America got a thing for this gangster shit Well I ain't got it So if different shit is wack to you, don't cop it I can only be honest in the shit that I write Take a trip through my life Visit the vivid imagery I'm giving you twice One with the beat, the other when I'm spitting precise You can't help but say this nigga is nice But if I don't make a tec spit You won't respect it Or cop the record, so fuck it let me get reckless If I like that shine on your necklace I'm a buss shots, go shine on your necklace Drop top sped off before those hots shots let off Now your ass can't wear shine cause you're neckless (haha) Shit, let's get serious people Real shit really isn't real to you people This is my life, fuck what you write This is my genre, fuck what you like. I got no real family No real friends No real escape No real end So I'm gonna die with my music by my side and that's true shit No good liquor No good bud No good pussy No good drugs So music is the only love. You ever had a fuckin conversation with a song you sampled Smoking as much weed as the bong could handle I was high looking for some inspiration A way that I could talk through the beat itself Then I put on some Grand Central Station Track 9 on the album, Release yourself, it said "Music is the only Love" Hell Motha fuckin' yeah It's the only love, I'm never lonely cause it disowned me Trust that if it needs me, I'll be there and vice versa Can't say the same about these phoney punks When I was laying in the hospital bed hooked to an IV No one even cared if I was dead, ain't want to find me Music was right there, my life was touched So I love music twice as much. Sometimes I feel like I... Got no real family No real friends No real escape No real end So I'm gonna die with my music by my side and that's true shit No good liquor No good bud No good pussy No good drugs So music is the only love. Sleepin on the 2 train, freezin cold 18 years old, wearing pink and gold No desire to live No where I need to go Dead tired but wired from weed and coke E and dope, speed and anything that could help me leave this hopeless state of mind God saw me, he would note, Forgive me god for saying leave me alone He forgave me and he gave me The best thing that has ever happen to me That's the treble and the bass clef Turns out that I had it since a baby Because of pain, I lost sight of it lately This whole world makes me crazy But not music, music just makes me I don't make music. Music makes me So you can hate me Music appreciates me So I'm gonna die with my music by my side and that's true shit No good liquor No good bud No good pussy No good drugs So music is the only love. This is dedicated to anyone that puts music first If you would rather sing than breathe If all you had left in your body was the ability to play your instrument, would you? If so this is for you If you would write a song with your own blood as ink This is for you Music is not just an expression It is an Art Form It is a turnicate to the bleeding heart Music is the helicopter that saves your soul from the hurricane of life Music is all you got This is for you.
