War-Zone in your Backyard
There's a war zone right in them streets,
you can't be friendly with every person you meet,
Cuz they'll rob yo butt and throw you in tha trunk, You go missing nobody gives a darn if you're homeless or a drunk, They'll wrap you up and throw you ova a bridge, Today's headline read they found anotha body stuft in a fridge, On the streets folks are dropping like flies, All because snitches telling too many lies, Youngstas have traded in their candy for a gun, Mothers running down the street after them praying the Lord will help them save their son.
Inspiration for the Christians
Tomorrow is not promised, so you got to live today like it's
your last,
Always look towards your future, forget about your past, Run towards the Lord he'll be your protector, If you die in him, at the end of time he'll be your resurrect-or, The Lord says to watch as well as pray, If you spare the rod, you spoil a child then they'll surely go astray, Love your enemies as you love yourself, You learn the commandments by reading your bibles instead of just leaving it sitting on your shelf, Have total faith and trust in him, he won't let you down, Even-though you can't see him, you feel him because he's always a-roun.....!
That Queen be Me
The Lioness inside of me screams to be free,
who would ever dare to be me, big shoes to fill you see, just like others I too started from the bottom, I had to scratch and crawl my way, before I found stardom, Never been one to be afraid to take chances, Because taking those chances sometimes ended up in joy and dances, I wasn't born that lucky one with the silver spoon in my mouth, Earn your keep, It's all about survival down South, They say keep your friends close but your enemies closer, If I don't keep a level head then I too, could wind up on a wanted poster, They smile in your face while they stab you in the back, I tell them, I look forward to it, I wait for them to attack, Like a lioness roar, I mean what I say, and say what I mean, Wake up, you're living in a world of make-believe, stop looking for that magic bean!
