It's a feeling I get when I think about the dead
People who are no longer with me are voices in my head
They're telling me right from wrong to keep it tight and strong
I feel a hand on my shoulder as I write this very song

White noise in a black room, I know it's not the weed
One day alone in the studio, who do I see
My Uncle Richard, as a shorty, used to call him tio Money
Been gone for years, so I swear he appeared right in front of me

He said, you're crazy the way that you live and amaze me
Then he called me lazy and told me that's not the way he raised me
You can imagine my face, see, I couldn't even face him
Worked up the courage, asked why did the Lord take him

And is he with my grandmother? You will understand, brother
I said, when? He said, when I was dead
You're not ready to comprehend what all this means
Then he left for now and then he comes to see me in my dreams

I know somebody's around that I can't see or hear
But I feel him without fear like they're holding me down
Watchin' my back, every move with a hand on my shoulder
Always doin' shit over and over, but it helps
Knowing somebody's around that I can't see or hear
But I feel him without fear like they're holding me down
Givin' me hope, lift my spirit when I feel like it's over
Hear a voice tellin' me, keep goin', soldier, you're not ready

I felt a breath on my neck and it woke me up
Looked over my shoulder to check and I froze up
Not knowin' what to do next, I rose up
Only to see my hands filled with cold blood

Now I'm wonderin' what the f*ck is goin' on in my head
Am I hearin' voices or am I talkin' to the dead
Am I makin' choices or am I quick to hit the lead
Could it be noises and then faintly a voice said

Son, you don't need no gun, you need the truth
But nowadays it seems that honor don't get used
So you gotta do whatever it is you do best
Follow it with pure passion and chase it relentless

The good or bad, we wanna life's little test
And if you take the hood way out, I got your back at your request no doubt
I knew at this point that I wasn't trippin'
His vision cleared up and I was caught up in some dumb shit goin' to prison

I know somebody's around that I can't see or hear
But I feel him without fear like they holdin' me down
Watchin' my back, every move with a hand on my shoulder
Always doin' shit over and over
But it helps knowin' somebody's around that I can't see or hear
But I feel him without fear like they holdin' me down
Givin' me hope, lift my spirit when I feel like it's over
Hear a voice tellin' me, keep goin' soldier, you're not ready to die

Imagine bein' told, if you accept, heaven is yours
You were built for war, but your heart won't let you destroy
Always thought like you were different and you tried to avoid
All the visions my father's given you since you were a boy

That woman that sings to you in your dreams, that's from me
To keep you aware of us, give you the strength to believe
If you accept, then the door will be open, I'll let you see
What you really hear, who you really are, what you believe

At this point, I think I'm havin' delusions, confusion
Overrulin' anything that I know, I'm only human
Just then, the temperature in the studio rose up
A shadow of a dark man appeared, I froze up and said

Since your friends up there failed to give you details
They ain't tell you what's gonna happen if you fail
Straight to hell, and I'll come and collect you, my fuckin' self
Why must it be a secret if all you're doin' is well

It said well, as if it couldn't say good, then it yelled
Think you so fuckin' smart, but you don't listen too well
No one believes you, Jo beats, thinks you're full of shit
I can tell, go back to hell, you can't fuckin' control me

Alright kid just remember what I tell
The closer you think you're gettin' to where you wanna be
All the fame and money only brings you closer to me
