and you gotta stay strong for the kids and their eyes

I was at the gas station when a man walked passed

with a sign will work for food, clothes or cash

and he asked if he could pump my gas so I let him

clean the windsheild and throw out the trash so i let him

hey I even asked the brother his name,

where he was from, got kids man and whats there ages

he kinda stared for a second he kinnda looked suprised

that anyone would even take an intrest in his life

he said young brother there the only words I've heard in the last year was a no or get the fuck away from here

how could something so simple as general conversation

mean much more than general conversation

hey you could tell life had beaten him down

like he was in the title fight, and this might be his last round

sometimes the easiest things we take for granted

until their gone and realized we even had it

for real, for real, for real

I used to think that life had a plan for me

until I realized life had to be planned by me

see thats the key

I only deal with what I can see

cuz over history

mystery brought us nothing but misery

name on people and I

and the name of the lord

that in any natural disaster, diesease or gang wars

before guns there was swords

and they was killing each other

ain't much changed to this day we still killing each other

killing our brothers while another mother cries for help

man we need to help a brother find himself

feed'em, light 1 2 3

hey theres something every brother should see

and thats for real,

and thats for real,

and thats for real
