Silkk talking: i don't know if you listening but..
[silkk the shocker]
I got so many questions i don't know where to start
[ wellwhy don't you start from the pain that runs deep in your heart]
(is that you? god is that you? ....... it's me)
Is there a heaven or a hell, if so is that theory true?
[yes my son]
Why go through so much?
[it's a test my son]
So i guess it was you when ?? gave me the last second to run
[yes]
And i don't know why i shed so many tears
Forgive my god, i haven't been to church in months
[aww son you haven't been to church in years]
Some times i rob, steal and kill, just to eat
I popped him, i don't know if i killed him but somebody died in my building d
[he's here with me]
You think you can forgive me for my sins?
If so hold up, another homie died ?? you think you can forgive me again?
[i don't know]
Some times i feel like death is chasing me but just ain't catch me yet
I'm wondering if he is going to catch me when i stop to catch my breath
They say days are cut shorter from the things that you did
And if so then why take the kids?
[hold up, hold up my son]
Huh?
[it seems like some puzzle to you, if you got something to ask me, ask me]
Why is it racism? where did drugs come from?
Why is it so much death where i live? who idea was it to make guns?
[y'all]
And why my grandparents was slaves?
And why is is diseases with no cure like cancer and aids?
Why is it rich and poor?
Why is it a death row? [for real]
[that was y'all i ain't have nothing to do with it that was never my will]
And though i try and do everything, i just wanna know if it is worth it
[it was]
Sometime i feel like i'm doing it all, sometime i just don't feel like i
Serve my purpose
[keep your head up]
Nigga scared of the past
All my homies wanna know but scared to ask
[tell them to ask]
God everybody for they self sometime i don't feel like i'm all alone
[feel you]
Don't worry bout me if i have to go so watch my brother them when i'm gone
And what about when i couldn't pay my bills i was almost kicked out where i
Lived
[i just wanted to see if you'll break]
And everything happened at the same time
[i just wanted to see how much pain you can take]
And you must know my lifestyle
[i do]
Knowing i can't change my life
[i don't want you to, do what you gotta do anything not neccassary you'll pay
The price]
So why did my homie die instead of me?
[because i had bigger plans]
I don't understand
[i'll explain, see i wanted you to grow up and be a better man]
I wanna know, how you determine who dies and who stays living?
[the day i made the world my son, it was written]
Look i gotta couple mo' questions i need to know
[what?]
God, can you tell me, when is it my time to go?
(everything goes silent)
Silkk talking: where you at? i wasn't finish asking you.

A gangsta prays for another day
Even though he lives wrong
Trying to live this way
