[Verse 1]

Damn I really gotta thank you my friend
You were the only one that cared for me till the end
And then you looked out, you came up and did time
I can't believe I almost missed you that lunch time
When I usually give you money cause you starving
Haven't had a meal in 3 days, it's just starting
It's sad to see cause you were my brother
A peaceful man with a conscience like no other
But that's life I guess in all angles, not just the positive side of it
And that's the side effects that you get, when you got a few people to protect
And that's everything I wished for had to respect
And it's funny how the world changed up
When I met that girl Louisa in the big black truck, oh what?
First thing that caught my eye was that butt
Shaking it around with that sexy ass lil strut
But then I saw you were alot deeper then that
One of the reasons I even started to rap
And it's crazy cause I never had respect for a woman
You changed my view when I was a part of that Sermon
And I never was religious either
Mr "I don't give a fuck", just bumping that Ether,
Really deep inside I needed change I was eager
You taught me things no one else would see important
But I thank you for some things I couldn't really afford it

[Hook]
Only got one life to live, live it the best you can
Whether you a family man or a kid
Anything that comes together is a blessing, it's a blessing right
Ma its a blessing right?

[Verse 2]

Everything was fine until that lil thing happened
Outside your house when we were just rapping
I don't needa tell you anymore cause you already know
Took my keys, I started going at you, dissing you slow
Then that magic word slipped, called you a bitch and my whole world split
In like 2 pieces, can't believe I let that shit happen at Reeses
But what the fuck is there left for me to do?
It's not that easy to get my stuff and just leave
Feeling ashamed, saying goodbyes I don't believe
It had to come to this but my path was real rocky
Changed everything up, had to conceal my body
I did what was best for any person to do
I left you and picked up a book on hip hop
Interestingly enough, it got me to the top
It got me to reflecting, why I ain't half-stepping
Like Big Daddy Kane said a few years ago
Yes, we should really just fucken follow our goals
And everybody would be better off
Then be stuck in this maze, for days just really going off
Fuck a Molotov, I'll just throw myself in the riot
Struggle with my inner ideas I gotta be trying it
And everybody telling me how we die sometimes
But it's stupid talking about that, when you're young it flies
