Purpose

Life ain't shit until you realize the meaning
Just like crack ain't shit until you start the feinding
I started as a semen
Baptized by white demons
The reason why I'm screaming
Every time I spit rhymes
Every time that I choose to speak my mind
You see, the devil is behind
But everybody knows
A ghetto full of crime ghetto kids don't grow
Ghetto kid don't show
Emotions when they cocking back the pistol
When they coming back to get you
But that's a muthafucking lie
You see, we panic
When we stranded
And we're bandits
Only 'cause we're tired of being broke
And we wanna make dough
Cry times in the middle of the night
When it's quiet and nobody can hear me
A mind full of pride
Wiping tears out of my eyes
'Cause you wouldn't believe me
If I said that there's pain
In this crazy ass game
Better known as life

A purpose and a motto
Is all you ever need
I done dropped the bottle
And I stopped serving fiends
'Cause the message is clear
Build a foundation before I disappear
Before I disappear, homie

A purpose and a motto
Is all you ever need
I done dropped the bottle
And I stopped serving fiends
'Cause the message is clear
Build a foundation before I disappear
Before I disappear, homie

Life is what you make it
I started off naked
And I'm leaving the same way
So what's the sense of getting paid
If I don't share my wealth
And have to travel in stealth
There's no money in this planet that is better than my health
And I keep that in mind
'Cause in this land of the white
It's a struggle to survive
When I step outside
And I see kids wanna find
A place in this society
But that's a motherfucking lie to me
'Cause deep inside of me
It's hard to me
And out of me
To not see my anatomy
It beats the shit out of me
When I cross the boundary
I'm fond of me
'Cause I'm one of a kind
Uniquely composed
Check this puzzle my mind
It's hard to put together life a nice cool weather
And I'm definitely better
Than 5 years ago
When my alias was Side Show
When my mind refused to grow
But I don't blame me
If you figure you will see
That living in a ghetto ass place was just meant to be

A purpose and a motto
Is all you ever need
I done dropped the bottle
And I stopped serving fiends
'Cause the message is clear
Build a foundation before I disappear
Before I disappear, homie

A purpose and a motto
Is all you ever need
I done dropped the bottle
And I stopped serving fiends
'Cause the message is clear
Build a foundation before I disappear
Before I disappear, homie

Let me cut to the chase
Gang banging is a fucking disgrace
Represent your own name
Drop your criminal ways
And understand the game
You see, life has a purpose
And the curtain can close
Just about any minute
You gotta accept that there's death before you can live it
Make sure that the gift is right
Before you can give it
Make sure that there message is for real before you deliver
Living life in the ghetto is my main underline
Make sure that the getting is good before you get on the grind
Making mistakes is experience
But too many can make you delirious
Situation is serious
When you loading up the gun and you aiming at yourself
When you staring at the mirror and you can't tell
Who you are no more
'Cause the scars of war
Have made you forget
What the fuck you represent
All you have is regret
All you want is respect
But you can't get
There's a purpose to this shit so don't you ever forget
There's a purpose to life homie go find that shit

A purpose and a motto
Is all you ever need
I done dropped the bottle
And I stopped serving fiends
'Cause the message is clear
Build a foundation before I disappear
Before I disappear, homie

A purpose and a motto
Is all you ever need
I done dropped the bottle
And I stopped serving fiends
'Cause the message is clear
Build a foundation before I disappear
Before I disappear, homie
