In the End

Diamonds and fortune
 Will it be worth it?
 Or should I stop
 And start over again?
 It's all that I'm after
 A greedy disaster
 What will be left of my soul in the end?
 We all have a choice
 Better yet
 We all have choices
 We all got voices
 And we do what we do
 I had choices in life
 I did what I wanted to
 I did it for myself
 I had to move in stealth
 'Cause where I live
 Being sentimental it is bad for your health
 It's a roll of the dice
 And you're faced with living life in a cell
 For posting up on the corner
 And proceed to make sales
 So what did I do?
 I picked up a pen and a pad
 And then I wrote everything that I had
 Whether it's happy or sad
 Whether it's stories I heard
 Or experiences I had
 I just knew that no matter the reactions
 No matter if a round of applause
 Or a mother fucking laughter
 This is what I love
 And so I'm spilling my guts
 I do it for myself
 It is passion not lust
 Diamonds and fortune
 Will it be worth it?
 Or should I stop
 And start over again?
 It's all that I'm after
 A greedy disaster
 What will be left of my soul in the end?
 It is passion not lust
 At least that's what I thought
 At least that's how it started
 But times got hard
 And it got me broken hearted
 As I grew and realized
 That it's all about the money
 It's all about the green
 Nothing has meaning
 Motherfucker is seldom seen
 'Cause he's out serving fiends
 And he's out causing havoc
 Up and down on the streets
 If there's a god in the sky
 That we meet when we die
 Then here's a letter to you, homie
 I don't know what the deal is
 Is it a bet you're fulfilling
 Or a test for your children
 But this test it is killing
 Everybody mentally
 And it's even killing me
 And once upon a time
 I had faith and I was blind
 Like a sheep I believed
 But reality is mean
 Let me tell you what I mean
 See, destruction's what I see
 And it's toxic what I breathe
 And now the life that I lead
 Is a life full of greed
 'Cause money's what I need
 And if to you this only means
 That I deserve to be punished
 Then, father go ahead
 Punish me at will
 I am only your reflection
 Imperfection
 What's the lesson
 Is it prison
 Do you listen
 When I pray?
 Do you listen when we pray?
 Write me back when you can
 Until then I will play the cards in hand
 I just hope you understand
 I just hope you understand
 Diamonds and fortune
 Will it be worth it?
 Or should I stop
 And start over again?
 It's all that I'm after
 A greedy disaster
 What will be left of my soul in the end?
 Diamonds and fortune
 What will be left of my soul in the end?
