I said there's no such thing as the straight path
|
My brother got hit the other day by straight blasts
|
In the brain, on the train, on his way to work
|
A guy that spent most of his life dealin' with dirt
|
|
But as soon as he decides to get a 9 to 5
|
Why would God decide to take his life?
|
There's no such thing as the straight path
|
|
So it's whatever with me, I walk through the mind
|
Feel whatever could hit me
|
My mind filled with anger hope the angels is with me
|
Change could be dangerous
|
|
Goin' legit could be signing your death certificate
|
Calling it quits could be the worst thing you do
|
I mean consider your enemy
|
He ain't gonna quit 'coz you quit now, is he?
|
Think about it
|
|
So what's on infinitely with me
|
I'm gonna turn to finity for the tough times I pour Hennessey
|
In memory of that one thing that meant one thing to me
|
I'm on, somethin' in me wishin' I wan't born
|
|
Come on, a gangsta say quttin' the game
|
Man, you lookin' at a dead man talkin'
|
He's always a brother or cousin to somebody you fought
|
Who might forgive but that don't happen too often
|
|

|
When the gun burn everythin'
|
You been taught you must unlearn
|
With one turn of the world, one fatal stroke I'd have lost all hope now I'm goin' for broke
|
|
So my new motto is smoke clear, kiss smoke
|
When you lose everything you love it's time to grip the snob
|
The time for talking is done, listen for one
|
If you got that weight on you I'll be liftin' you up
|
Hope you got that aid on you, I ain't givin' a fuck
|
|
If God love me, why I'm missin' my bro?
|
Is God ugly? If ya'll love me, nigga, wish me love
|
Appetite for destruction, I'm back popping [Incomprehensible] again
|
Drinkin' 'nac heavy until I'm happy again
|
|
Although I get comfort from friends
|
I won't be truly happy till I see him I again
|
So until that day I'm goin' out in the blaze
|
Hope the world forgive me 'coz I lost my way
|

|
Disappointedly, the craziest things happen
|
I mean, never knew I'd lose so many people, you know
|
Such a short time, you know what I'm sayin'?
|
I'm only twenty five, know what I mean?
|
|
Lord, it was not even like I was fifteen know what I'm sayin'?
|
Lost all hopes by fourteen, know what I mean?
|
[?]
|
Lot of stress, man, right now
|
|
So much [?], yo, it's time, hold your head up [?]
|
And to my man Lou who just passed, know what I mean?
|
All this nonsense goin' on in the street
|
It's just that life we lead know what I'm sayin'
|
|
We caught up in it man, but just when you do dirt
|
Just know you can never clean it up man
|
There's no such thing as a straight path
|
|
I said there's no such thing as a straight path
|
Unless you come out the womb on a straight path
|
And if you live, way I live, dog, how long can that last?
|
When everyday of our life we live more like a task
|
|
I said there's no such thing as a straight path
|
I said there's no such thing as a straight path
