Close your eyes and turn off the lights
|
Listen to the words that this author writes
|
Seen so much, so many poor to life
|
Darker life, wrong's only God can right
|
|
Think back when I was loose, rolling around
|
Extra?, bout to gun something down
|
Aint care about a rap career cat
|
You violate I go twist ya bedcap
|
I'm kinda blessed that night in that club
|
Nobody died from that slug
|
I think about the way that I was
|
I tell ya I was on one, cuz
|
Bout to catch a few bodies, woulda probably caught the chair
|
First album ya'll woulda never got to hear
|
I can't believe that I'm here, I should've been buried with my pad
|
|

|
Close your eyes and turn off the lights
|
Suffering all my life

Listen to the words that this author writes
|
Close your eyes and turn off the lights
|
And listen to the words that this author writes
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
I guess everything happens for a rhyme and reason
|
Still don't excuse the lying and treason
|
You could face 100 years in the precinct
|
Keep your mouth closed, ain't no speaking
|
When you in the streets, this is how it goes
|
Police ask you say 'you don't know'
|
Make sure the witness all follow same code
|
Death before dishonor 'til they take away your soul
|
I need to know, how my co-d called witness to sacrifice me
|
Just so he can get away free, this does not comply with the streets
|
But he ain't from there, this is not a smear
|
This is what they fear, the whole truth, I swear
|

Close your eyes and turn off the lights

Listen to the words that this author writes
|
Close your eyes and turn off the lights
|
Man, only wrongs God can right
|
[Verse 3]
|
Look, one thing about me, I was never naive
|
I might've played dumb to get what I need
|
But I could see, who was he, nothing ain't surprise me about this creep
|
Ha, I from the land of the east, all up in the streets
|
Man mi nuh skin teeth, eyes wide shut shotta don't sleep
|
Look, I seen the plot. What he did to Mase, and he did to LOX
|
What he did to Wolf and he did to?
|
God bless the dead, Notorious PAC
|
Why would I think that I was different, so I just sat in the distance
|
Kept my mouth closed, looked and listened
|
Learned all the trades of the sharks and fishes
|
|
Turn off the lights
|
Suffering all my life
|
Wrongs only God can right
|
|
[Verse 4]
|
I got partners go to jail for bodying?
|
Get shot, know who shot him? I won't testify in court
|
This kid got millions, that's how he talks
|
Should've took that paper, made his soul walk
|
Talking about he ain't responsible for my actions
|
Man, if I was yapping the world, woulda knew what happened
|
Them kids was about to wrap him
|
Shyne, they should thank him. But nooooo, they hate him
|
I hope I ain't rambling, ya'll got questions I'm just answering
|

Man, wrongs only God can right

|
[Verse 5]
|
Alpo did it to Rich, Brutus did it to Caesar
|
Throughout history, the thing is repeated
|
In a world where Sammy the Bull is leaders
|
Frank Lucas' and Joseph Massino's
|
Nooooo, that ain't my world
|
All I got is my... and my word
|
Until the electric chair burns, I don't bend I don't turn
|
You ain't to blame for the witness you called
|
To say it was me, naaah that ain't your fault
|
The lawyers you paid, I mean that you bought
|
To sacrifice me in open court, ha
|
I moved on, I promise no more songs
|
Blood, I wish you well, haha, now watch me sell
|
