Proud

When the moment comes,
 And you gotta own it,
 Waylon & Willie, Struggle
 I'm Paul the Apostle, This is my Romans
 I notice the road is condolence to my opponents
 Foam at the mouth
 I start for the moment
 Combing through the engine
 Seeing all the broken components
 Never say die, My slogan
 Hoping it's not over
 Atonement for my wrongs
 Streets is cold
 Time is frozen
 Poet of the broken
 Chosen by an omen
 Fathered from poverty but a shark in this ocean
 They was drinking the Kool-aid
 I concocted a potion
 Emotions from a motion
 Discovered there's no devotion
 Home in the morning
 Hunger pains, no bitchin moanin
 I been waitin for this moment
 Now i'm gonna own it
 I just hope I made my mama proud
 I hope that my God is smilin when he's lookin down
 And I remember when there was noone around
 Noone was to be found
 And I was on the ground
 We all know when you ballin
 That everybody's by your side
 But when you falling
 So many people run and hide
 Are you really down to ride
 When you know someone will die
 Are you still a friend of mine
 When our life is on the line
 On the line.
 (When a life is on the line)
 Know the streets gonna slow you down
 People in the streets are the goal but why
 You don't really understand me
 If you ain't from a spot where noone smile
 Man it's so hard for me to take it
 Feel it in my bones and i can't shake it
 You might not understand my raising
 If you ain't from a place where nobody makes it
 And i swear i feel your pain
 I know where you coming from
 I went to war with the same demons you runninn from
 I know when the money comes
 That's when the problems grow
 Even if its a one and done
 I hope you reap what you sow
 Met a beatle on the moon
 He told me about my future
 He said some stars are falling
 And some stars are shooters
 Pay attention to the universe
 And you'll see it's so translucent
 With faith the size of a mustard seed
 Find a mountain and you can move it
 I can do it
 I just hope i made my mama proud
 I hope that my God is smilin when he's lookin down
 And I remember when there was noone around
 Noone was to be found
 And i was on the ground
 We all know when you ballin
 And Everybody's by your side
 But when you fallin
 So many people run and hide
 Are you really down to ride
 When you know someone will die
 Are you still a friend of mine
 When our life is on line
 On the line.
 (When a life is on the line)
 I'm James the apostle
 First to be martyred
 My freedom was bartered
 Taken not borrowed
 The pain and the sorrow
 So i pray for tomorrow
 I live for the moment
 Never fear what will follow
 A leader, I'm in it
 I fought in the field
 Brought em out the valley
 So we stood on the hill
 I stood on my heels
 Enemies on the ground
 Screamin at the clouds
 I hope that you're proud
 I just hope i made my mama proud
 I hope that my God is smilin when he's lookin down
 And I remember when there was noone around
 Noone was to be found
 And i was on the ground
 We all know when you ballin
 And Everybody's by your side
 But when you fallin
 So many people run and hide
 Are you really down to ride
 When you know someone will die
 Are you still a friend of mine
 When our life is on line(on the line.)
