We all gonna die, we bleed from similar veins.

You never know what's going on in somebody's mind. There's a lot of pressure on someone growing up. You have to watch it.

Losing my homies in a hurry, they're relocating to the cemetery.

I never killed anybody, I never raped anybody, I never committed no crimes that weren't honorable.

Now the whole worlds calling me a killer all I ever did was try to reach the kids with the realer.

If you walked by a street and you was walking a concrete and you saw a rose growing from concrete, even if it had messed up petals and it was a little to the side you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete. So way is it that when you see some ghetto kid grow out of the dirtiest circumstance and he can talk and he can sit across the room and make you cry, make you laugh, all you can talk about is my dirty rose, my dirty stems and how am leaning crooked to the side, u can't even see that I've come up from out of that.

God, When I was alone, and had nothing, I asked for a friend to help me bear the pain, No one came, except God, When I needed a breath to rise, from my sleep, No one could help me.. except God, When all I saw was sadness, and I needed answers, No one heard me, except God, So when I'm asked.. who I give my unconditional love to? I look for no other name, except God
