Cario

He was taught to keep it real, but never tell on folks
My younger homie needed money, now he pushin' dope
Mama smoked away her money, so she always broke
What you expect for him to do, cause he ain't got no hope
Yeah, find your purpose, that's the better option
Use your mind to get away, just like that kid from Compton
They don't wanna see you grow, they the opposition
Pray to GOD to change your life and make the right decision
My little homie from the trenches, chemist in that kitchen
Oh yeah, he never went to school, cause he was jumpin' fences
And on that corner with that 40, was his main position
Streets taught him what he know, his father always missin'
Ridin' round my side of town, it got me reminiscin'
You the reason I'm still goin', gotta make it rappin'
Show you GOD is really real, that's why I'm steady rappin'
And all these rappers, they be lyin', cause all they do is actin'
But who am I to tell them different, all they want is money
Kinda crazy piece of paper, got them actin' funny
Back to you, I hope you know your struggle make you stronger
I had some demons to overcome, so yeah it took me longer
I'm Kevin Hart to this grind, but I ain't tellin' jokes
Preacher man what you call me, cause I was givin' hope
Yeah, no religion, but his kingdom here
These words I speak will change your life, I hope you hear me clear
He was taught to keep it real, but never tell on folks
My younger homie needed money, now he pushin' dope
Mama smoked away her money, so she always broke
What you expect for him to do, cause he ain't got no hope
Yeah, find your purpose, that's the better option
Use your mind to get away, just like that kid from Compton
They don't wanna see you grow, they the opposition
Pray to GOD to change your life and make the right decision
Pray to GOD to change your life and make the right decision
You got knowledge, but won't grow, is what I call division
But I got GOD, he multiply, just like a mathematician
Come together, teach each other, that's my FATHER'S vision
But we were young, we wanted money, but we lived in pain
You like a seed up in the ground, so can you stand that rain
And what I mean, you gotta grow, so when them times get rough
You learn your lesson, keep on grindin', ain't no givin' up
That's what I did, pray to GOD when you did that bid
It hurt my heart to see your mom cry, I shed them tears
You locked away up in that cell, and we ain't talk for years
It's only right I write this song, so you can face your fears
Yeah, GOD is real, I know you see him in me
I went from hidin all them guns, and livin' life in envy
I'm livin' right, his HOLY SPIRIT, yeah, HE always with me
This the type of rap we gotta have, I know y'all feel me
He was taught to keep it real, but never tell on folks
My younger homie needed money, now he pushin' dope
Mama smoked away her money, so she always broke
What you expect for him to do, cause he ain't got no hope
Yeah, find your purpose, that's the better option
Use your mind to get away, just like that kid from Compton
They don't wanna see you grow, then they the opposition
Pray to GOD to change your life, and make the right decision
Pray to GOD to change your life, that be the right decision
Pray to GOD to change your life, that be the right decision
I miss you, bruh
