All My Life
G.U.N.S Lyrics

Shit
Opening word used to express their feelings about the following lyrics

2500 Wilson Block born and raised
I grew up in the area of 2500 Wilson Block

Patience is a process
Success requires patience

I remember Prez D and Mr. Coop
I have fond memories of Prez D and Mr. Coop

Had me feeling like the 806 was the truth
Their presence made me feel like 806 was the place to be

Lench Mob coming down 64 Impala
I remember seeing the Lench Mob roll through in a 64 Impala

Mrs. Shaw stayed on my ass like my grandmama
Mrs. Shaw was always watching over me like my grandmother

Don't let her catch you slipping with no shoes on
Mrs. Shaw didn't want to see anyone walking around without shoes on

Or playing in her grass like a school zone
No one was allowed to play on her grass like it was a school zone

Everybody knew that was off limits
It was common knowledge that certain things were not allowed

Crack your ass like Pootie Tang with them ass whoopings
Mrs. Shaw wasn't afraid to discipline you with a whooping

I remember church service and I would fall asleep
I recall attending church services and occasionally falling asleep

Granny slap my forehead Mrs. Shaw would twist my cheek
If I fell asleep during church Granny would hit my forehead and Mrs. Shaw would twist my cheek

Something bout them 2 ladies to me was so unique
Granny and Mrs. Shaw stood out to me as unique individuals

Or they seen something in Shaquile that I just couldn't see
They saw something in Shaquile that I didn't recognize at the time

Cant forget about Mrs. Hill Lord bless her soul
I can't forget Mrs. Hill, may she rest in peace

Mrs. Faye was so real all the legends gone
Mrs. Faye was a genuine person in a world where many legends have passed away

Miss Margie didn't play kept her weapon on
Miss Margie was not one to be messed with and kept a weapon on her

Let it pop on your ass disrespect her home
If you disrespect Miss Margie's home, you're going to have a problem

I waited all of my life just to be something
I have waited my entire life to be successful at something

I waited all of my life just to see something
I have waited all of my life to witness something great

All of my life this what y'all hated for
Others have hated on me my entire life

All of my life this what I waited for
This is what I have been waiting for my entire life

Waking up to breakfast watching Bobby's World
I remember waking up and watching Bobby's World while having breakfast

Dorien chilling on the couch watching Bobby's World
Dorien was relaxing on the couch watching Bobby's World

Catch us thugging on our bikes just like Bobby's World
We used to ride our bikes around like we were in Bobby's World

Ain't seen my friend since 98 just like Bobby's World
I haven't seen my friend since 1998, just like in Bobby's World

Its a cold cold world here we living in
The world we live in can be a cruel place

People really kid knapping and killing kids
Sadly, people are actually kidnapping and murdering children

Police department sit on their ass They ain't doing shit
The police department is not doing enough to prevent these crimes

Guess it don't matter if the melanin don't stick with them
It seems the police don't care as much about these crimes when the victims are people of color

Power to the people let us make a way
We need to come together as a community and make a change

Fuck a silence make em listen to what we have to say
Let's speak out about what we believe in and make sure people listen

So many missing babies gone without a trace
There are too many cases of missing children without any leads

The only ones not being found is from the black race
It seems like children of color are less likely to be found when missing

Can somebody explain tell me what's going on
Can anyone provide some insight into what is happening?

Ain't nobody talking bout it so I know it's wrong
If nobody is bringing attention to a problem, it must be wrong

Its that time to unify like a fist we strong
We need to come together and be strong like a fist

Fuck the hood and the set lets put the culture on
We need to focus on our culture instead of just the specific areas we come from

I see babies growing up, but never see the pops
I see children growing up without their fathers

You niggas cowards, I refuse to give you niggas props
I won't give respect to those who are too afraid to be fathers and take care of their children

They plants seeds and got water, but never leave a drop
Some men father children but don't follow through on their responsibilities

And these mothers are dumber who wanna be a thot
Some mothers who dress promiscuously and engage in questionable behavior are making poor choices

Or be a whore and a bitch they even call you bops
Being promiscuous can lead to negative labels like 'whore' or 'bitch'

To my real black queens give it all you got
I encourage strong and intelligent black women to keep pushing forward

Yes I said you're a queen baby never settle
I believe black women are queens and should never settle for less than they deserve

Leave these simps where they're at they ain't on your level
Don't waste your time on men who aren't on your level

Let me elevate your mind if he kick you down
I want to help you see things from a higher perspective if you're being mistreated

You ain't gotta sell your body that just puts you down
Don't resort to selling your body, it will only lower your self-worth

Get a job own a business that can be your crown
Work hard and establish yourself professionally so you can be proud of your accomplishments

Now baby daddy look sick cause he didn't hold it down
The father of your child will regret not taking on his responsibilities and being there for his child

Realize your potential girl make them power moves
Recognize your potential and make significant moves in your life to achieve success

Go get your credentials and baby finish school
Obtain proper education and complete school in order to be qualified for higher-paying jobs

When you retire and sitting on stacks smile hard at your work cause you did that
When you retire with wealth and success, be proud of your hard work and determination
