[English]

This ain't no halo over my head bitch

But dear God can you forgive the sinnin'

For everything that I did since the beginnin'

Because the devil around me so much that you would think I got a death wish?

Yeah, and the voices in my head get louder

Watchin' my career disappear like powder

Wish I could rewind those hours and get my life back

Strike that, hanging on this weed like a life jacket

Fuck rappin', I was really livin' everything I was spittin'

Bitch what's happenin'

Fights daily, nights crazy dream chasin' till the drugs came

I was choppin' up them bitches like Jason

Had a motherfuckers face layin' on the cold pavement

Wake up take 'em now I feel sane

Spendin' every penny in the studio slayin'

Me and my mob workin' any odd job

Prayin' this little dream was gonna feed our babies

Save me Lord, save me Lord, what the fuck is this curse you gave me Lord

Everybody think I finally made it Lord, but all I am is now is a slave my God

And Revelations says,

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes and death shall be no more,

neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore for the former things have passed away."

EST 4 Life motherfucker!

Put that halo around my neck, bitch

And give me death

I'm 22 and this 22 on my left, God bless

Maybe I'll finally see

Maybe they'll return what's originally mine because finder's keep

Maybe I will be great, and this voice of mine was designed to be the finest key

But, I'm losing faith, everyday they got news to break

Like my single flopped, and now I ain't hot

And they don't know if I'm ever gonna see the light of day

My labels mad or my albums bad or you ain't livin' up to the hype we thought you had

Or I lost a fan or I'm in cuffs again and meanwhile I ain't there to be my daughter's dad

Fuck what's meant for me

Cause I don't never wanna become a celebrity

I don't never want someone to feel less than me

So put your camera down and stand next to me

Right here, EST, everyone stand together

And if I ever R.I.P then I know everything I stand for's forever
