Half-Empty

(Verse 1) I'm half Malcolm Half Kennedy Friend Half enemy Band Half symphony Dope Put simply Half coke Half Earth Half baking soda Half a block Half a key Half the whole boulder Half slave Half king Cuz split half with a queen She fuck around an split the scene With half of your cream And half of your dreams Don't believe half the shit you see this lifetime And don't halfway believe Half the shit you hear half the time I keep an eye open You halfway sleep I don't spit raps at you I halfway preach To you shallow motherfuckas Stay halfway deep Motherfucker The Lord is my Shepard As I awaken the sheep Shallow niggas can't follow 'Cuz I'm way too deep Everybody "keeping it real" But grinning from cheek to cheek If you was really real It'll probably make you halfway weep (Hook) Is this cup half-full or half-empty? Is this clip half-full or half-empty? Is this road half-full or half-empty? Is your soul half-full or half-empty? (Verse 2) A kid dies We halfway say shit An innocent man is put to death You halfway think he did it ...And what good is innocence When the world thinks you're guilty? As about good as life 'Cuz the word wants to kill me I know you niggas feel me I know you niggas see it How they wanna see me dead, broke And defeated In no particular order As long as I'm slaughtered They say I break too many rules And cross to many borders My death I often thought of When I go How will I be thought of? Live long enough to die the villain Or die the martyr Will they remember me A coward or a Sparta? I could die today But you could die tomorrow People are scared to die But life is full of horror Still it's worth living Like there's no tomorrow Try to minimize all the jealousy and envy Cause you could have a million bucks And STILL be half-empty (Hook)
