Jesus that last verse!
bumped this album while playing basketball in this sunny weather 
Jesus that last verse!
Sometimes I sit on the bench just to watch the game
Feet on cement, there ain't a mobster living I could name
Who made it out rich, in his absence I do not proclaim
To not have a heart like wild animals not tamed
Maybe just a typical thug nikka was my rank
'Cept I had a vision above nikkas, what I think
It's crazy how many brothers come where I come from
Some made it out big, some dead, some unsung
It's gonna be worth the wait
You know he's gonna do something special with the 20 year anniversary of the Bible coming up
just imagine

I wish I was there. Gutted I couldn't make it, nas and tribe.
