and
Son and friend, you have to live cause things don't change it
My scene changed, play the game, you have to live cause things don't change it
I'm with the bad, the bad with the good, I'm from the hood, so don't y'all get misunderstood
What I saw and what I see, who you keep for company
I learned that from my grandma B, I'm open then I'm closed
I keep a rose from the funeral I plan to see water, it will love and watch it grow
I'm not your average Negro, the scientific universal non-commercial
I'm shining in the rain, I'm even getting joy from the pain
I do what I do to maintain, I wear it on a beam
Don't let no one control your self-esteem, remember that life is just a dream
I'm glad, I try to walk that beautiful path
The booty signatures, I'm signed known as all the grabs
And to uplift is a gift that you fill in it
Let your mind and your body hear your spirit, sun to the moon to the stars
Knowledge, wisdom, understanding, life if you live is demanding
Food, water, shelter, who's gonna help you?
Time's getting hard, everybody's out for some
I'm shining in the rain, I'm even getting joy from the pain
I do what I do to maintain, I wear it on a beam
You have to live cause things don't change it
My scene changed, play the game, you have to live cause things don't change it
My scene changed, play the game, you have to live cause things don't change it
My scene changed, play the game, you have to live cause things don't change it
Food's momma's only needed, defeated, broken, he walked the thing and it got him off the street
His uncle told him, talk with sheep, what and where he thought he'd be
But still could see the finish line, he think it only finish lines, a finish line
A friend and all the women, what's behind him?
They resided, run to the Philly finish line, no one's so refined, broke with it
But until then, ain't nobody feeling him for him
They're killing him inside, don't even know when he won't show it
High behind his pride, there's only thought he's mad
Don't blow it, if you fold and walk away, yeah they gon' talk for days, don't have a show for you
Lost your way at open shows on his face, exposed the rooms in a place with only clothes in a case
And looked us up as if he on a mission, wishing he was bold enough to close his own case
Afraid of baiting deep down, if you leave seas now that this a movie won't make
It's like the one that hovers above him is pumping the brakes like rain
Life is your name, sun and rain
You have to live cause things don't change
Life is your name, sun and rain
You have to live cause things don't change
Life is joy and pain, sun and rain
