rebirth

if i die before i wake

at least i lived life my way

hope that you remember me

came up fast

bittersweet

please prepare me mentally

'fore you take my song on mtv

now that you're no longer a lord that's trapped

you have graduated to the hood pope

you have made it to represent your people

show them another way

be the voice of the people who couldn't make it out the hood

make sure my family good

my ma still in the hood

i ain't rich like they think cause i copped me one mink

they think i got me a house with a big couch and a gold sink

with a model bitch with a gold ring

big ass fish in a fish tank

haha

you laughing

just put me in my casket

i ain't even into nagging

it's what it is

i'm passing

and though times is hard now

your success awaits them

i'm no different what y'all are saying

ferg made it out? well

i can play that game

you're not exempt from the growing chain

niggas forget who's afraid to change

you're the trapped lord

i will remain

hood pope

i'ma teach these confused folks how to maneuver

through folks and attention

get you choked

you know

slim model girls sniffing the coke

fiend on the block sniffin' the dope

i wanna help

i don't know

tell me the

antidote

how you hood and a pope

conscious thinking

ghetto though

i'll teach you how to build a grow tree

life like a bike and pedal slow

now you're the voice of the guys on the corners

and the kids who have no direction

guide them

through the trials and the tribulations

teach them the world can be accumulated with patience

if i die before i wake

at least i lived life my way

hope that you remember me

came up fast

bittersweet

please prepare me mentally

'fore you take my song on mtv
