I told you bring the gun (Yeah I remember) Nah listen, without me you'd be a memory I'm the one you could come to for guidance Bring you home alive when you wildin Kept you out of harm's way, told you when to spray Told you when it's time to put it away and when the cops came, you was safe Without question, I stay aware Dunn I'm listenin Everytime we speak it's real, I know your intention's to make sure we both safe and livin, and breathin You gets all respect from me Dunn, believe it Yo we got kids to raise and bills to pay Enemies to lay down when they stand in our way, it's only us (What about the click?)

Aight then, you keep writin and let me do the thinkin, I brought us this far without mistaken Voices in my head from choices that I dreaded choosin Cautions I shoulda took head, lost in my weed, steady losin Thug stripes, badges of honor, forces to succeed Whores on they knees, fuckin with millionaires, killers and thieves I fuck until there's no feelin where, I bust and I pee I lusted cars but I suffered and my scars run deep I stay to myself, one deep, pray to my God cause he say when it's hard get on one knee, and ask Thy for forgiveness Fuck the cash, the ice, the Ferrari's with two-twenty on the dash when your life ain't right See niggaz smile up in your face and stick a knife in your back Snakes shake your hand and got his dick up in your wife back Why's it like that? It's life black, this is the game The way I see it both bitches and niggaz, is the same I trust myself, I can't fuck myself When hoes leave and no weed I still know me, just myself Fear is weakness learn from what experience teaches Beware of leaches, the vampires, my secret's never follow, cause most niggaz is straight up cowards Take care of my body's the temple my mind is the power
