[01:44.14]Fiends wanna get higher than a bird's eye view
[01:46.17]And who am I to tell a nigga what to do

[02:28.35]**** 'em all, they don't know all the pain I fel
[02:30.79]I'm in awe, after all the fame I felt I evolve
[02:34.14]I no longer bury demons, I be a vessel for the truth
[02:36.98]Until I'm barely breathing, I'm singing
[02:40.90]Life is all about the evolution

[03:13.31]I give up, I give in, I move back a little
[03:15.77]I live up, I look up, now I'm back for more
[03:18.34]I reminisce back to a time where niggas threw they hand
[03:20.64]All of a sudden niggas pop a trunk and then we scra
[03:23.11]Finger on trigger make a little nigga understan
[03:25.52]What it's like to finally be the mother****ing ma
[03:27.96]Eyes wide that's from the power that the coward feels
[03:30.40]Niggas die over bitches disrespecting dollar bill
[03:32.84]Bloodshed that turned the city to a battlefield
[03:35.28]I call it poison, you call it real (pop, pop, pop, pop)
[03:37.48]That's how you feel?
[03:38.20]Pistols be poppin' and niggas dropping in a heartbea
[03:40.43]Scattered like roaches, a body laid on the concrete
