I wanna dedicate this song to the young god, KareemThe Genius, DigiSing it to 'em van SeijenLike to keep my head up to the skyAnd ask myself why it has to be this wayI'd like to live my life in peaceAnd have not to worry about all the dramas of the dayAs we strive for luxury and try to feed our familiesIt always seems that someone's in your wayI'd like to live my life in peaceAnd have not to worry about all the dramas of the dayI met a young brother about 28Who seemed intelligent and rather quite straightI greeted him and struck a conversationTo see if the youngster had some self-motivationPeace brother, what's your name? How you be?I'm Rugged Monk and I'm all about the currencyYou mean gettin' paid? Yeah, like my man's brotherWho has a condo, he shares with his baby motherYou know a condo beats my apartmentWith no lights, no gas and backed up rentNo hot water or heat, infested with plenty ratsThat'll eat up the average alley catI'm like damn homey that's poverty he's likeWord O.G. that bothers mePlus I'm about to be a new father GWe need to wise up and change the hood policyLike to keep my head up to the skyAnd ask myself why it has to be this wayI'd like to live my life in peaceAnd have not to worry about all the dramas of the dayAs we strive for luxury and try to feed our familiesIt always seems that someone's in your wayI'd like to live my life in peaceAnd have not to worry about all the dramas of the dayYo, why you fear the devil as a grown man?Why you not out there tryin' to make your own plan?See we are a victim of a situationWhere are wicked man, separated the nationAnd got us killin' off one anotherBlack on black, they pit brother on brotherIt's gettin' hot, hotter than JulySee the murder and crime rate is risin' to the skyFor example, in my neighborhood it's so hotI'm often woke up from the alarmin' soundin' of a shotSo I'm thinkin', what? Is your neighborhood a trap?Could this be the place marked X on the map?And I'm spotted like a target in a shootin' gallerySo I strive to seek for a better salarySo I can escape from where? From this ghetto life areaâ€~Cause everyday it gets scarierLike to keep my head up to the skyAnd ask myself why it has to be this wayI'd like to live my life in peaceAnd have not to worry about all the dramas of the dayAs we strive for luxury and try to feed our familiesIt always seems that someone's in your wayI'd like to live my life in peaceAnd have not to worry about all the dramas of the day
