I done been through hell and I felt the pain I done seen the whole world go through a whole lot of change I seen a mama watch her baby die, just for gettin' high Then twenty minutes later, go get high I seen killers get justified, and all the while Scratchin' my head, wonderin' how is it right? I seen some real good people die in the crossfire Of some men afraid of losin' their pride It's pain in the burbs... And pain in the streets It's a war on the church... And war in the east So listen... Half of us thirst, while half of us feast Steady chasin' this Hollywood peace I seen so many cry, I seen so many die over nothin' at all Giving their life up for something so small I seen so many tears over so many years we can never get back This ain't life if we're livin' in a past that's Sidewayz I lost my patna Reece, and ever since that day Life's been crazy man, I really ain't had too much to say Sometimes I want revenge, but that's the Devil's way Of actin' out, so I just get down on my knees and pray I ask Him lead the way, but if it gets no better Just know I tried... Consider this my last letter To my fans, to my friends, to my family When I leave this earth, I hope ya'll all remember me RIP shawty Quint. Rest in peace Preacha Man I'm gon' hold it down, but swear to God I miss you man RIP Yoowah, we miss you Franco Freaky Tee, he took it hard... I feel his pain though I seen so many cry, I seen so many die over nothin' at all Giving their life up for something so small I seen so many tears over so many years we can never get back This ain't life if we're livin' in a past that's Sidewayz There's got to be hope in my future, cuz there's pain in my past But I always been a believer, that the sufferin' can't last Cuz the rain comes down... The flood gets high But sooner or later something is gon' have to shine If we stop walkin' Sidewayz This life gon' fade like the wind blows But homie I know where I'm about to go Down that golden highway! Leavin' behind this pain that I've seen! I seen so many cry, I seen so many die over nothin' at all Giving their life up for something so small I seen so many tears over so many years we can never get back This ain't life if we're livin' in a past that's Sidewayz
