Intro

Yo Craig, they say I’m crazy
They could never understand the mind of a soldier

Verse 1

Born different
View da world from a 20/20 God’s vision
While my homies situated in da morgue wit da mortician
Surprised I survived 29 years of this hard living
Obsessed with death, everyday it’s on my mind
Revolutionary state of mind whenever Che’s on my mind
I wonder, what would happened if he succeeded in Congo
Would capitalism crumble
A true lion in da jungle
Stay humble
Hard to be great with rats and flees among you
Did you feel betrayed
When Castro turn the other way
Participating in this war is like taking a pledge to die
Real soldiers make sacrifices, promised a hard death, a bullet to da dome from da FBI

Cho

There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone, but some remain
And these places have their moments
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead, and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all
Verse 2

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
All the light in this world overshadowed by stress
My brother just got engaged, give praise my brother you’re blessed
Remember da lessons da streets taught us
Once was a son now you your sons father
All about family now
Remember when I used to rock your hand me downs
I was da flyest
Jail house and court house when they try us
You can’t kill da unkillable, forever immortal
2Pac told you bout Thugz Mansion and I hit you wit part two
For my people in da hood gun slinging
Perilous upbringing
Feel like you’re drowning, a lifeguard is impossible
Homie found love in da hospital
When his daughter was born
She opened her eyes, he held her in his arms
Opened da bible, blessed her with a psalms
Prayed his only child don’t suffer for his wrongs
Trapped in a world of poverty, what he gots to lose
Nothing, on da block hustlin’, just another brother for da cops to shoot
And tha same daughter grew up to be a prostitute
The cycle
Cho

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I'll love you more

Verse 3

Working hard like a Mexican
Riding his bike, food delivery, minimum wage
What’s his pay
50 bucks for the day
He sent half back to Mexico so his mom and sisters could eat
Cause in this world, ain’t no living for free
Works 12 hours a day doing delivery all week
Feeling weak
While da boss man pockets getting fatter
Cause to him, immigrants don’t matter
Even da president hates him
Implementing sanctions on immigration
I came to the realization, that we all need each other
One blood, one family, no matter the shade
My whole family got displaced when my own brother invade
I dedicate this verse to Nas
That God Son tape gave birth to Gods
Many quick to doubt you
For the record, I never believe a thing that your ex said about you
There are places I’ve been that I’ll never return
Troubleshooting life, we live and we learn
Till death comes, Damn! it’s like we’re all living to burn
Cho

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I'll love you more
In my life I'll love you more
