The bible has 2 types of text. The black words which are the old testament stories and the new testament accounts of what Jesus Christ said or did according to those who knew him or heard of him, & the Words In Red which are the words of Jesus Christ himself. When applied to life, the words in black about us are people's interpretations of us and how they tell the stories about us, and the Words In Red are what we've actually done and what we've actually said which is the only absolute truth about us.
lyrics
life is what you make it nigga,
yeah I know I know... so cliche,
but what's a cliche but a tried and true statement nigga... (hmmm)
somethings only complicated when you don't understand it,
the more you learn the more simple it gets,
so is it life is hard or you just haven't took the time to realize uh
just how easy it is, (hmm)
just let it sink, don't think don't think,
it's plain english it's register immediately,
the human mind doesn't error it just makes the best decisions that it can
with the information that it's recieved,
so there are no mistakes, just right decisions made based
on what you know when that decision was made,
and the only time you do wrong is when you learn better,
then you turn around and still do the same things yeah!
what can I say I'm just in a different place
I'm just in a different zone, I'm just in a mental space
that is something I've always known I just needed the time to say
exactly what I need to say in a very specific way yeah!
Mr Potts came out to play yeah, married man not a play-ya!
and I keep a smile on my face, but don't get it confused
my nigga I'm not for play yeah!
you wasn't there when I had to pull my knife out on those Samoans
who had me pressed up against my back
you wasn't there when I had to sock that Asian nigga out for tryna
choke me from the back in the middle of a gang scrap
so I know sometimes yall wonder why I act the way I act
knowing where I'm from I should be way more relaxed,
and I be on my positve tip that's no cap, but I am not Lil B
I will sock you niggas back
I spent my early 20's sippin jack and smokin' blacks, like a loser,
and I can never get those years back
and I aint bout to spend the next 10 years doin that
so if that's what you on my nigga I'll hit you back yeah,
cause I aint never goin back there
I'm way too focused on these racks here
I'm way too focused on financial freedom
and I am way too close to that yeah
so what is it that you've heard about me (heard about me)
well I'm everything they say I am
but before they say another word about me (word about me)
you go tell 'em who I say I am (repeats 2x)
Rest In Peace Rodney
