On & On

He grew up on the block Live with the pushas' and the pimps And the playa's and the misses And the cops We grew up in a box Stuck inside a prison Way we living Ain't alive Till we dead in a box He used to sell I used to hang I never slanged Them glassy rocks I was busy tryna get myself In college with my knowledge And the skills of my feet Elevating to the top Don't mean that we wasn't cold Ya we used to roll The biggest blunts You done ever seen Late nights we were on our own Till the early morn' Cooking rhymes to a crowd unseen But then was a different time I had a different mind And a different two sets of eyes I was set on different places And to my surprise Everything I ever dreamed Was everything it didn't seem Ya So we go on and on You can go out as a lie Until you're dead and gone Or you can face truth And fight your storm Find God to each its own Ya So we go on and on You can go on and on You can go out as a lie Until you dead and gone Or you can face truth And fight your storm Find God To each its own Ya we go on and on Life goes on and on and on How we choose fate is in our palms Just know I never did you wrong Ya we go on and on and on Life goes on and on and on How we choose fate is in our palms No I never did you wrong I remember when I said I'd be in college Playing soccer Fulfilling all of my dreams And you have been my brother For as long as my remember But now what I remember Is the way you use to fiend For me to fail You started praying that I won't prevail Sneak dissing with some women And tried to get me killed Man Tried to get you off the block But the block Was the only thing that was real Still Friend turned to shame You an enemy of any success I have gained Kill All light in the cave Is how they raise them up on the block Full of slaves Chills Cause this later that I'm writing to you Is a letter that I'm writing to your grave Now you're gone You chose the block Over better thangs Fly high to each it's own
