[01:15.46]Could this be 'cos of hip hop music?
[01:17.57]Or did the ones with the good sense not use it?
[01:19.39]Usually niggas don't know what to do when their back against the wall so they just start shootin'
[01:23.01]For red or for blue or for blo I guess
[01:24.74]From Bankhead or from your projects
[01:26.45]No more stress, now I'm straight, now I get it, now I take
[01:29.97]Time to think, before I make mistakes just for my family's sake
[01:33.53]That part of me left yesterday
[01:35.21]The heart of me is strong today
[01:37.24]No regrets I'm blessed to say
[01:38.95]The old me dead and gone away
