Although through the years I gave

the adrenaline rush

You learn to work the water without working,
of thirst you'll die yup

And niggas get tied up for product
E
And little brothers ring fin
gers get cut up
To show mothers they really got 'em
Bm
And this was the stress I
live with til I decided
E
To try this rap shit for a living
I pray I'm forgiven
Bm
For every bad decision I made
Every sister I played

Cause I'm still paranoid to this day
And it's nobody fault I made the
decisions I made
This is the life I chose or rather
the life that chose me
