Study this as you study your first born

My first song was pain personified in song

The longest sequence is looped for days long

Where bass kicks are fierce and snares are

Known to drop a lot quicker than a child's tears

And drown out the drama that I didn't want to share

The load I wouldn't wish upon my enemies to bear

The times I used to tell myself you didn't want to hear

Until the reason in my rhyme become clear

Now what I write makes the load a lot lighter

The story of my life epitomizes imperfection

As a musical where every scene seems to lack direction

And I stand center stage stunned by what's happening

Blinded by the lights, cameras, action

Although I never asked for this lead role

It seems that God decided it a long time ago

I was chosen for this

Given the gift to gain and maintain the crowd's cheers

I break bread over beats with like-minded peers

And share the story of my last trip into the atmosphere

On the ninth cloud, I sat Indian style

Arms outstretched and Hell in God's breath

I saw the stairway to heaven

And counted one-hundred and forty-four thousand steps

I wanted to climb but it wasn't my turn yet

So I returned to earth just before the sun set

And I could stare, waiting for this golden opportunity to share

Now I share this with you

I'll share this with you

With all of you

I'll share this with you

I'll share this with

Each and every

One of you

Now in my younger days that quickly passed

I fell asleep in history class

Not enchanted by past misery

I'd rather chase down the present with a glass of Hennessy

And tilted my flower-like childhood wilted when my innocence was secluded

Plus the water we gave to it stayed polluted like the veins of cocaine users

My blood stream's still a little murky from flash-backs of murder scenes

Medical emergencies that fell upon deaf ears

Over 8 million stories in a city that nobody wants to hear

But as bad as it appears, I am happy that I'm here

To share this with you

To share this with you

To share this with

All of you

To share this with you

Share this with you

Share this with

Each and every one of you

Heh, and share I will

I'll share the nights where fist fights left somebody's body lying still

The ice grills, the cold Ohio night's chill

I'll even share the blood spill

The memory of all my loved ones killed

The unpaid bills

The pain of a terminally ill

My ill will towards my rivals

My approach towards hip-hop survival

The circumstance that made some suicidal

The same circumstance that made others homicidal

The signs of the vital

The ways of the trial

The dope fiends that walk around my block in denial

The short life cycles

The minds that lie idle

My people that got out of court on a missed trial

My hunger to become more grounded in the Bible

Is smiled on behalf of my last day's arrival
