Let Me Speak

[Intro: 38 Spesh & DJ Green Lantern]
Uh, nah'm sayin'? (Nah'm sayin'?)
This what I enjoy doin' best
That mothafuckin' pain, man
Ya nah'm sayin'?
Shay, turn me the fuck up, man
Let me hear myself
Let me hear this music
Nah'm sayin'? (Uh)
Speakin' from the heart here (From the heart)
Uh (Uh)
Feel my drift, playa (I feel you)
Let's go (Let's go)
This that out on bail music, man
Right, yo
It's that live or die
Uh, yo, uh

[Verse]
Dear mama
Know you wish we were home but we gon'
Your two sons
I got caught with the chrome, we was wrong
It was hard, it was cold
It was bad, we was bold
Don't worry
'Fore you know it we be back on parole
And it is what it is
Gotta go, got a bid
We just mad 'cause we can't be
There for the kids
And it hurts me to think when they hungry or thirsty
Hope God reimburse me with mercy
My mama had birthed me
But the streets grabbed me from my nursery
They bathed me and burped me, they encouraged me
All they did was work me, desert me
Leave me then jerk me
Got charges from Washington DC to Jersey
You heard me?
Never ran, mama did the best she can
Two sons in the can? Somethin' she never planned
I gotta go back home, gotta go and make sure that crack gone
Knowin' that I'm my family backbone
Pop's need money, the kids need money
My aunts need money, my mom's need money
Shit, they all need money and they call me for money
And I go through the check to make sure you correct
Ma, you know you the best and I love you to death
I don't do what you expect but I'ma do my best
Tryna make it through the mess for my pop's left
Who did it effect: me or you?
But you was really stressed
Me? I was in the projects, Ruger's by the sweats
Gettin' checks, tryin' move us to a new address
Shit, I feel like what I do is not a threat
I can't wear these shoes to school, it's ruinin' my rep
I regret leavin', bein' gone for them weeks
Not callin' at least but your boy in the streets
Used to play with toys now I toy with the heat
I'm even paranoid when I'm sleep
Please let me speak
Speak to my family
Please understand me
I only got what the streets hand me
I gotta keep the heat 'cause the heat come in handy
Cats in the streets want to blam me
Please let me speak
Please, money, keys
Cars, trees, that's all I really need
I ask for things I don't need
Is it hunger or is it greed?
Please, let me speak
Uh (Uh-uh-uh)
