Can't Shake It

Another piece that I wrote, about me
 Being stuck in my ways, yeah
 And I can't give up what I'm in love with
 I guess I'm a mess and I just can't shake it
 I just can't change what I am
 What it I do to be so wrong?
 Could it be so different?
 Is there a remedy?
 Will you be forgivin' me?
 Cause this ain't, my life, or the way it was 'sposed to be
 I'm waitin' here for you to come and tell me
 What I do so wrong?
 Listen to me, this talent was given to me
 By his omnipotence so dig it music is livin' through me
 Even through prisons I've arisen he big and is in movies
 Ism if is is a hit, the vision is in beauty for women
 When I'm writin' I'm winnin', so excitin' I'm grinnin'
 Then you strike an now the fights are beginnin'
 I gotta be sharp as a knife when I'm on the mic an you sinnin'
 By stiflin' my spinnin' what imaginary life has you been in
 By thinkin' you be the reason, no speakin' to you this evenin'
 I'm deep in this music reachin' for the piEce I dilute the season
 But you be illin' cause my attention you truly stealin'
 Pursue the millions, come in second-would you be willin'?
 Don't think so, you be thinkin' time an I think dough
 Love is what you need from me but in time it'll shrink mo
 Cause I be on the grind for this rhyme an the ink flow
 I go for mine an you think its a crime an I think "whoa"
 An I can't give up what I'm in love with
 But I guess I'm a mess an I just can't shake it
 I just can't change what I am
 An I can't give up what I'm in love with
 But I guess I'm a mess an I just can't shake it
 I just can't change what I am
 Everything in my closet is black, white an red
 Most of my homies was bosses but got life or dead
 Now I move in they shadows but I got the mic an bread
 But this life it seem ya destiny is a knife or lead
 Yes I was brought up in a Cristian house
 But my mother marryin' a Muslim threw the Christian out
 An what they did to Malcom X threw the Islam out
 So my homies with money seemed to be the glistenin' route
 What I found was funerals and I found it was real friends
 But I paid attention and then I found that it was real men
 Takin care of their families automatically built in
 Riskin' they life in the street as long as the wheel spin
 So, what I gathered from it is simply my prerogative
 I only wish the organization was more positive
 I maintain, and continue to gain thangs
 I bust an I claim Strange but I'm reppin' that gang bang
 An I can't give up what I'm in love with
 But I guess I'm a mess an I just can't shake it
 I just can't change what I am
 An I can't give up what I'm in love with
 But I guess I'm a mess an I just can't shake it
 I just can't change what I am
 An I can't give up what I'm in love with
 But I guess I'm a mess an I just can't shake it
 I just can't change what I am
 An I can't give up what I'm in love with
 But I guess I'm a mess an I just can't shake it
 I just can't change what I am
