[00:00:22] Geah

[00:00:23] See I was born in sewage born to make bomb music

[00:00:27] Flow tight like I was born Jewish

[00:00:33] 38 longs inside my mom's Buick

[00:00:35] At any given moment Shawn could lose it be on the news

[00:00:38] Iron cuffs arms through it or stuffed with embalmin' fluid

[00:00:41] Shit I'm going through it mom dukes too

[00:00:43] Tears streaming down her pretty face she got her palms to it

[00:00:47] My life is getting too wild

[00:00:48] I need to bring some sort kinda calm to it

[00:00:50] 'Bout to lose it voices screaming

[00:00:51] Don't do it

[00:00:53] It's like '93 '94 'bout the year

[00:00:55] That Big and Mag dropped and Illmatic rocked

[00:00:57] Outta every rag drop and the West had it locked

[00:01:00] Everybody doing 'em I'm still scratchin' on the block

[00:01:03] Like damn I'ma be a failure

[00:01:05] Surrounded by thugs drugs and drug paraphenalia

[00:01:09] Cops courts and their thoughts is to derail us

[00:01:12] Three time felons in shorts with jealous thoughts

[00:01:15] Trying figure where your mail is guesstimate the weight you selling

[00:01:18] So they can send shots straight to your melon wait

[00:01:21] It gets worse baby momma water burst

[00:01:23] Baby came out stillborn still I gotta move on

[00:01:26] Though my heart still torn life gone from her womb

[00:01:29] Don't worry if it was meant to be it'll be soon

[00:01:33] This can't be life this can't be love

[00:01:38] This can't be right there's gotta be more this can't be us

[00:01:44] This can't be life this can't be love

[00:02:00] Pop wasn't around so many stories that's another

[00:02:03] I'm thinking damn how my older sister gon' make me tougher

[00:02:06] When steel sharpens steel I'ma keep it real

[00:02:09] I'm tired of trying to hide my pain behind the syrups and pills

[00:02:12] Dead to the world stretched out like a corpse for real

[00:02:15] Y'all niggaz thinking what y'all reading in The Source is real

[00:02:18] What my life like you looking at the source it's real

[00:02:23] Passing judgment you niggaz second guessing Beans

[00:02:26] Cause you don't eat swine don't make you Amin

[00:02:28] Dog you know a couple suras out the Qur'an

[00:02:31] I guess you all on your din and I ain't on mine

[00:02:34] Stop that Akki 'fore I send shots though your body

[00:02:37] Make 'em feel hell on earth before Allah drop thee

[00:02:39] I feel the line's drawn here nutting more can stop me

[00:02:42] Till them feds pick me up or them boys pop me

[00:02:45] There's only three things that make Mac not act like Beans

[00:02:51] My seeds dog gotta teach 'em that before I leave dog

[00:02:54] Shit I know that I'ma see 'em when I leave dog

[00:02:57] I come back in the afterlife

[00:02:59] Like f**k it I done touched hell twice what's the meaning

[00:03:14] This can't be life this can't be love

[00:03:20] This can't be right there's gotta be more this can't be us

[00:03:25] Now as I walk into the studio to do this with Jig'

[00:03:28] I got a phone call from one of my nigs

[00:03:30] Said my homeboy Reek he just lost one of his kids

[00:03:33] And when I heard that I just broke into tears

[00:03:36] And see in the second hand you don't really know how this is

[00:03:39] But when it hits that close to home you feel the pain at the crib

[00:03:42] So I called mine and saddened my wife with the bad news

[00:03:45] Now we both depressed counting our blessings cause Brad's two

[00:03:48] Praying for young souls to laugh atlife through the stars

[00:03:50] Loving your kids just like you was ours

[00:03:53] And I'm hurting for you dog but ain't nobody pain is like yours

[00:03:56] I just know that heaven'll open these doors

[00:03:58] And ain't no bright side to losing life but you can view it like this

[00:04:02] God's got open hands homey he in the midst of good company

[00:04:05] Who loves all and hates not one

[00:04:07] And one day you gon' be wit your son

[00:04:10] I could've rapped about my hard times on this song

[00:04:13] But heaven knows I woulda been wrong

[00:04:15] I wouldn'ta been right it wouldn'ta been love

[00:04:18] It wouldn'ta been life it wouldn'ta been us

[00:04:21] This can't be life

[00:04:23] This can't be life this can't be love

[00:04:28] This can't be right there's gotta be more this can't be us

[00:04:34] This can't be life this can't be love

[00:04:39] This can't be right there's gotta be more this can't be us

[00:04:45] This can't be life
