white [02:45.92]Or to get booed when you on the mic just because [02:48.29]Your skin is light [02:49.14]It ain't right but sometimes you know that's life [02:51.16]But really tell me what you do [02:53.16]You just push on with hopes on [02:54.62]That someday you'll put on your crew [02:56.12]I hope you understand that I ain't even dissin' you [02:58.75]And even though its a song you'll [03:00.38]Probably never listen to [03:01.44]See what I send to you is this [03:03.57]Is that a life without Christ is just a life that is never fixed [03:06.68]Hope you remember this now a few sentences [03:08.23] [03:08.98]About a living God who loves you and plus forgives [03:11.89]And I'll be praying for your ex-wife and plus your kid [03:14.27]It's hard to live in a world as crazy as

couple hundred [03:24.59]There's more to life then selling records [03:26.09]And just getting blunted [03:26.88] [03:27.49]But anyway that's really all I gots to say [03:29.72]Just another word from
