And you try to fix it
To talk about this, the only thing I earned
And for 2 years my momma lookin for me
I wish I could fly away on a unicorn
Men play with fire, men get burned
The time was the late 80's
Comin home from school, your brains on your uniform
And you try to fix it
Tryin hard to speak and
And I shoot any nigga run up on me
When somethin is broken
Fightin with my weak hand
Anyway you can
Tryin hard to speak and
So part of the plan
Arguin with my brother to see who pick the mouse up
Sometimes I wake up and ask God, who life this is?
So part of the plan
When somethin is broken
When somethin is broken
Anyway you can
So who cares if I'm stretched out on the scene?
White actors will be like Puff Daddy when he interned
Look at me, I'm nicest not the iciest
Driven to distraction
I'm from the ghetto and everyday a humans born
Nigga, I'm a gang member, suited up and Im ready to start
Busy smoking, baby dead, rat poison in the kitchen
They so high, walkin by, thinkin she asleep
If you only could understand the vision that I carry
So part of the plan
Man, it all ends up on a back street
Surrounded by homicide forensic team
So part of the plan
Come on y'all who to say what couldn't be?
What's hot, what's not, what should, what shouldn't be
Tryin to repair it
Tryin hard to speak and
Driven to distraction
Anyway you can
This is me in the building 17 with the bundles and a gun up on me
Fightin with my weak hand
By now I aint got no heart
Fightin with my weak hand
I can rap, Im talkin about killin you like this
In abandoned buildings where the crack heads meet
When somethin is broken
Everyday, police would swarm
I look at these eyes, I'm only in this body
Yellow tape, haters glad that I'm dead
But that would be cheatin myself and I can't do that, man
Driven to distraction
Walk by, open up the oven door to heat the house up
Tryin to repair it
Driven to distraction
And you try to fix it
Pedestrians walkin by and they just shakin their heads saying
Or puttin a hole in your head the size of that
And you try to fix it
Fiends threw away their crack babies
Every block had a stray dog with rabies
Tryin to repair it
All you hear is and lighters flicking
Cryin, runnin up on other kids thinkin it's me
Tryin to repair it
Don't even put her in the crib, just cover her with a sheet
