try

[PlatinumKittyKat]

I got demons we all do I cant lie
smoke, swear, scream, I get high.
Make money by all means, u know why?
Talib put it best cuz its just to get by.
I know the most high can see me and how I try.
...to do something good with my life,
...to make an impact in a positive light.
going from milk to meat spiritually... taught you gotta fight.
if you feel your work is right then by all means girl, shine your light.
Not breaking jaws, or breaking laws aint gotta run from the feds
Breakin bread, get my mind fed thats the stage that im in
Preteen when i left the church
and dropped outta school for a while
some how
i gotta make my own way now.
self taught ...i sought, to challange all my senses.
so nows the time for me to put my lessons to the test and
To be the best the cravings of the flesh get put to rest!
its a mess.. my life. got too many bad habits.
puttin poisen in my body
but im too stressed, i gotta have it.
too weak to cope, so i toke
its my escape from reality
Funny how this green, help me forget the green
n how we cant afford to eat.
But we makin too much money, huh? fuck a government relief!
feelin so low so i need a way to get high.
look up to the sky ask God "why?!?"
if my fam-i-ly good ppl
why we barely gettin by?!
while hes drivin by, moneybags in his jag, wifes manicured nails clutch
her prada bag. its not jealousy or envy
its my stomach feelin empty
so the moneys tempting.
want my son to be healthy, n we, aint tryin to be wealthy.
but hell we,
could use it more then them.
im not trying to defend my weakness or exucse it.
its useless to say, but we could really use it.
wont abuse it, never chose it over you,
but damn it would be nice to do the things we could never do.
