Life & Limitation

(Verse 1)
Sitting in court for using the 44
Criminal record was to much for the judge to ignore
Now he's facing time much more than he had before
Let's dig a little deeper in an effort to explore
The path of a young black male in this position
What could drive him crazy with no keys in the ignition
Ignored his intuition accepting a G's mission
Pressured by his peers to do it for recognition
This would not have happened if positive male influence
Was present in his life that could guide what he was doing
The guys that he's pursuing and lies that they were using would turn this young truant to a life destined for ruin
But mix the insecurity with alcoholic fluid
And what you get is an animal lashing out for amusement
His mother was abusive she made him pay
For all the bad relationships with men
Who told her she was useless
He's got something to prove his complex is on Napoleon
No license for the car that he was Rollin in
Just then another misguided youth approaches him
Asks him if he's holding then passes him a note that says
Sorry in advance, the gun in his pants was loaded when he pulled it out and fired you could see the brothas soul ascend
Fled the scene and left the body for holy men
The case was only open 7 days before it closed for him
Stood before the judge cuffs kept his hands from opening
Knowing that he's never gonna step inside his home again
Freedom is something that this brotha will never know again
25 to life is a sentence written for broken men
But he was only 10, there's simply no defense
And there was no suspense the jury had no intent
Of giving him his free, in his attempts to be something
That he was not pretending ends in grief
