Why do ya'll pour 40's on the shorties grave side?

How come the little soldiers like to get high?

coach powell....["satan 1-6-5"]

let me try to explain why



coach let me explain a lil something

i seen some shit out here man, and believe its rugged

i seen my boy smoke crack till his teeth turned dark

i seen alot of shit and i know the worlds hard

im caught in a struggle between good and evil daily

trying to understand and sometimes feel crazy

then i turn myself over to my higher power

too much to handle day by day and hour by hour

coach i know you seen the way things start to happen

it aint no joke and there aint no laughin

some people are predisposed to the sickness

they get caught up in addiction with the quickness

its like being born and already half in the grave

half in a hole already dug and tryin to escape

you just cant always tell wholl be a victim 

so try to listen or end up in prison

or end up dead or end up on the streets

i seen peeps get caught up with the addiction disease

and although at times it may seem

theres no hidden agenda, no conspriacy



no conspiracy -- its just human nature

biologial science dictates it, not the way you raised up

some take their first swig off a 40

and they may die from it while still a shorty

some might drink 1000 beers

and live a long life with nothin to fear

it cant be exactly be explained why

i just dont know, and i aint gonna lie

you might be the next in the sight of the sniper rifle

you might be the next to get caught up in the cycle

ive seen friends of mine mixed up with cocaine

and caught up with crack til they half insane

we could look back and try to figure where they went wrong

some people will say they just wasnt strong

but addiction has nothing to do with weakness

its a disease, you treat it and you try to release it

you try to live your life sober cause one false move

could put you back where you were, hangin with the wrong dudes

hangin with the wrong crew, some cant be around it

some cant live without it, its some profound shit



i dont have all the answers and it aint that easy

but its just medical science, theres no conspiracy
