The winds of change is coming

Do you run toward the breeze or is you running away from something

Do you find that it's hard to breathe?

Like you just inhaled a big cloud of that purple leaf

The vision that I have for me

Is sometimes a little too hard to see

The man that I plan to be

Is tied to my dream so who am I if you take that away from me?

You tell me what I'd become

Another failure, another drug dealer a victim of the slums

I aint had a lot of opportunities

And the opportunities I had are now things of the past

The pain is cured by the grass

That's how I coped until I upgraded to dope

Now I'm up all night with a pocket full of all white

Trying to get my money right my stomach's kind of tight

My hands is sweating reputation is respected

Just another lost ghetto soul neglected

My hustle is perfected

But as you know the life of crime can sometimes be hectic

The path where I'm headed left me on my own

Slave to my habits didn't even notice that my friends was gone

Never had a family some say it was wrong

But the streets greeted me with open arms so I made the streets my home

Without the school I had time to roam

Heart no longer innocent; the hate I have in it is full grown

The money in my hand telling me to be strong

But I'm paranoid looking over my shoulders I won't last too long

Money started getting gone once I started poking my arm

My life's in more harm; my thoughts are more dangerous

Loading up guns smoking on cannabis and angel dust

What a rush.....take another puff

Drugs calling out to me

Meanwhile outside in my home my brothers have eyes that say that they have it out for me

They see I'm starting to use more than I sell

And that's when my home became a hell

I thought I would prevail or die by the hands of a needle

But I feel I'm a die by another evil

I heard about the plot my brothers want me off of my block

They want to take me out with a couple of shots

I know this feeling I felt the same pain before

When I found out I aint had a mother and a father no more

Found myself in my past ran to the only friend I had

Brown dust in a clear bag

The smell of it cooking in the air was so sweet

Didn't know that would be the last thing I would see

I tied my arm up......filled my arm up

......Felt my body slump........felt the pain go

......Felt the rain go.......I saw a rainbow

I saw my soul leave.......

..........Rest in peace lil' ol' me
