Hey Shetoro

Umm...Play me dat lil Latin Beat

I wanna read out diz letter I wrote to my fans

In case I get killed or something

I mean [laughs] I hope dat never happens

But...damn there's so many haterz

U never know

Alright...



As I read diz letter and as u listen

I know right now I'm either dead or in prison

I'm writing these words as my daughter sleeps

Ill pray diz iz something I will never have to read

Da year is 2000 and I've signed with Universal

All da hate cant stop me, but it still hurts though

Da smoke in my blunt can only hide my pain

My security iz outside but I still sleep in da rain

Dey say dat my lyrics destroy and kill

But I'm only tryin to tell dem dat I know how dey feel

I never had both of my parents

I was three when he left and ended da marriage

Most things I rap about I no longer do

Tomorrow's church and after dat itz da zoo

Diamonds and cars don't make a man happy

Ur jewels in life are ur friends and family

Da more money I make, da more problems appear

I feel my enemies closing in...getting near

Inspired by jealousy, dey wish me da worst

I've shook da hands of men dat want me stiff in a herse

But everything I do iz so dat one day

Our kids can see their own kind in a positive way

Although I'm no angel

In God I do trust

I'd like to take a second to tell u about us

Rasheed's from Philadelphia

Low G's from Honduras

I was raised with my abuela 

In a place called alphurias

But we're all da same race

And dat race is player

I've held two jobs: ditch digger and brick layer

Now I see a sign as I lay in da chalk

Heaven's 7 million miles...

Lord don't make me walk
