You can see the pain in my eyes
See the tracks in my tears
Feel it deep in my body
You don't know where I came from
I can't go back, no, I can't run
I won't do that for nobody
This world so cold, I can't ever work my code
You won't ever take my soul
You won't ever
And I'm all alone
I ain't got no one to hold
But you won't ever take my soul
You won't ever take my soul
You won't ever

Love is a myth, unless it's your mother, father and kids
You beg to dif'
Forgive 'em for their ignorance
They not rememberin'
I gotta give them their discipline
Remember when I used to suffer
Struggle through deadly pain?
I got it good now
I'm talkin' a mental plane
Silencin' all the noise
Pray for the day I bust a Nina on that bitch who shot Selena
Then I rejoice, uh
We some fathers to our boys
Birth a boy, you rich for life, see the joy
I live to see my kids doin' business
Tell 'em everything's business
Basically, everything's a business
So make it your business to get it

You can see the pain in my eyes
See the tracks in my tears
Feel it deep in my body
You don't know where I came from
I can't go back, no, I can't run
I won't do that for nobody
This world so cold, I can't ever work my code
You won't ever take my soul
You won't ever
And I'm all alone
I ain't got no one to hold
But you won't ever take my soul
You won't ever take my soul
You won't ever

I had no Damon Dash as my partner
The maniacs, I wish I had a Damon
I woulda been straighter with that shit
No Puffs, I had crack sellers to trust
No Suges, not even no havin' your shit when we change
How the patterns go
Free Bill Underwood
Morris Levy was free grabbin' dough
Status quo straight from the barrios
Khaled now how the Calico was blowin'
To all my dawgs CEOin'
P and Coach K and Top Dawg, see, we growin'
Brother, my Highbridge niggas a lotta weed smokin'
Later I had my dawg Steve missin'
Lightey and my man Shakir
Damn, I wish all my dawgs was here
You can see that we all some kings in our eyes

You can see the pain in my eyes
See the tracks in my tears
Feel it deep in my body
You don't know where I came from
I can't go back, no, I can't run
I won't do that for nobody
This world so cold, I can't ever work my code
You won't ever take my soul
You won't ever
And I'm all alone
I ain't got no one to hold
But you won't ever take my soul
You won't ever take my soul
You won't ever
