Can you feel me ? I keep it real in these streets 

Until they kill me, 'cause you can go anyday. 

I don't know, life's cold, looking over my shoulder

Everywhere I go, I'm God's soldier

You gotta feel me ! I keep it real in these streets

Until they kill me, 'cause you can go anyday

I don't know, life's cold, looking over my shoulder 

Everywhere I go, I'm God's soldier



My life means too much, I just can't let it slip away 

I ain't ready to go, so look it's no time to play

Don't nobody know when you leavin, it comes unexpected 

I wish somebody would tell me, when it's right next to me 

You know it's gonna happen dawg, you can't stop it 

God said it will, shit you can't knock it 

I wonder how it feels when you know you leavin here 

I ain't scared of shit, but death is my biggest fear 

Sometimes I question God, and ask him why I gotta go 

But if it's up to me dawg, I'd never go 

And to my folks gone, I meet you at the crossroads

Until then I'm gettin paper till I'm grey and old 

Man you gotta understand that this shit is real 

You was put here to die, so how you really feel ? 

Heaven or hell, think about it where you goin 

Death is like winter time, man it's all goin



If I'd leave right now, how the hell would my momma feel

Would she go in shock, die to? ,this shit is real

I wonder how you feel when you know it's right by 

And if you do, does your soul go sky high ? 

Does your soul see your body layin on the ground 

And if it does, how would you feel if you're happy now?

See in the split second dawg, you can fall out

Heaven or hell was near, so nigga ball out

Life is too short to be trippin over bullshit

People tell you that, but y'all you gotta feel this 

Sit back and reminisce and think how your folks died 

This shit is a everyday thing, it happens worldwide

If you was put here to die, what was you here for?

And all I'm sayin is the discover what you here for

And that's some real shit dawg, for me and you 

And I'm just speakin of some shit, that's really true.



Picture life as a game of chess

'cause every move is critical in this life of stress 

I came from a long road to a hard time 

My momma full of stress, I can see it in her eyes 

And even though my popps never ever did a thing

I still kept my head up and my nuts let 'em hang, cause I'm a grown man 

I kept it real in the streets 24/7, 365 blood sweat and tears and still steppin 

A soldier deep in the gangs feelin this pain 

For many years stackin some change, hopin for fame

Been plenty nights, askin God why my uncle Jack 

I know I can't, but if I could I'd bring you back 

My cousin killed hisself, God what you thinkin of ? 

Got two kids and a wife and just turned out the door 

I prayed to Christ every night asked him ease the pain 

And help me keep my head straight before I go insane
