I Got My Hat Tilted Sideways and My Brand New Shoes...
I said there's no such thing as a straight path
My brother got hit the other day by a stray blast
On the train, in the brain, on his way to work
A guy that spent most of his life doin' dirt
But as soon as he decides to get a 9-to-5
Why would God decide to take his life
There's no such thing as a straight path
So it's whatever wit me
I walk through the mindfield, whatever can hit me
My mind filled wit anger hope the angels is wit me
Change can be dangerous, goin' legit
Can be signin' your death certificate
Callin' it quits could be the worst thing you do
I mean, consider your enemy
He ain't gon quit 'cuz you quit now is he
Think about it
So it's on infinitely with me
I'm gone times infinity
For the tough times I pour Hennessy
In memory of the one thing that meant one thing to me
I mourn, somethin' in me wishin' I wasnt born
C'mon, a gangsta say he quittin' the game
You lookin' at a dead man talkin'
There's always a brother or cousin to somebody you fought
Who might forget, but that don't happen too often

That isn't in the obvious literal sense, and I bet I get 0 replies understanding what I meant by it. I'm killin' these metaphors.
