[Verse 1: Bless] Rob was robbed of his life To be honest, the finer lives are behind us But here is my promise to Lisa I live amongst the believers of course But memories aren't so peaceful I live in the bottom of the food chain But I'm doing two things well Mike brought a knife to a fist fight Recognize you might fail to survive You might fail to survive this day Right above my eye, I'm partially blind A lighter was put to my face This situation would make you go crazy Elimination is safer or maybe retaliation aborts your innocence today Living in this place of hatred [Hook 1: Bless] This feeling I feel inside Is slowly killing me But really, I'm just bleeding out There's a knife stuck in my chest And I can't get it out So maybe I should.. die [Verse 2: Bless] Still I want that shot Might as well just shoot Lighting up that block with *gunshot* (pellets) Threw a few at my melon Thank god for jeeps Let it all die down, I make a run for it Clear shot home Never did I bang, all I wanted was peace Never did that matter to police When I got home I screamed EVOL is everywhere, EVOL is everywhere If I'm the future, I'm used to just being truthful That never left -- Get a hold of yourself Never down the talent that I possess Losing my balance Imagine living this day like your last Man, I don't even think like I used to Living life's a challenge at best Unless I'm depressed from suppression of adolescents I guessing making impressions was better than just progressing Towards something that's useful But you'll only see my future if you fast forward Yeah, I see you joking, what'd you laugh for Knowing that I'm young and I won't choose sides I was not put here just to be divided Like Kendrick said, "Don't kill my vibe" [Hook 2: Bless] This feeling I feel inside's life confined Even if I'm blind I was dreaming of being free Then woke up to another lie Who, what, when, where I was searching for hopes of a piece of mind Cause we're really doomed if we fall of that trail and get left behind (2x) (Go time!) [Verse 3: Bless] I feel like I'm out of time The flashing of red and blue A brand new whip and a chain with a rollie's given to you But what am I supposed when the coppers get me confused With a murderer on the loose named Michael I'm living proof of his death.. [Outro] ---- 2nd Half [Verse 1: Bless] That's how I'm feeling, I'm as real as it gets I'm as ill as can be My appeal to a serial killer's what a pill is to me I never imagined gaining so much notoriety for killing my own brother Never telling my mother cause I ain't got a dad He got gunned down Before he jumped us into gangs We was stuck in the ground But I ain't trippin' because I got friends And I love to hear them cheer.. (Like that!) [Verse 2: Bless] How could I be so blind Was I in the wrong place at the right time Or was Rob in his right mind when he told me the day was among us Because I suffered a lot And every second that I looked, it grew tougher to watch As I grow, I get more intelligent I would tell you to do some soul-searching But it's hanging in my closet with your skeleton I was never ashamed of what y'all thought of me Because I'm living off every lesson Jalisa taught to me So when you stabbed me, I was helpless in a way Because I'm selfless, unselfish God help us if we pray But here's the twist, to coexist Somebody always has to pay And in the midst of being missed It hit my friend and went astray First gun, then knife Headshot; dead wife, dead kids, dead dad Seven bullets; think twice I promised Rob that I would do this as a thank you But I will slice my wrist to the portrait that you painted of them cheering..
