Ay, yea yea yea, Wa wooh ooh

Ay, yea yea yea, Wa wooh ooh
Ay, yea yea yea, Wa wooh ooh

Back in penitentiary
Long gone misery
Left me alone, I grew up
Amongst the mad breed
So my mind
Couldn't find a place to rest
With me got this thug plaque
Tattoo on my chest
Nigga never sleep
When am living in da past
Stare in the lights
Mi pop off and first to blast
He knew my father
He was a gangsta in the streets
But now hes gone
Mi deh ya so still a plead
Till him rest in peace
Now am heading for the treach
I remember me
So many homies in the cemetery
Seem as if I am a missionary
But when am gone
Know my momma
Gonna cry for me

Take me away
From all the pressure
And all the pain,
Show me some happiness again
I'm going blind
I spend my time down stairs
I live in bed
You know my destiny is hell
But till I fear
My mind is so misleading
I couldn't see
I gotta brain full of demons
Tryin' to break free
I know one day
When, (Ay)
But when I die
I be steppin' with my father
And the most high w

Gangsta 4 life, I see you running

Dying
Ay, yea yea yea, Wa ooh ooh




Dying

Back in penitentiary
I was in prison before


Long gone misery
A lot of pain in the past


Left me alone, I grew up
I was left alone and had to grow up on my own


Amongst the mad breed
I grew up with other troublemakers


So my mind
My thoughts


Couldn't find a place to rest
My thoughts were always bothering me, never at peace


With me got this thug plaque
I have a thug mentality


Tattoo on my chest
I have a tattoo on my chest proving my loyalty to the thug life


Nigga never sleep
I never sleep


When am living in da past
When I think about the past


Stare in the lights
I'm alert and watchful


Mi pop off and first to blast
I quickly react with force


He knew my father
Someone knows my dad


He was a gangsta in the streets
My dad was a gangster


But now hes gone
But he's no longer here


Mi deh ya so still a plead
I'm still here, begging and pleading


Till him rest in peace
Until he's resting in peace


Now am heading for the treach
Now I'm heading towards trouble


I remember me
I remember myself


So many homies in the cemetery
So many of my friends are dead and buried


Seem as if I am a missionary
I feel like I'm on a mission

Take me away from this situation


From all the pressure

I spend my time in a bad place

I feel like my future is bleak


But till I fear
But I'm scared


My mind is so misleading
My thoughts are confusing me

But when I die
But when I die


I be steppin' with my father
I'll be reunited with my dad


And the most high w
And God


No one knows my struggle
No one understands my struggle


They don't know my trouble
They don't know my problems and difficulties

I need to keep going


Because ya momma love you
Because my mother loves me


They don't wanna see me rich
They don't want to see me succeed


They wanna see me poor
They want to see me fail


Gangsta 4 life, I see you running
I'll always be a gangster, even if people run from me
