies on the ground
Screamin at the clouds
I hope that you're proud

I just hope i made my mama proud
I hope that my God is smilin when he's lookin down
And I remember when there was noone around
Noone was to be found
And i was on the ground
We all know when you ballin
And Everybody's by your side
But when you fallin
So many people run and hide
Are you really down to ride
When you know someone will die
Are you still a friend of mine
When our life is on line(on the line.)
