Be All You Can Be

Yo it's ya boy Silkk

I got Fiend and Mac in here

Know what I'm sayin'?

I said all our soldiers in the streets

Life ain't always guaranteed

Some of this aimed for you and me

But it's a ghetto war

So be all you can be

That's why your big brother Fiend gon holler

And I really meant, I don't wanna be here if I don't gotta

Not tryin to discourage, a lotta

But look in my eyes

Even though we camouflaged I can't disguise the pain we got inside

That's why I ride all night

Smokin till I can't smoke no more

Wanna forget some of the shit we saw

With that old dirty four oh

Wanna give money to the poor folk

But got one eighty and one quarter

Splitin that three ways

That's between my momma, sister and her daughter

I said all our soldiers in the streets

Life ain't always guaranteed

Some of this aimed for you and me

But it's a ghetto war

So be all you can be

I said all our soldiers in the streets

Life ain't always guaranteed

Some of this aimed for you and me

But it's a ghetto war

So be all you can be

This life shit is way so serious

Don't wanna question you Lord, but I'm so curious

I sleep amongst killers I don't know who to trust

I meet beucoup bitches and now it's cool to fuck

I made it from nothin to havin little change

Now niggas in my hood they look at me strange

I live for the moment cuz I'm afraid of my future

Don't let me die, oh Lord why

I look myself in my eyes and I see why thugs cry

Shell shocked, I get that from my pops

And he told me keep it cocked, so I keep it cocked

Life is but a dream and we all seein

And if seein is believin, don't wake me up this evening

Woah!

I said all our soldiers in the streets

Life ain't always guaranteed

Some of this aimed for you and me

But it's a ghetto war

So be all you can be

I said all our soldiers in the streets

Life ain't always guaranteed

Some of this aimed for you and me

But it's a ghetto war

So be all you can be

All I know, is I don't wanna go

But I don't wanna be here either

If I gotta be here killin and sellin dope

The world is a ghetto

And I be wonderin if y'all could be feelin my pain

Tryin to put it down the best way I know how

When I'm gone y'all can remember my name

If I die tomorrow, don't be sorry

Let it be known I told the truth

And never know what's gon happen when I'm done rappin

Doin my song, in this booth

And if I die, tell P he keeps my legacy alive

My chance was slim

And if it had to happen, let it be known

I'm glad it happened to me, instead of them

Now desperate times call for desperate measures

Ain't no pleasure in killin

Ain't no pleasure either in going without feedin for weeks

Have you ever had that feeling?

No guarantees, Lord please, can't bring back the past

Can't buy time either, so I guess what's the use of havin cash?

And look now, penitentiary's packed

With niggas who had dreams to be rich

Man spend a little bit, have a little something

Dead men can't spend shit

I'll trade some of this money for this pain

Trade some of this money for this fame

P nigga you think it's easy dog

But it ain't cuz I been with you throughout this game

I thought we could flip keys together

I thought we could make g's together

Now I know what's going on

I gotta make these dollars all night long

I thought you saw the bigger picture

How could you betray your closest nigga?

How can I ever trust you again?

Tell me, man

Yo Fiend, yo Mac

It's real

Gotta be able to do it

So many niggas wanna see you fall, dog

We gon ball y'all, for real
