[00:49.66]Tears that drip between us
[00:51.42]Years have blew between us just to throw away
[00:56.70]Minus the glory, but I love our story
[01:01.56]Yeah I lock the door just to store it away

[01:16.72]Yeah right that's a underbid
[01:18.72]They say love don't cost a thing

[01:34.06]I just get my thoughts off, I just take the top off
[01:35.97]When the cauldron bubble, we come from the back block
[01:38.52]So they call us trouble, we can never slouch nor stop off
[01:41.08]Weekend on the couch with the socks off
[01:43.65]Nah, we can make it count, run the clock off
[01:46.16]We can count lives on the block lost
[01:48.42]Caution every tape, that we can never block off

[02:11.77]I catch niggas gettin' sore when I do me
[02:13.58]I still wish them niggas more than they do me
[02:16.08]Gotta live up to the blessings of my Umi
[02:18.56]Bring myself, couple steps closer to my God above
[02:20.72]Never read the "Art of War" but it's hard to love
[02:23.39]Never know when you go rollercoaster
[02:24.91]All your highs got a low, rollercoaster
[02:27.69]Bring myself, couple steps closer to my God above
[02:30.05]Never read the "Art of War" but I could write the Art of Love
[02:33.40]

[02:40.43]Tears that drip between us
[02:42.20]Years have blew between us just throw away
[02:47.51]Minus the glory, but I love our story
[02:51.22]Yeah I lock the door just to store it away
[02:55.69]The inner me is tellin' me, "I gotta pace it"
[02:57.61]The winner in me is tellin', "I got a bottle of Ace"
[03:00.21]Cole gave me at the garden from the case, send 'em looked 'em in the face
[03:03.29]Told 'em I can't pop it til sell it on my own occassion, bold claim
[03:06.44]Told my momma I'd be back and I make it, both came true
[03:09.41]Thought I was escapin'
[03:10.56]Just to find myself right back in the Matrix, both pills blue
[03:13.69]I thought I'd be fulfilled
[03:16.99]I came from not a dollar in my momma basement
[03:18.90]I came from baggin' product in my momma basement
[03:20.86]Almost lost some shells tryna bust a couple sells
[03:23.34]They went and caught a collar in my momma basement
[03:25.50]I've been tryna keep her proud since, nigga way back
[03:27.87]Got some niggas, keep me grounded, that's some way back
[03:30.22]But I gotta take flights sometimes
[03:32.13]These are fightin' times, I'm my only opponent
[03:34.09]Somedays I'm betrayin' my holiest moments
[03:36.56]I don't know who could control 'em
[03:38.83]I don't know who could control 'em
[03:40.63]I ain't living for me, I'm the youngest of five
[03:43.34]And if I don't survive, I don't know who could console 'em
[03:46.10]I don't know who could console 'em
