1:21GQ Johnny Presley f**king up the elegances
1:25So many hookers on your schedule
1:27Slamming Cadillac doors and macking whores on the regular
1:31You used to boost the slickest of suits
1:33Climbing through the back windows on the bus you was ill Dukes

2:15To all my brothers doing time whether or not you did the crime
2:19You know the system is devised to keep you deaf dumb and blind
2:22Like scarface said them cats are smart
2:25In order for things to change we must all play a part
2:28It's easy for us to blame society
2:31But now it's way too late and we must take responsibility
2:34To all my brothers in the streets
2:36I know you feel you gotta hustle cause your peeps gotta eat
2:40Making moves right and exact exact don't wanna see you laying flat
2:44Don't wanna see ya catch a bullet black
2:46If we don't build we'll be destroyed
2:48That's the challenge we face in this race of poor and unemployed
2:51Freud a philosopher but I'm a realist
2:54So philosophize this without love we won't exist
2:57To those who passed out there in the deserts and the jungles
3:01With pain on their shoulders and heavy bundles
3:03I pray each one will ascend to new heights and new enlightenment
3:07And this is why I'm writing it
3:10Yeah this is in memory of
