I heard you quit rappin', tell me what happened
Last I heard, you were on tour traveling the map and
Now your back in the lab, laying tracks in Manhattan
Some say you probably fell off, washed up, your a has-been
I started laughing, Please just imagine me slackin'
Yeah I was on a hiatus, laying up in the cabin
Reclining, vibing, relaxing, analyzing "The Passion"
Saw my life flashin and draggin, I noticed time passin
Felt backed in, my spirit and my flesh kept clashin
They say the crowd that your with's energy your attractin
That explains your mindframe adn behavioral patterns
See it was all about clubs, drugs, thuggin adn gun packin
Liquor sippin, dro smokin, pimpin and mackin
The enemies attackin, I'm jabbin', fallin back staggering
L:ike a blow to the abdomen, I'm gaspin' nearly collapsing
I heard a voice askin', "Will you stand up and fight or keep crackin and die ashes to ashes
Dust to dust" enough's enough, I'm going out blastin like an assasin
Runnin, gunnin, huntin through the dungeons and dragons
No more lollygaggin, hatin and bashin the man for not having compassion
When God gave me a talent
I got orders from teh Captain, I'm tryin to get my ration, not a fraction
Fro the ice and the cream, me and my team quit Baskin and started Robbin and jackin
Hard to imagine, starvin for action
Is it real? I beg your pardon for askin
Gun, mask and fast car like Tracey Chapman
Load the gatlings in the Volkswagen, sorry Ms. Jackson
Survival of the fit, wildlife, shootings and stabbings
The love of money's a fatal attraction
I'm all grown up, adn still give my mother contractions
I aint braggin, it saddens my heart the plight of us black men
Many phases and stages and cages had me trapped in
But only God can save me I finally read the caption
Started reciting verses in church, reading and fasting
And because I believed, I received life everlasting........
