Section 8 housing
Welfare cheese
Brotha's on the corner
Smokin to keep their minds at ease
Broken up families with no father figures
It's a fight to stay alive who you callin a nigga
Surrounded by negativity
But still I'm gonna
Do what I gotta do but not on the corner
The world is filled with so many troubles
Duck and dodge them all
Gotta maintain my hustle
Keep my head up
tall I stand
Make no mistakes
I'm a strong black man

Like Tupac said “Keep Ya Head Up”
Because if you don't
you might find your self stuck
in a position with no way out
all because you wanted to be the man
with money women and clout
I shout to all my brotha's out in the street
Handle your business but keep it discrete
There are a lot of people who don't want to see you make it
There are even more people who won't hesitate to take it
Keep your guard up and be on point at all times
And do your best not to get caught up in a crime

“You Should Spread Love Not War” like Mobb Deep said
Because when war is spread all that's left is blood shed
And bodies of the people who are dead
Gone from this world from 2 to the head

How can I be positive in this negative world
That's like mistaking a little boy for a girl
How can I make it is the question you say
All you have to do is stop and just pray
To the heavenly father the protector of all
To keep me on my feet and catch me if I fall
