As the rain slowly goes away (You got me lookin' for a brighter day) As the rain slowly goes away (And I'll be prayin for a better way)
-Layzie Bone-
You ask me, how do we do this the way it's supposed to be done, I'm out here tracin' my steps for the people that gave me a place to sleep and food to eat before Faces of Death/ Thanks for the help and all the support, lended me Gs when I was in need, my pockets was short when I was in court, somebody out there had to believe/ They gave me the go ahead to keep movin' on, keepin' faith wasn't easy at all, dealin' with the haters, dodgin' these laws, who woulda thought that Eazy would fall?/ Now what's left to do?/ Gotta chase this paper by any means necessary, it's a hell of a load that we got to carry, man, this strugglin' shit is temporary/ Every year gotta bury one more nigga in a cemetary, this life be wicked and scary, so I bucked a shell up in ya dary/ Rest in peace, Carrie, Wally, Eazy, Terry and Boo, Baby Boi, Uncle Charles, Biggie and Tupac, remember I'm with you/ Got shit to do, see me blowin' thru, top dropped, bumpin' the thugs, y'all my niggas, y'all my fallen angels, and you livin' on, what?

Let me check the time on my Rollie, life is movin' far from slowly, and if you don't know me by now, I guess i'll be marchin' by my lonely/ Nigga got shit to lose, we got thangs to face from place to place/ And it ain't no way in the world you can go that's safe, you might as well stack your plate/ If you get down how you live, you all right with me, but if you fake and tellin' lies, nigga, you ain't tight with me/ And only hungry niggas eat, they don't rob and steal, and only phony niggas cheat, ain't got no time to build/ What's really real in the field?/ Oh, you a man 'cause you kill?/ But, nigga, you will squeal on your partner 'cause you can't peace be still/ If my gas tank empty, I'ma fuel the bitch up, and if my forty bottle full, guess what?/ I'ma drink the bitch up/ I'm in the cut with some niggas that ain't scared of shit, and since our struggle all the same, we takin' care of some shit/ We thugs and playas and shit/ Oh, Lay and Ken, we on some real ish, y'all niggas don't know show business, yall niggas better get some business, feel me
-Chorus-
-Layzie Bone-
And as the rain drops keep fallin' on my window pane, I just keep blazin' up my indo/ Remain the same nigga that's established, and I'm out here to get this cabbage, I gots to have it, nigga been chasin' them mathmatics/ How did Stack get in a position where he's facin' so much time?/ Did he wanna commit that crime, I really don't think so/ But it's only time, and I'ma be here when you get home, put that on the Bone/ Whatever it was, whatever it be, I'ma always stay strong for ya/ I'ma always stay strong, soldier
