King Troopa - Love, Life, Loyalty Lyrics

How you stay mentally strong like that?
I just take it one day at a time, you know?
Just try to educate myself
You got family, friends, you know what I'm sayin that help and support
But I feel like I'm down.. you know, but at the same time I gotta stay strong for them
And try not to leave the same person I came
Got messages from the people like, "Where you been Bos?!"
I took a break from the rappin but never love loss
I did the College of Engineering now my paper tight
I got the talent but also gotta get the business right
Gotta master the game and keep my eyes wide
Keep it balanced and versatile on either side
It ain't a thang make the words bleed and the pen stride
All the people who motivated me been died
I wanna strive to never fail for Tyrell
He live through me, so life I try to live it well
When I was walking he never switched when I came to visit
Was living with cancer but he never let it kill his spirit
When you alive they never checkin if you alright
Then when you pass they love to pretend like y'all was tight
Then got the nerve to post you all on they social sites
That's one of the reasons I ride by myself at night
I get love from the city gotta respect that
North Little Rock, El Dorado I gotta rep that
Them two places they sacred just like a chest tatt
My blood shed for cousin Des he in the feds
His pops told him to leave that white girl from the start
He didn't judge he dated her with a kind heart
Psychological problems, violent past with her kids and Aunt
And pregnant with both of Des twins, on the third month
She asked Des to watch her daughters like both was sleepin
But come to find out, one was dead, she wasn't breathin
Capital Murder, they gave him Life without Parole
She made a deal with the system because the system cold
Custody of none of her kids, a meth dealer
Des parents raising the twins so who's realer
The lawyer ran off with $20G's didn't even fight
You gotta be careful on who you love into your life
The love of my life didn't show my life love
Neglect and pain, she gave her heart to a scrub
She still try to convince me that she ain't meant for me
If I can go back in time I'd do it differently
Said I'm controlling I only tried to be motivation
Too many assumptions and not enough communication
The most valuable woman my Momz the only one
The day that she pass, I ain't ready for when that day come
Ain't no secrets in the mind of the one that's seekin
Signs and symbols, the wisdom in them worth keepin
I paid attention to all the words that the G's was speakin
The knowledge on my brain thicker than a Puerto Rican
That's why these lil' niggas listen cause when a challenge call
I never fall I cuff balls and stand tall
You ride the bench I get mines for every inch
Loyalty with the Almighy the Sixth Sense...
Love, Life, Loyalty?
Love man, it's a strong word
So if you ain't standing on it, it ain't nothin to be played with
Life? You only get one, so...
With that being said you gotta live your life how you wanna live your life
Can't live it, based on, how people want you to live it
What they say, what they might think
And Loyalty... you know what I'm sayin you can't have nothin without loyalty
Loyalty built off of order man if you ain't got no order
You know what I'm sayin you can't have no loyalty
Shit, long as you believe that you, know what I'm sayin...
What ever you believe in. Shit, stand for what you believe and die for what you believe in...
