Terror Era Video (MV)

You'ont know about my life
Always had to fight with the roaches and mice
Know they gone flee when you turn on the light
And everyday is a gamble, but we rollin the dice
Tryna make a better way
You ain't gotta be the driver of the getaway
Don't be hangin round them dudes that's making the wrong moves
You could end up on the News, blow ya head away
Now another closed casket, tragic sad shit
Skool of the hardknocks and I'm hoping you pass it
Took night classes amidst the madness
Moms make miracles while the dads is absent
Magic, turn a young man to savage
Unless he learn how to have a plan established
But there was no father figures or male role models
To help build airplanes or railroad models
Till me

Born in the city where I was
In a era where there was no fathers
When most of the men didn't bother
And I'm still gone show'em how ta rise up
Keep grinding till the times up
I aint talking bout serving them dimes up
And I'm hoping you open your eyes up
Use your mind, nigga wise up

Walking in the city where they killed our people
I still smell the stench of the evil
I want to paint a vivid image of them and the danger
That's imminent, poison they giving them straight through the needle
Nothing you can say to an eagle
Unless you say'n Fly Eagle Fly, I'm like
Why Eagle why, would you want to trade
Your wings to be grounded, the ride of your life
Some getting high on the pipe
Others get high off of ego and such
Then you got those who throw weed in the Dutch
And smoke till they choke and they breathing is tough
But, Why are we needing this stuff
You know, them alcoholic beverages
Pop'n pills and them sedatives
This life ain't like what they said it is
But I'm a Live it to No Limit, it's no limits
No matter what life throws me, I'm a go get it
You can call me a bastard, or broke nigga
But I transcend the trend, so go figure
Far from a coke dealer with dime bags
But what I got is gone blow, rewind that
Where your mind at, nevermind where mine at
My mind on business so I mine that
Like a diamond out of the dirt
Even though I got feelings, they ain't got to be hurt
All around the globe, yeah I got to be heard
Can you fly solo, or you got to be herd?
(Huh) I know I ain't the only one
That felt that neglect, I was his only son
Still I got to shine, like a lonely Sun
And keep love in my heart till the road is done

Born in the city where I was
In a era where there was no fathers
When most of the men didn't bother
And I'm still gone show'em how ta rise up
Keep grinding till the times up
I aint talking bout serving them dimes up
And I'm hoping you open your eyes up
Use your mind, nigga wise up

You'ont know about them stripes
Gotta earn them when you living This life
Giving advice, when I'm gripping this mic
You should unclog ya ears, you ain't listening right
Fixing ya life's, like fixing a bike
Missing some parts so I'm fishing tonight
Going deep in the pool of self
Don't fool yourself, it's dark before you get to the light
But one day you'll see the luminescence
Life is science and math, so do your lessons
Thru the stressing, gotta find the blessing
A new battlefield, so modify ya weapons
Negative thoughts like martin, Get to steppin
New perspectives lead to new directions
Through the sections better keep your protection
Knowledge of self will help, the true reflection
Resurrection

Born in the city where I was
In a era where there was no fathers
When most of the men didn't bother
And I'm still gone show'em how ta rise up
Keep grinding till the times up
I aint talking bout serving them dimes up
And I'm hoping you open your eyes up
Use your mind, nigga wise up
