Life was about… Making my moms proud - making my daddy happy A guru above the clouds – fallen angels staring at me Death is a marathon – one day its gonna passed me As I pass on my baton – to another athlete Blessed with fast feet - another track meet Heaven knows – the flow is god given – check my rap sheet Mercy is worthy as Hershey but never that sweet Kids was getting jump – chains were taken in the backstreet - sheesh I was rocking with the wrong crowd Skip day – everyone went to Rog' house Smoking reefer – eating pizza Playing video games – and freaking divas College wasn’t cutting it – didn’t give a fuck of it I was broken hearted – never would fell in love wit it Kept my sorrows in a gold bottle Today’s a bad influence, tomorrow is it role model no surprise when they see me - vocalize live in 3D new blood rising, take it in blood, blood sweat and cheers - led up to P3 made from angels dust, god knows i did dirt stared death in its eyes and devil blinked first i know pain is cheap but damn it can hurt i was born with this gift - still i live with this curse my mama passed away and my daughter just born see how life can recycle - and see how life can go on this my life behind bars in the coldest cell hov of the holy grail, primetime of punchlines - holyfield the end of a trilogy - this the end of a trilla G a threesome of a iLLer me, The Prestige, the holy trinity

Have you ever lost a loved one? Or never understood love 'til you lost one? Where your heart at? I left mines behind with my dearly departed Just to make a fashion statement - shorty wearing my garments took a shot at love - fear being the target Need light above - cause she scared of the darkness Tears from a angel, watching her heart cry Not your common love story, tales from the dark side Damn - I've been making it worst Nights that you cried - days that it hurt We was well rounded - shaping the earth Love is 6ft deep that'll take to the dirt Going through hell - that's Satan at work But it's you that had save me as a baby at birth It's hard to find love in the darkness Forever shine light where your heart is Hook: BLAQ When hearts cast shadows, that's the dark side of love When I'm not sure cuz you're not sure, that's the dark side of love I'd say keep it if I never tasted your kiss Where is the light I'd say keep it if I never tasted your kiss Where is the light Verse 1: BLAQ You'd better find it Whatever you left with her Tell her it's repo She probably don't know that it's still there Or, that she has your mind still filled, dear The worst timing Just when times are hard Stress can cloud the mind Plus the stains of your what ifs You need to remember what love is HOOK Wrote 1,000 reasons why I loved you - you gave me 3 words to start with Even when you drove me crazy - you never made me feel car sick For 3 years we was passionate How quickly we fell in love - and wasn't tripping off a accident i'll break up the weed - you would roll up the blunts i would die for you twice - just to live for you once from the kiss that we share - love to taste your words Wanna massage that ass - let me shape those curves once high strung - let me break those nerves i know i got you speechless - i gotta way with words like a thief in the night - keeping you tight tell me what's left - if i'm treating you right i'll be your lifetime supporter - go half on a daughter miss auoroa - i'll do anything for ya' HOOK

Dived in her tears - sinking in emotions Just to be specific, it’s Pacific as the ocean Maybe not as vivid, but swimming thru commotion Depending how you living. you was giving by the notion Drinking, skinny dipping, got u sipping on this potion Hoping, had you thinking, in a minute you'll be floating You barely off coast and the coast is clear You fear the most as the holy ghost is near Champagne for the pain and toast to cheer A glass full of cries that couldn’t hold the tears Like you suppose to care, but not really Out there chasing waves - misbehave - how silly ...you better get your act your together ...before you feelings reenact the weather You brainstorming, and crying rain A thunderous heartbeat but you deny the pain She’s saying… Live your life or you can get man handle They say life’s a beach, she’ll piss on your sand castle …before I see my final days …watch it splash from a tidal wave Everything I've worked for – taken by the seashore I’ll sleep when I’m dead – no need to dream more Before, I set my footprints on the sand Follow destruction of a man Corruption, how waves keep fucking up his plans A soul surfer could only understand Life in Atlantis, Right by the Atlantic Lost in Bermuda as my future looks so frantic …Found a message in the bottle - telling me... Even castles made of sand, fallen to the sea Eventually, I’ll rest in peace My ashes to the oceans – for you to set me free

It was an eye for an eye – love at first sight Lived for your beauty – died the first night Drooled for attention – but not the thirst type A soldier of love – I had to earn stripes I kept her on her toes - She kept me in her heart I was common to her light – she kept me in the dark Our deepest pleasures was a treasure from the start To be together forever – you couldn’t measure us apart The first 6 months was good Simply, love’s probation – I would knock on wood But finding forever was only finding the never Hoping we can find it together We picked on each other’s habits – shyt was just drastic Some I tolerate – others I couldn’t stand it And vice versa – times I made her life worst huh Killing like Mike murder - Thinking how can I hurt ya’ Hardest thing was seeing you cry Times I rather swallow my spit than eating my pride So heartless of me, I've kept ether inside With no effort, I didn’t stress it - neither I tried Took me back for a second Then my world crashed – when you told me, that you was pregnant HOOK Stampede the globe – I’m about to be a Father now Gotta do better - Can’t break my promise now Tears of joy – you're boy feeling honored now Just the thought of my first child – a nigga gotta wild He’s gonna have his style or she gonna have her smile I'm mad hyped - on just finding out I’m rubbing on Shorty’s belly She looks at me saying she wanna tell me Asking me if I’m really ready Fear of the relationship and will the baby be healthy But we’ve been fighting on and off Her sister didn’t really like me – her parents not at all Plus we wasn’t fit financially – Look at us, to be raising a family Sadly, I wasn’t the man to be - Only plan we had was plan B The hurt in my heart was nasty - Hers, even worst – the cut was mad deep Feeling helpless and its making me crazy Knowing it’s all my fault – I let down two of my babies Taking it for whatever it’s worth I’ll die with the hurt when I should be witnessing your birth
