Devils & Angels

Let me tell a story bout a... nigga like myself
Had to get it on my own wasn't askin' for no help
They was never really there for the pain that I felt
They ain't squeeze up on the trigger for the problems that I dealt

When we was in apartments there was roaches in the crib
Use to look up at the ceilin' thinkin' imma make it big
Now I pray lord forgive me 'cause I did what I did
If the cops ask me a question then imma plead the fifth
Wakin' up for war I been sleepin' in the futon
Put my boots on
Write my lyrics to this new song
It's a true song
I have dreams attendin' UCONN
Bag a scholarship you would think I'm Jimmy Neutron
Then I thought about it I could never be a student
That's how we started losin' we a victim institution
Told us go to college it's the only resolution
Reap the benefits from the money that we boostin'
Neva stayin' down yea I always pack a punch
And I'm... back to claim my plate a nigga hungry like it's lunch
If you all up in the way nigga... you gon' bite the dust
Like spin around the block and give the captain to yo crunch
Fights don't pay the bills so I came back to the rap shit
Fell down on my face that's when them niggas started laughin'
Ain't no lettin' up music always been my passion
Now we movin' up ask them niggas what had happened
When I had a problem Ron and Mitch done kept the semis tuck
Saw me chasin' dreams so I promised ain't no lettin up
Still the same nigga used read up on that Seneca
Buh go out in a bang you would think this shit is Set It Up
Money ain't the root dumb bitch that's that bag talk
Dollars top of dollars got me divin' off the cat walk
Pussy niggas steady on the run that's that cat walk
Catch 'em where they lay put they brains out on the asphalt

Let me tell a story bout a... nigga like myself
Had to get it on my own wasn't askin' for no help
They was never really there for the pain that I felt
They ain't squeeze up on the trigger for the problems that I dealt
Let me tell a story bout a... nigga like myself
Had to get it on my own wasn't askin' for no help
They was never really there for the pain that I felt
They ain't squeeze up on the trigger for the problems that I dealt
