He never had a mom
And never had a pops
Movin' from foster homes
16 n he slangin' rocks
He traded his teddy bear for a knife
And knife for a gun
And now there's some things
That cannot be undone
Sleep will never be the same
Always got an eye open
Wishing he could quit the game
Sleepless, these nights hopin'
Took the pen, wrote it down
Didn't pretend told em' how
To make the RIGHT TURN
But no one, even heard one word

I live in a place where...
They wont listen...
I live in a place where
They watch glisten and they don't see the time
They don't see the time
That pass along gone
That pass along gone
The life we're missing

Labels, like the street appeal
Secret never been revealed
But, said they'd seal the deal
If he willing to conceal
The fights, the strife, the wife, he lost, his friends who lost they life
The nights, the pints, of sweat, he dropped, just tryin to
Make it through the night
He like, alright... the wider range to get to see the light
Not knowing, he was just perpetuating this gang life
Young ones, only hearing about the shine
Seeing, the stacks the women, so in they mind
That's the way to go
Video audio
Very much mind control
Unaware of the power that he holds, so he goes
Along with the show
44's in every rhyme
Like his album was a gun shop
Clips in every line
Every word is a gunshot
Claiming dollar signs
Like a religion
Kids eating up this garbage
Like some pigeons
Blue skies, turned into a bloody vision
He had been controlled, like the puppets up on television

I live in a place where...
They wont listen...
I live in a place where
They watch glisten and they don't see the time
They don't see the time
That pass along gone
That pass along gone
The life we're missing

Empty prescription bottles
All over the bathroom
Broken mirror, background, you hear this sad tune
Before he died, I guess, he just sat nude
Bad news, see, I couldn't live with that too
When police came, the same story was on the screen
Bloody murder, perpetrated, by this one teen
Local school boy, wasn't even 18
Shot up his school
And you see the sad thing is to see
On his shirt shirt
There was your face
The rapper indeed
Now what, to do
When others bleed
For the words that you speak
You man enough to face, the havoc you reap
Or just drown yourself, cuz you're unable too weak
I feel like
We have a gift
But with power comes responsibility
Don't under estimate ability
To misunderstand
The message at hand

I live in a place where...
They wont listen...
I live in a place where
They watch glisten and they don't see the time
They don't see the time
That pass along gone
That pass along gone
The life we're missing
