My mama showed me light, my daddy showed me struggle
Both loved me through the pain, even if they didn't love each other
My brother is a father, my sister is a mother
My path perceives the post and the past pain of a soldier
*
A preacher of peace but a soldier on the street
Talent to teach the world until the day me and my uncle meet
To love is to live, but life is just a lesson to learn
No heaven for criminals, but hell is just a place to burn
*
Endlessly searched my soul for something to save
Along my journey I buried brothers and dug my own grave
Pistol to my head, needle in my arm, all lights turned dark
An angel in my bed, free from harm, just listen to your heart
*
With an empty fridge came an empty stomach
War brought freedom and benefits but both are non existent
Entitled to pay taxes but not entitled to food stamps
Stood up next to Uncle Sam but now I take a different stance
*
Time for change when a mirror makes me disgusted
Razor in range, death before dishonor, bleed out before I'm busted
All I feel is pain, forgotten future formed a bad habit
Paint a painful truth, yesterdays pain creates today's drug addict
*
Brother's busy with custody and court, just trying to live average
I lost my sister to my lifestyle, she won't accept a savage
My mama fights the white, my daddy fights the bottle
I melt my future in a pipe grab my whiskey then swallow
No more struggles, No more tomorrow
