im tryina climb a stairways to heaven like led zeppelin/
find dat polished treasure like eddie laverde/
i do my dirt so my kids see heaven on earth/
but the pain on my heart weighs heavy it hurt/
hope u see my good intentions for wuteva its worth/
no self convictions when i mention my intentions in verse/
like a preacher or a deacon when he speakin in church/
know its a lesson dat im teachin if u seekin my verse/
like the shocker the hour be a greivous thing/
like the droppin of them towers man its plain to see/
that them cowards cant sing a song datll lead us in/?
theyd rather march and hold hands like MLK/
the nigga in me like malcolm little said 'all means necessary'/
so by all means i'm armed and my weapons ready/
i got my lessons ready/
hopin i learned em before i'm laid to rest and buried/
have mercy on me.

pressure bust pipes/
pressure can also make a diamond/
pressure can bust a man wrestlin wit his conscience/
his self accusin spirit of his past/
(but our lord knows mercy is greater than his wrath)
so in that, i not only pray for me, i pray for he. my dead brother robert/
help him wit his problems/
and the bumps and grinds/
and the evil things and thoughts that run through his mind/
take a hand on my sister j blige/
as i listen to her life go down watchin her life spin round/
on them records/
every track she sing in prayer/
give her no drama let her rainy days be clear/
receivin signs from osama that the days is near/
when babies is baby mommas man them days is here/
it means that them days is now/
i pray that the lord have mercy when my day come round/
