appreciation

let me talk about some real subjects

man

speak on some real subjects

bruh

you know i gotta come off real every time

man

i'm e-40

man

i been spillin' these really deep messages for many moons

man

listen up

life is finicky

you never know when you creatin' a memory

you never know when you creatin' a enemy

you never know when you creatin' a friend to me

tryin' to get by

tell the devil that he's a lie

gotta bleed the blood of jesus

and repent before we die

love yo' family

even though they can be wrong

cause you gon' miss 'em

when ya family dead and gone

hug and kiss 'em

don't let 'em think that they're alone

tell 'em you miss 'em

and they always welcome home

]

make sure

with loved ones don't ever act evil

and pick up when folks tryin' to reach you

and be sure they know that you appreciate them

cause what you have can be gone in a blink

what really matters is not what you think

so be sure you show some appreciation

tough times

no goals

dark hearts

lost souls

snakes

sharks

black roles

fake smarks

scarecrows

should i keep this job?

or should i go back to push and hustlin'?

a little bit of somethin'

is better than a whole lot of nothin'

every time i take a step forward

i take a step back

and every time i take a step back

i take a step forward

never kick a person when they down

lift 'em up

you never know when you gon' need a hand

or a buck

if he on drugs and you knew him

don't walk away from him

walk to him

don't stay away from him

talk to him

cheer for him

don't boo him

tell him you here for him

'fore you lose him

happy to hear from him

move him

be careful

but embrace him

give him some game

lace him

my mind is filled with rage

the ghetto is a cage

we got a lot of talent

but we ain't got no stage
