As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death New York to Cali, for the money, power, respect It's a journey, some will get left behind 'Cause in life, you cannot press rewind
Get it right, you only have one first chance To make one first impression that lasts a lifetime Reputation supersede itself Do you believe in hell? Babylon greed for wealth
Do you deceive yourself and let your ego swell? And disregard those who most need your help Thick skin, the dark won't take my soul Survive spiritual wars, see my welts
And the evil's felt but the faith is stronger I saw grown men fall when I was a youngster But I clench my fists, ready to go against whoever Tie my timbs and rise in the end
When the Armageddon's dark and dread A lot of weak hearted weep and moan Only the strong will continue, do you have it in you? Come, we've got a journey to go
And when the battle get sour and tread A lot of weak hearted wither and moan Only the strong will continue, I know you have it in you I know you have it in you
No man live forever but never say never Every good he want better, must be a go getter And always be clever in every endeavor Now drastic time call for drastic measure
Your girl try to pleasure from your neighbors, things sever The land and the treasure, work for whatever Jah said don't be a beggar, the Alpha Omega Will bless every soul no matter which name you prefer
The immortal stepper, believe in every skin No matter which color they are We never let we don't know here which kind of weather You're destined to rise like the son of Rebbecca Don't stop for a second
Everyone reckon, it sure would be good to be there Whether Zion or Mecca When the gates are finally closed And the saints go marchin' in
When the Armageddon's dark and dread A lot of weak hearted weep and moan Only the strong will continue, do you have it in you? Come, we've got a journey to go
And when the battle get sour and dread A lot of weak hearted wither and moan Only the strong will continue, I know you have it in you I know you have it in you
I'm a street lifer, always harassed by the C-ciphers Chief-like, Geronimo with his peace pipe I emerged from the street life This for the homies who relate, know what it be like
My QB life Taken and turned to the Louie XIII light Twisted and mangled sorta like Bruce Lee life Cursed with his son Brandon if that's you and me knight I pray our fate's greater
I speak like I still matter as a rapper, not doubtin' Even Toni Braxton signed a deal with Craig Kallman How in, the hell am I supposed to stay comfy? When I pay child support, alimony, monthly?
Got Maserati's and Ferrari's Only like a woman whose a rider but only hoes want me Single life crazy, niggas wives on me I say stay faithful, they say their man corny
So I'm stuck with some married woman, so fine Cheatin' while their husband rushin' on the 40 yard line Wonder if this is what my ex did the whole time Good niggas seem to always end up with some hard times, hope not
If a pimp slippin' in a hoe plot, ain't nothin' to it G In a two-tone drop, kid And it don't stop, see a nigga disappearin' With the baddest honey's in the whole spot, yeah
