lyrics

They'll never take me alive, I've got a problem with authority,
I'm horribly vicious, never a drunk, often dis-orderly,
I rhyme immortally, more to the point, I rhyme morbidly,
I tell war stories like Nam Vets with cold 40's,
I smoke blunts, buckets, bongs, anything for weed,
anything y'all niggas need, I can get it guaranteed,
call it whatever you want, I say "supply and demand",
I don't rock a suit, still I remain a businessman,
sick with my techniques, cause I've got a gift for the gab,
taught this rap shit to myself, to hold and to have,
married to the words I dream up, at least 'til I die,
when I was fifteen I dreamed that I'd be dead at twenty-five
penned Breakdown, right after Static wrote about Fries,
started believing in myself after a couple people cried,
then a buddy of mine died, and another chapter closed,
so I have to keep on walking, down this one-way road.

Choose your own direction, when travelling life's path,
Life's a One Way Road, moving slow or moving fast,
the only thing that you can never do is hit the brakes,
so when it's life or death, a wrong turn is all it takes
Choose your own direction, when travelling life's path,
Life's a One Way Road, moving slow or moving fast,
the only thing that you can never do is hit the brakes,
so when it's life or death, a wrong turn is all it takes

I don't regret the life I've lead, I don't forget the lessons either,
they collaborate to make the man performing here this evening,
I just spit from my heart, and pluck at your heart strings,
the most beautiful music is made when a heart sings,
so I transfer that to paper, everytime I start a new sheet,
I brought myself a lot of pain, and lost myself a ton of sleep,
I've prayed myself the Lord's to keep, counted stars, counted sheep,
but nothing ever seemed to ease the pain, it's ingrained so deep,
never cried while I was locked up, but I also never gave up,
everyday I'd wake up, in that rat infested hole,
there were dayz when I was so down, I thought that I would never make it,
lemme dedicate this to my locked up bros,
that's the path I chose to follow, my mistakes have made me tougher,
bad decisions saw me suffer, totally alone
but I have to keep on going, I'm a hustler, not a sucker,
and I plan to prove it to the masses, on my own.

Choose your own direction, when travelling life's path,
Life's a One Way Road, moving slow or moving fast,
the only thing that you can never do is hit the brakes,
so when it's life or death, a wrong turn is all it takes
Choose your own direction, when travelling life's path,
Life's a One Way Road, moving slow or moving fast,
the only thing that you can never do is hit the brakes,
so when it's life or death, a wrong turn is all it takes.
