[01:24.79] "More money, more problems" -- well the fame was worse (uh-huh)
[01:26.67] I reached out for love and what came back was thirst (WHAT?)
[01:29.15] Blessed with the curse (uh) niggaz don't hear me
[01:31.64] Niggaz don't hear me, Y'ALL NIGGAZ, don't hear me (uh)

[02:20.03] In other words if I listen and, use the light (uh-huh)
[02:22.28] Then what I say will remain here, after I'm gone
