Words 2 My Firstborn - Album Version (Edited)

Can you picture, young niggaz in a rush to grow
 Til hard timers in the pen, had to crush his throat
 Probably never even saw it comin - too busy bullshittin'
 Caught him with his mouth runnin; ain't this a bitch
 They got me twisted in this game
 The feds and the punk, po-lice pointin pistols at my brain
 I wonder if I'm wrong cause I'm thugged out
 My homies murdered execution style runnin in the drug house
 What was supposed to be a easy hit - now shit is flipped
 Cause niggaz died over bullshit - it's not my dream
 I'm seein pictures of a broken man, no witnesses
 Only the questions of who smoked the man, young adolescents
 In our prime live a life of crime, though it ain't logical
 We hobble through these tryin times, livin blind
 Lord help me with my troubled soul
 Why all my homies had to die 'fore they got to grow?
 And right before I put my head on the pillow, say a prayer one love
 To the thugs in heaven I'll see you there
 It's written for the young and dumb that wasn't warned
 Help you make it through the storm
 My words to my first born, feel me
 Cause you know what you had to do
 And so did victims of a world they never came to
 I understand it's a better day comin
 Sometimes cats be sleepin on the dead end
 Drivin with the car runnin blinded
 I put my head on the pillow, say a prayer one love
 To the thugs in heaven I'll see you there
 It's written for the young and dumb that wasn't warned
 Help you make it through the storm
 My words to my first born
 Since my very first day on this earth, I was cursed
 So I knew, that the birth of a child would make my life worse
 And though it hurt me there was no distortion
 Cause wild seeds can't grow, we need more abortions
 Quiet your soul, cause you know what you had to do
 And so did victims of a world they never came to
 I understand it's a better day comin
 Sometimes cats be sleepin on the dead end
 Drivin with the car runnin blinded
 Ain't no love in the hood only hearts torn
 Love letters to the innocent and unborn
 All the babies that died up on the table
 Wasn't able to breathe, cause the family wasn't able
 Can't - blame her I would do the same
 All I could give it was my debt and my last name
 Cause in the game things change livin up and down
 This hard life got me walkin with my head down
 Flashin frowns wasn't meant to be, was I wrong?
 But I'll never get to know, so I carry on
 It's written for the young and dumb that wasn't born
 My words to my first born, feel me
 Cause you know what you had to do
 And so did victims of a world they never came to
 I understand it's a better day comin
 Sometimes cats be sleepin on the dead end
 Drivin with the car runnin blinded
 I put my head on the pillow, say a prayer one love
 To the thugs in heaven I'll see you there
 It's written for the young and dumb that wasn't warned
 Help you make it through the storm
 My words to my first born
