As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
New York to Cali, for the money, power, respect
It's a journey, some will get left behind
'Cause in life, you cannot press rewind

Get it right, you only have one first chance
To make one first impression that lasts a lifetime
Reputation supersede itself
Do you believe in [bad word]  Babylon greed for wealth

Do you deceive yourself and let your ego swell?
And disregard those who most need your help
Thick skin, the dark won't take my soul
Survive spiritual wars, see my welts

And the evil's felt but the faith is stronger
I saw grown men fall when I was a youngster
But I clench my fists, ready to go against whoever
Tie my timbs and rise in the end

When the Armageddon's dark and dread
lot of weak hearted weep and moan
Only the strong will continue, do you have it in [bad word]  we've got a journey to go

And when the battle get sour and tread
lot of weak hearted wither and moan
Only the strong will continue, I know you have it in you
I know you have it in you

No man live forever but never say never
Every good he want better, must be a go getter
And always be clever in every endeavor
Now drastic time call for drastic measure

Your girl try to pleasure from your neighbors, things sever
The land and the treasure, work for whatever
Jah said don't be a beggar, the Alpha Omega
Will bless every soul no matter which name you prefer

The immortal stepper, believe in every skin
No matter which color they are
We never let we don't know here which kind of weather
You're destined to rise like the son of Rebbecca
Don't stop for a second

Everyone reckon, it sure would be good to be there
Whether Zion or Mecca
When the gates are finally closed
And the saints go marchin' in

When the Armageddon's dark and dread
lot of weak hearted weep and moan
Only the strong will continue, do you have it in [bad word]  we've got a journey to go

And when the battle get sour and dread
lot of weak hearted wither and moan
Only the strong will continue, I know you have it in you
I know you have it in you

I'm a street lifer, always harassed by the C-ciphers
Chief-like, Geronimo with his peace pipe
I emerged from the street life
This for the homies who relate, know what it be like

My QB life
Taken and turned to the Louie XIII light
Twisted and mangled sorta like [bad word] Lee life
Cursed with his son Brandon if that's you and me knight
I pray our fate's greater

I speak like I still matter as a rapper, not doubtin'
Even Toni Braxton signed a deal with Craig Kallman
How in, the [bad word] am I supposed to [bad word] 
When I pay child support, alimony, monthly?

Got Maserati's and Ferrari's
Only like a woman whose a rider but only hoes want me
Single life crazy, niggas wives on me
I say stay faithful, they say their man corny

So I'm stuck with some married woman, so fine
Cheatin' while their [bad word]  on the 40 yard line
Wonder if this is what my ex did the whole time
Good niggas seem to always end up with some hard times, hope not

If a pimp slippin' in a hoe plot, ain't nothin' to it In a two-tone drop, kid
And it don't stop, see a [bad word] disappearin'
With the baddest honey's in the whole spot, yeah
