At Shetoro's Crib (a Poem) Lyrics

[SPM:]
Hey Shetoro
Umm...Play me dat lil Latin Beat
I wanna read out diz letter I wrote to my fans
In case I get killed or something
I mean [laughs] I hope dat never happens
But...damn there's so many haterz
U never know
Alright...

As I read diz letter and as u listen
I know right now I'm either dead or in prison
I'm writing these words as my daughter sleeps
Ill pray diz iz something I will never have to read
Da year is 2000 and I've signed with Universal
All da hate cant stop me, but it still hurts though
Da smoke in my blunt can only hide my pain
My security iz outside but I still sleep in da rain
Dey say dat my lyrics destroy and kill
But I'm only tryin to tell dem dat I know how dey feel
I never had both of my parents
I was three when he left and ended da marriage
Most things I rap about I no longer do
Tomorrow's church and after dat itz da zoo Diamonds and cars don't make a man happy
Ur jewels in life are ur friends and family
Da more money I make, da more problems appear
I feel my enemies closing in...getting near
Inspired by jealousy, dey wish me da worst
I've shook da hands of men dat want me stiff in a herse
But everything I do iz so dat one day
Our kids can see their own kind in a positive way
Although I'm no angel
In God I do trust
I'd like to take a second to tell u about us
Rasheed's from Philadelphia
Low G's from Honduras
I was raised with my abuela
In a place called alphurias
But we're all da same race
And dat race is player
I've held two jobs: ditch digger and brick layer
Now I see a sign as I lay in da chalk
Heaven's 7 million miles...
Lord don't make me walk
