Play The Game, Never Let The Game

In Usa, A Black Man Only Have Like Five Years We Can Exhibit Maximum Strength, And That's Right Now While You A Teenager, While You Still Strong, While You Still Wanna Lift Weights, While You Still Wanna Shoot Back. 'cause Once You Turn 30, It's Like They Take The Heart And Soul Out Of A Man, Out Of A Black Man, In This Country. And You Don't Wanna Fight No More.

Just Because I Write Some Songs About Bad Women, Though, That Doesn't Mean I Hate Women. I've Written Songs That Show Great Love And Respect For Women Too. Songs That Talk About Strong, Upstanding Women And Their Pain. I Have Women Working On My Music. They Understand Where I'm Coming From. So Does My Mama. I Always Play My Music For Her Before It Comes Out. Why Do You Think I Wrote "dear Mama"? I Wrote It For My Mama Because I Love Her And I Felt I Owed Her Something Deep.

And Even Though I Act Crazy I Gotta Thank The Lord That You Made Meh.

God, When I Was Alone, And Had Nothing, I Asked For A Friend To Help Me Bear The Pain, No One Came, Except God, When I Needed A Breath To Rise, From My Sleep, No One Could Help Me.. Except God, When All I Saw Was Sadness, And I Needed Answers, No One Heard Me, Except God, So When I'm Asked.. Who I Give My Unconditional Love To? I Look For No Other Name, Except God

And Did You Ever Stop To Think That Im Old Enough To Go To War But I Aint Old Enough To Drink.
