Look at the pain in your eyes
Look at tears
Look at the darkness 
Look at the fear in disguise
Make your decision and tunnel your vision and follow the fate you devise 
Words only weaken with lies
Lemme offer the pill of demise
Appeal to the mentally wise

I remember all my family grieving a minute before it was chicken and rice
Crossed hands and I'm already kneeling I'm praying to God it was devilish lies
Last week we was ballin on niggas displaying our egos with ebony pride
I can never be at peace or regret cause I know that you reppin on heavenly side

I could not follow a piece of the formula
All of my mentors were taught by the coroner
Darker the skin and the weaker the foreigner
I cannot sit at the feet of a follower
Sobering heat with the chill of a corridor
S-TE-V-E met the swish of a horrible UH!
Separated from the bottom up need my revenge and I'm keen for the follow up DAMN

You know family is always GANG GANG
Come too close and imma let it BANG BANG
I know people that can share the same pain
All these feelings I could never maintaaaaaaaain 
I could never maintain!

Where you going cuz
This ain't the time or the place or the method
I'll leave you at peace with a piece of a metal 
Unless you insist on a beef in the ghetto
Now lemme release with a singular weapon
I'm making a fist and I'll feed you the pebbles
Don't try to resist or I'll deem you a rebel and we can be through with this shit in a second! 

Don't be sad about me
Swallow your grief and just know I'm your guardian angel
I'll keep you away from the evil intentions
Now follow your dreams like you chasing a medal
And don't forget about me
Life is a dream and I know that you stuck on a level
You gave me a boost with my foot on the pedal
So let me reduce all the soot on the kettle

I could not follow a piece of the formula
All of my mentors were taught by the coroner
Darker the skin and the weaker the foreigner
I cannot sit at the feet of a follower
Sobering heat with the chill of a corridor
S-TE-V-E met the swish of a horrible UH!
Separated from the bottom up need my revenge and I'm keen for the follow up DAMN

I knew family is always GANG GANG
Come too close and imma let it BANG BANG
I know people that can share the same pain
All these feelings I could never maintaaaaaaaain 
I could never maintain!
