Im going for broke, gambling and playing for keeps Everyday in the streets, scrambling and paying for cheep Praying for sleep, dreaming with a watering mouth Wishing for a better life for my daughter and spouse In this slaughtering house, caught up in bouts with the root of all evil Ive seen it turn beautiful people crude and deceitful And make them do shit illegal for these Grants and Jacksons These transactions explain a mans actions But in the mist of this insanity, I found my Christianity Through God and theres a wish he granted me He showed me how to cope with the stress And hope for the best, instead of mope and depressed Always groping a mess, of flying over the nest To selling dope with the rest, I quit smoking cess to open my chest Life is stressful inside this cesspool Tryna wrestle, I almost bust a blood vessel My little brothers tryna learn his mathematics Hes asthmatic, running home from school away from crack addicts Kids attract static, children with automatics Taking target practice on teens for Starter Jackets Im using smarter tactics to overcome this slum I wont become as dumb as some and succumb to scum Its cumbersome, Im tryna do well on this Earth But its been Hell on this Earth since I fell on this Earth
