[length: 04:55]

[00:00.75] Allow me. to break it down. ah yea yea yea yea yea
[00:09.66] Life.
[00:19.60] This is dedicated to all my folks
[00:23.17] Diagnosed with a bad case of that proper upbringin
[00:26.53] And never took the time to fall in line or follow
[00:29.20] Or swallow the thoughts
[00:30.47] Of the recognized committees who lurk throughout ya cities
[00:33.15] Ya hood, ya town, no matter which type
[00:35.52] You from the same type of people try to hold you down
[00:38.30] Just because you tailor made for bigger and better things
[00:41.35] Never missed a chance to move ahead of things
[00:44.01] And what does it bring? I tell you for me
[00:46.57] It brought jealousy in back wounds from all the stabbin
[00:49.41] Cats posin as my fan just to get grabbin what's mine
[00:52.96] I'm livin in times where my daughters are found around
[00:55.98] Kids who can't afford thinkin caps
[00:57.99] But always found drinkin raps and eatin off beats
[01:00.57] Claimin laws of the streets - but who made the laws?
[01:02.70] Everybody playin rebel with no sign of a cause
[01:05.73] Well I, feel the world around me
[01:08.61] I've found, that others, will bring you down, just to be down
[01:13.11] You've got to make up your mind, where you wanna be
[01:17.38] Where you wanna go with your life
[01:19.80] With your life...
[01:21.56] Yo, I'm never singin the blues but findin the clues to maintain
[01:24.55] And I been blessed to reign supreme over nearly every dream
[01:28.05] I had, and I made it come true
[01:30.05] I'm an imperfect man and I'm holdin the clue
[01:32.78] To perfection, it doesn't seem to matter what direction I look
[01:36.02] I find people settin traps
[01:37.72] Tryin to find the goal - without havin any maps
[01:40.43] Even friends of mine, jumped on line, just to become my adversary
[01:44.48] They felt they were entitled to the dairy I made
[01:47.33] They don't come to chill or behave
[01:49.20] And they got, toast ready to burn
[01:51.52] Not learnin to live, but they yearnin to take what you earn
[01:54.73] Well I, feel the world around me
[01:57.88] I've found, that others, will bring you down, just to be down
[02:01.47] You see - you've got to make up your mind,
[02:04.55] Where you wanna be
[02:06.29] And where you wanna go with your life
[02:08.93] With your life...
[02:15.07] So quick to place blame,
[02:20.86] And deny the shame we bring upon ourselves
[02:24.25] So many names held accountable for my own account
[02:27.43] When a large amount was weight, that I made and shaped
[02:30.46] When I climbed I found
[02:32.45] It was hard to find others around to point my fingers at
[02:35.20] Which made me realize the truth
[02:37.56] The biggest suppressor could be your own ego
[02:39.57] Lookin for an excuse
[02:41.11] To plant roots, in a field of self-sorrow
[02:43.19] To sprout and follow the first thing you feel
[02:45.75] Nourishes your hunger to be respected, it gets hectic
[02:49.01] And when I'm watchin the news, and my daughter walks in
[02:51.73] And choose to ask, "Why were all those people on the floor
[02:55.11] Sleepin, covered in red?" I told her
[02:57.07] That they were lookin for God,
[02:58.89] But found religion instead
[03:00.29] Well I, feel the world around me
[03:03.49] I've found, that others, will bring you down;
[03:06.32] Just to be down
[03:08.03] You see, you've got to make up yo' mind,
[03:10.28] Where you wanna be
[03:11.75] And where you wanna go with yo' life
[03:14.14] With your life, with your life
[03:45.20] I need my space, to live...
[03:53.69] Well I, feel the world around me
[04:00.32] I've found, that others, will bring you down;
[04:03.48] Just to be down
[04:05.75] You see, you've got to make up yo' mind,
[04:07.42] Where you wanna be
[04:08.91] And where you wanna go with yo' life
[04:11.32] With your life, with your life
[04:17.59]
