0:00Living in a glass bubble the fast hustle
0:03The masked struggle that I'm in
0:05The same one that you in
0:06I knew inside when I was outside on the south side
0:10Had to take it a step further
0:12The way that Ralph tried
0:13Oh that's my stepfather
0:15He stressed harder to make that bed and lock them doors
0:18For the perfect picture I forgot to pose
0:21Used to rock Jabos and go out with bros
0:23Tryna get lots of hoes till I got exposed
0:27To a bigger picture called free
0:29In the picture it was me
0:30Al Hajj Malik Shabazz Muhammad and Noble Drew Ali
0:34A side of Erykah Badu and Andre 3000
0:39Telling me what I can't be
0:40But you can't paint me
0:42Black is the color of my true love spirit
0:45And I do love lyrics
0:46And I used to love Harold's Chicken
0:48And I dance pretty good
0:50And I feel at home in the hood
0:51And I get lit in the club
0:53Still I love
0:54If you look in my eyes you'll see love deep inside
1:00When I look in the sky I see freedom
1:07If you look in my eyes you'll see love deep inside
1:14When I look in the sky I see freedom
1:22If you hear this rhyme it's coming from division 9
1:25The toughest in Cook County
1:27They count me out cause I did a crime
1:29They say it's violent time in human beings
1:32But being they ain't seeing me as human
1:34In this big business called prison I'm the one that's consuming
1:37Illuminati illuminate me fume and hate me
1:40Mutilate me from my family society and loved ones
1:44I wasn't raised to love guns well maybe toy ones
1:47My pops y'all built and destroyed him
1:50With prescriptions of poverty d**e and unemployment
1:53When will we see enjoyment
1:55I smile when my little boy get to visit for about 30 minutes
1:59But we ain't never spent Christmas together
2:01Tryna get it together
2:02What I'ma do when I get out
2:04I don't know what it is to live out
2:06Just reminiscing of the big house
2:07I'm the one justice chose to spit out
2:10My life story is written in a prison sentence
2:12Wonder if this cell got room for forgiveness
2:15Still I love
2:16If you look in my eyes you'll see love deep inside
2:22When I look in the sky I see freedom
2:29If you look in my eyes you'll see love deep inside
2:36When I look in the sky I see freedom
2:42It's gonna be you and me
2:46When you're feeling free
2:47Make you feel alive
2:49What you got inside make you go outside
2:52The change in I
2:54Is the realest high
2:56It's the realest high
3:10It's gonna be you and me
3:13When you're feeling free
3:14Make you feel alive
3:16What you got inside make you go outside
3:20The change in I
3:21Is the realest high
3:23It's the realest high
3:37It's gonna be you and me
3:40When you're feeling free
3:42Make you feel alive
3:43What you got inside make you go outside
3:47The change in I
3:48Is the realest high
3:50It's the realest high
4:04It's gonna be you and me
4:07When you're feeling free
4:09Make you feel alive
4:11What you got inside make you go outside
4:14The change in I
4:16Is the realest high
4:17It's the realest high
