Finally Free

My life is rain
And everyday a nigga fight the pain
My dawg got slained
For his ice and chain
Niggas swiped the cane
The price of fame
Some OD
Some of them slice their vein
Die in the bathtub
On drugs
The flame ignites the brain
The artist suffer
And every album only getting tougher
Fifteen sold my first baggie
Nigga I been a hustler
But what it cost tho?
I took another loss tho
Also
Shooting the vampire with the crossbow
Blood suckers
Acting like brothers
To infiltrate you
J reed portraying the God
That's how the snake do
Jeru
Scientific madness
In this mazed zoo
We caged too
Like a bird without a wing
I know why the caged birds sing
And why the kids don't dream
And the pain don't sting
A million dollars can't heal fiend
Because you can't go clean
Because the pain is still deeply rooted
What made Basquiat shoot it?
The fans will say you stupid
But all the cars and the clothes
Could never fill the hole
To heal a soul
Damaged since six
Needing someone to hold
As tears fall on the paper
Sharing my energy
My niggas all finicky
They not who they pretend to be
At night I have nightmares
And wake up sweating
Getting closer to death by the second
Cuz in my section
Niggas life is over before it start
Madness in March
Shootouts is part of the game
The trigger got no heart
You ever been homeless
Driving with no place to go?
You ever had to ask to sleep
On someone's basement flo? (Floor)
You ever had to steal tissue
From the gas station sto? (Store)
You ever seen a nigga get shot?
His body shaking.oh!
Life is full of ups and downs
I almost drowned
in the pain
Nigga don't fuck around
I'm on the edge
Niggas want my head
Bitches in my bed
That only want my bread
Homies fed
Raided by sled
Bloodshed
Shots spread
Knocking off his dread
The poison ain't only in the lead
The shit is mental
These niggas Simple
The ancestors talk to a nigga
Wherever wind blow
Poverty just made me creative
I always been po' (poor)
Until I started selling dope
To my own folk
But I was still mentally poor
In a thousand dollar coat
Ironic
how a child born with nothing
Can die iconic
My skin was black
So the odds were more against me
But obstacles could never fence me
Nigga we finsta be
Finally free

Don't you wanna be finally free?
Dumb deaf and blind
But we finally can see
Another lost nigga finding a key
We all stars see the Diamond in me

Don't you wanna be finally free?
Dumb deaf and blind
But we finally can see
Another lost nigga finding a key
We all stars see the Diamond in me

(Rip Toya)
