God Is My Rock

What is joy without pain If its nothing left what is there to gain Whoever said sunshine brings happiness Has never danced in the rain I've worked for everything that I've obtained Looking at the clouds from the window of my plane All I could do is smile mama look how far I've came Proud Crazy cause it started as a dream Wow Shows that everything is everything I Remember days of Thinkin things would never change Taron And Tasha Talking about my shoes because the name Crying Walkin out the door to school cause I'm ashamed If only someone hada told me time will bring a change To always cease the moment because nothing stays the same That I would some day wish that I could do it all again There will be a time I found it cool to not complain I Learned from the wise to never shoot before I aim Game Judge trees by the fruit that hang Bang Blood bleeding from a wounded brain Another public school student dead at 17 Dang The younger generation won't sustain Everybody Blinded by the diamonds and the chains My homie say we Violent cause the climate Ain't the same Why is everybody so afraid to find a lane Why you so concerned who define you as a lame It's hard to not be carnal when the mind is in them chains I guess that's just the science to the game I work for every single fan I got The crew I thought was rooting for me left me out to rot I know Alotta cats was hoping I would be forgot Dropped ? I walked away so god could be my rock Cousin Onna phone screaming drizzy gotcha spot I guess the road to glory want enough to shut his chops Went Ova many heads it wasn't that it wasn't hot And then I dropped an elephant now everybody shocked Success is not defined by what you got But by the things you overcome when you been through a lot Don't mean that you successful jus because you at the top You possibly been stepping Onna mini toe but when you drop You gone wish that they would reach they hands to catch you but they not This life has been a blessing even if I never popped Who knew the kid that grew up in the ghetto with no plot Would someday be Makin cheddar off the letter that he jot And still gone put my mama Inna spot Gone make it out the ghetto whether you believe or not Gone give my all forever I was taught to never stop Until I'm settled and they puttin rose pedals on my box The pedal never stops The kettle or the pot Was taught to never settle It's better with no Geppetto on the top Freedom to do whatever whenever I can't be boxed you Get no respect in this industry when you not they Slinging Salami care less if you eat or not where they Kick in the door break the hinges or pick the locks just Make sure that it's done in the memory of PAC Time is ticking minutes running out jus like my pops Father thank god the inning was man enough to adopt Though everything was a limit he never left me to rot 17 I remember Tellin Nem we could box Rebellious in front of dell and relatives that would watch And get to see all the helling and yelling for me to stop I'm probably the blame for every gray hair my mama got Would go back and forth with a woman but couldn't pick up a mop Nobody could tell me nothing my ego was through the top My virginity had been broken all of the women was on my Joc Depressed because I was broke I needed to make some gwop I Went out and bought me some dope but I never could sale a rock My cousins was Onna oath and he would get Em off on the block And when he did he spent all the cash and Neva gave me my chop I don't mean to bring up the past but that's one I never forgot We look back on it now and laugh but when it happened it had me hot Because I was so full of wrath I'm surprised I never was shot I then done some things in my past that would have a priest Lookin shocked But I've over come all the bad now I'm on my way to the top Because god is my rod and staff and forever gone be my rock
