Uh gotta hold on
Uhuh gotta roll on
Gotta go for self
Know what I'm talking about, dear god
You got me living in a world of pain
Got nothing to lose
But a whole lot to gain
In the search for bigger better
No matter what the time
Or sign or bad weather
Still keeping it together
And you know, somethings really got a hold of me
Cause things ain't right like they supposed to be
But I still gotta roll on
I gotta go for self
And really hold on
And shed a tear
For the homie that died
Bury my peers
And may in peace they lie
I wonder why
There's so many smiling faces
In friends and foes
In so many places
Keep your head up
You gotta reach for the sky
Don't let nothing get you down
Or ever pass you by
It's okay to cry
That's what my daddy used to tell me
I used to think he was a man
But then he failed me
Dear God
If you can see inside of me
Take a look inside of me
Look real deep inside of me
Oh yeah
If you can see inside of me
Take a look inside of me
Look real deep inside of me
Oh yeah
So many people in this world die young
And most of the time
Is living life by the gun
With misled thoughts
Reappearing in my mind
And visions of war
And all my homies doing time
An upset youth
Though I never took my life for granted
Everybody wanna be the man
I can't stand it
See why every time I wanna go somewhere
I got 2 or 3 foos that'll stop and stare
Now don't hate me
Cause I'm doing for myself
Got a house by myself
And blessed with my wealth
9 years straight - 5 albums & I'm still strong
With fat hooks
So homie you can sing along
You can't front
You know how the song goes
A closed mouth don't get fed
In this world bro
It's bad enough being judged by
Looked at wrong
It's just the same old song
Come on
If you can see inside of me
Take a look inside of me
Look real deep inside of me
Oh yeah
If you can see inside of me
Take a look inside of me
Look real deep inside of me
Oh yeah
Can you tell me what's going on in the world today?
My whole society based on jealousy
With no happy tunes, only sad ones
Negativity in the hearts of the bad ones
I stay focused with my loved ones
And grab a hold
Protecting what's mine
In a world so cold
See only God can judge
That's what Pac would say
I'm soul searching
And digging for them brighter days
Now there ain't no justice
And no peace
Just a whole lot of wars
And people deceased
They got me stressing
With the world on my shoulder
And thinking about what's gone happen
To my son when he get older
What the future hold
And what's in store
Is heavens gate around the corner?
And knocking at my door
But that's okay
Because I'm down to ride
Take me out of this darkness
And in to the light
Dear God
If you can see inside of me
Take a look inside of me
Look real deep inside of me
Oh yeah
If you can see inside of me
Take a look inside of me
Look real deep inside of me
Oh yeah
If you can see inside of me
Take a look inside of me
Look real deep inside of me
Oh yeah
If you can see inside of me
Take a look inside of me
Look real deep inside of me
Oh yeah
If you can see inside of me
Take a look inside of me
Look real deep inside of me
Oh yeah
