its always the darkest right before the sun rise
and you gotta stay strong for the kids in there eyes'n
and please dont despise and go against all brothers
and have a hatred in heart and take it out on another

and the will to succeed only feed the hunger

i was at the gas station when a man walked passed
with a sign will work for food, clothes or cash
and he asked if he could pump my gas so i let him
clean the windsheild and throw out the trash so i let him
hey, i even asked the brother his name
where he was from, got kids man and whats they ages
he kinda stared for a second he kinda looked suprised
that anyone would even take an intrest in his life
he said young brother there the only words ive heard in the last year
was a no and get the **** away from hurr
how could something so simple as general conversation
mean much more than general conversation
hey you could tell life had beaten him down
like he was in the title fight and this might be his last round
sometimes the easiest things we take for granted
until there gone we realized we even had it
for real, for real, for real (ha-haha-ha-ha)

i used to think that life had a plan for me
until i realized life had to be planned by me
see thats the key i only deal wit what i can see
cuz over history, mystery brought us nothin but misery
theres more people that done died in the name of the lord
then in any natural disaster, disease or gang wars
before guns there was swords and they was killing each other
aint much changed to this day we still killing each other
killing our brothers while another mother cries for help
man we need to help a brother find himself
feed 'em life 1, 2, 3
hey theres something every brother should see
and thats for real,
and thats for real,
and thats for real
