[00:01.000] 作曲 : A Ross
[00:07.939] As I get a little older, I realize life is perspective
[00:16.703] And my perspective may differ from yours
[00:22.027] I wanna say thank you to everyone that's been down with me
[00:26.951] All my fans, all my beautiful fans
[00:32.337] Anyone who's ever gave me a listen, all my people
[00:37.978]
[00:38.636] I come from a generation of pain, where murder is minor
[00:41.396] Rebellious and Margielas'll chip you for designer
[00:43.767] Belt buckles and clout, overzealous if prone to violence
[00:46.233] Make the wrong turn, be it will or the wheel alignment
[00:48.774] Residue burned, mist of the inner-city
[00:50.764] Miscommunication to keep homi' detective busy
[00:53.227] No protection is risky
[00:54.491] Desensitized, I vandalized pain
[00:56.326] Covered up and camouflaged
[00:57.973] Get used to hearin' arsenal rain
[00:59.362] Analyze, risk your life, take the charge
[01:01.257] Homies done ****ed your baby mama once you hit the yard, that's culture
[01:04.328] Twenty-three hour lockdown, then somebody called
[01:06.655] Said your lil' nephew was shot down, the culture's involved
[01:09.077] I done seen niggas do seventeen, hit the halfway house
[01:11.761] Get out and get his brains blown out, lookin' to buy some weed
[01:14.384] Car wash is played out, new GoFundMe accounts'll proceed
[01:17.234] A brand-new victim'll shatter those dreams, the culture
[01:19.979]
[01:21.154] (I want, I want, I want, I want)
[01:25.784] But I want you to want me too (I want, I want, I want, I want)
[01:31.503] I want the hood to want me back (I want, I want, I want, I want)
[01:34.679] I want the hood
[01:36.363] Look what I done for you (Look what I done for you)
[01:40.438] Look what I done for you
[01:42.105]
[01:43.203] I said I'd do this for my culture
[01:44.984] To let y'all know what a nigga look like in a bulletproof Rover
[01:48.560] In my mama's sofa was a doo-doo popper
[01:50.853] Hair trigger, walk up closer, ain't no Photoshoppin'
[01:53.434] Friends bipolar, grab you by your pockets
[01:55.915] No option if you froze up, always play the offense
[01:58.491] Niggas goin' to work and sellin' work, late for work
[02:01.115] Workin' late, prayin' for work, but he on paperwork
[02:03.607] That's the culture, point the finger, promote ya
[02:05.717] Remote location, witness protection, they gon' hold ya
[02:08.085] The streets got me ****ed up, y'all can miss me
[02:10.617] I wanna represent for us
[02:12.468] New revolution was up and movin'
[02:14.247] I'm in Argentina wiping my tears full of confusion
[02:16.832] Water in between us, another peer's been executed
[02:19.200] History repeats again
[02:20.400] Make amends, then find a nigga with the same skin to do it
[02:24.380] But that's the culture, crack a bottle
[02:25.761] Hard to deal with the pain when you're sober
[02:27.636] By tomorrow, we forget the remains, we start over
[02:29.884] That's the problem
[02:30.654] Our foundation was trained to accept whatever follows
[02:34.236] Dehumanized, insensitive
[02:35.754] Scrutinize the way we live for you and I
[02:37.702] Enemies shook my hand, I can promise I'll meet you
[02:39.718] In the land where no equal is your equal
[02:41.645] Never say I ain't told ya, nah
[02:44.498] In the land where hurt people hurt more people
[02:46.600] **** callin' it culture
[02:48.504]
[02:49.281] (I want, I want, I want, I want)
[02:53.899] But I want you to want me too (I want, I want, I want, I want)
[02:59.718] I want the hood to want me back (I want, I want, I want, I want)
[03:02.760] I want the hood
[03:04.647] Look what I done for you (Look what I done for you)
[03:08.515] Look what I done for you
[03:10.482]
[03:13.436] Take the drums out
[03:16.510] Phew, phew
[03:23.409] Phew, phew
[03:28.858] Phew
[03:30.303]
[03:31.876] Celebrate new life when it come back around
[03:34.332] The purpose is in the lessons we learnin' now
[03:36.507] Sacrifice personal gain over everything
[03:38.992] Just to see the next generation better than ours
[03:41.413] I wasn't perfect, the skin I was in had truly suffered
[03:43.895] Temptation and patience, everything that the body nurtures
[03:46.279] I felt the good, I felt the bad, and I felt the worry
[03:48.637] But all-in-all, my productivity had stayed urging
[03:51.360] Face your fears, always knew that I would make it here
[03:53.607] Where the energy is magnified and persevered
[03:56.308] Consciousness is synchronized and crystal-clear
[03:58.646] Euphoria is glorified and made His
[04:01.030] Reflectin' on my life and what I done
[04:03.061] Paid dues, made rules, change outta love
[04:05.629] Them same views made schools change curriculums
[04:07.961] But didn't change me starin' down the barrel of that gun
[04:10.422] Should I feel resentful I didn't see my full potential?
[04:13.218] Should I feel regret about the good that I was into?
[04:15.450] Everything is everything, this ain't coincidental
[04:17.918] I woke up that morning with more heart to give you
[04:20.155] As I bleed through the speakers, feel my presence
[04:22.248] To my brother, to my kids, I'm in Heaven
[04:24.725] To my mother, to my sis, I'm in Heaven
[04:27.357] To my father, to my wife, I am serious, this is Heaven
[04:29.979] To my friends, make sure you countin' them blessings
[04:32.226] To my fans, make sure you make them investments
[04:34.712] And to the killer that sped up my demise
[04:37.059] I forgive you, just know your soul's in question
[04:39.486] I seen the pain in your pupil when that trigger had squeezed
[04:42.417] And though you did me gruesome, I was surely relieved
[04:44.732] I completed my mission, wasn't ready to leave
[04:47.182] But fulfilled my days, my Creator was pleased
[04:49.463] I can't stress how I love y'all
[04:51.111] I don't need to be in flesh just to hug y'all
[04:53.565] The memories recollect just because y'all
[04:56.108] Celebrate me with respect
[04:57.427] The unity we protect is above all
[04:59.888] And Sam, I'll be watchin' over you
[05:01.874] Make sure my kids watch all my interviews
[05:04.603] Make sure you live all the dreams we produce
[05:07.155] Keep that genius in your brain on the move
[05:09.470] And to my neighborhood, let the good prevail
[05:11.834] Make sure them babies and them leaders outta jail
[05:14.458] Look for salvation when troubles get real
[05:16.725] 'Cause you can't help the world until you help yourself
[05:19.408] And I can't blame the hood the day that I was killed
[05:21.676] Y'all had to see it, that's the only way to feel
[05:24.065] And though my physical won't reap the benefits
[05:26.584] The energy that carry on emits still
[05:28.937] I want you
