Starin' Through My Rear View

Starin' at the world through my rearview Just lookin' back at the world From another level, ya know what I mean? Starin' Multiple gunshots fill the block, the fun stops Niggas is callin' cops, people shot, nobody stops I wonder when the world stopped carin', last night Two kids shot while the whole block starin' I will never understand this society First they try to murder me then they lie to me Product of a dyin' breed All my homies tryin' weed Now the little baby's crazed raised off Hennessy Tell me, will my enemies flee when they see me? Believe me, even thugs gotta learn to take it easy Listen, through the intermissions search your heart for a plan And we turnin' bad boys to grown men, it's on again I give a holla to my niggas in the darkest corners Roll a perfect blunt, and let me spark it for ya One love from a thug nigga Rollin' with a posse full of paranoid drug dealers To the end, my friend I'm seein' nothin' but my dreams comin' true While I'm starin' at the world through my rearview See, I'm seein' nothin' but my dreams comin' true While I'm starin' at the world through my rearview They got starin' at the world through my rearview Go on, baby, scream to God, he can't hear you I can feel your heart beatin' fast 'cause it's time to die Gettin' high, watchin' time fly 'Cause all my motherfuckers Starin' at the world through my rearview Go on, baby, scream to God, he can't hear you I can feel your heart beatin' fast 'cause it's time to die We gettin' high, watchin' time fly All my motherfuckers Now you see him, now you don't Some niggas be here for the moment, and then they gone What happened to 'em? Well, let's see, it seems to be a mystery But all I know I never let the money get to me Stay down like the truest Thug Life until I check out this bitch, I thought you knew this Who is gonna catch me when I fall or even care to? While you thinkin' I see you lost up in my rearview Hear you is down with them Outlawz Outcast, left far, I'm through like southpaws But still we keep mashin' till our dreams come through Starin' at the world through my rearview Now I was raised as a young black male In order to get paid, forced to make crack sales Caught a nigga so they send me to these overpacked jails In the cell, countin' days in this livin' black hell Do you feel me? Keys to ignition, use at your discretion Roll with a 12 gauge pump for protection Niggas hate me in the section from years of chin-checkin' Turn to Smith and Wesson war weapons Heavenly Father, I'm a soldier I'm gettin' hotter 'cause the world's gettin' colder Baby, let me hold ya Talk to my guns like they fly bitches All you bustas best to run, look at my bitches!
