Cormega - The True Meaning lyrics

Out there (out there, out there)
In the street you know
(in the street you know)
I'm strugglin' (strugglin')
Trying to survive

People feeling my pain, a mental bond shared
Been through so many struggles
Only to persevere remember when we hustled
Knowing the 1st was near
That's when that money doubled
Then we purchased gear
Now was it worth my trouble
It was my first career the only life I knew
There's no regrets or fears
Yo son I reminisce this ghetto
Life and shed a tear
For my niggas who walkin' up heaven stairs
I met men in penitentiaries
Who been down so long they
Barely missed the street
If you real hold your own son, lay your law
My inner visions are revealed so
I say no more my man said it ain't a game
So I play no more
Whether you rap or bust gats, lay your law
Fuck that, If you touch crack save up
Your story
Can be reduced to jail suit's and war stories
It's deep the way my pens
Speaks words my mouth envies
I'm hoping holy water could cleanse me
D's wanted to apprehend me
If I affected your life in any way trife
When I was doing crime forgive me

Exquisitely I write
Tales of hand to hand sales
Which cause three to life
When all else fails some
People seek Jesus Christ
Some relax to the seductive
Mystique of the pipe
And be back inside the same cell they left
It's sort of like hell or death
Except we still here breathin' in
The flesh receiving respect
Yet, being stressed cause we
Threats to society
Solutions are rare, problems are in varieties
I try to be, thinking of ways to get paid
My realness engraved from the
Cradle to the grave mega, thug forever
My departure from drugs could never
Sever what I learned, or respect I earned
Yo my status alone surpasses your own
Known for blastin' my chrome
And having my own niggas fraudulent
I wish there was a law against
The sort of shit these rappers talk
And never even thought exist
When I was young I used to
Hustle for Jordan kicks
As I matured I did it for a brick
Be cautious, the price is up and down
Like the New York Knicks
I got OG respect and a new four fifth, cause
