Analysis of Back By Force
Back By Force
living on the edge and it's going to my head
sitting up at night all alone in bed
Following the rainbow to the sky
I see a vision of you pass me by
Got breaks in my mind
to much heaven robbed me blind
came from the crafted elegance of his design
freaks in the street but there ringing the bell
one foot in heaven while the others in hell
now I got a great story to tell
you G in the hood looking for no good
caught up in harms way looking for a score
robs the nearest hommie down at the local store
yet looking for a better day a reason to retire
blown up in its fullest desire
got boogy in his socks way down to his toes
rolling a fat blunt smoking it down as the story goes
got music in my head yet I'm no Judge Dread
A hustler is a beggar looking for his latest score
shaking up with the latest whore while she screams more more
it's in the in tuned harmony to the hidden beasts menagerie
falling straight down & feeling the pain
not having that bitch in his arms is driving him insane
now I'm back by force in the Summer's game
Fat paycheck & I can't complain
just hit the tempo beat one last time
Got a rage in the cage on this one last line
man I'm feeling the heat but Satan robbed me blind
Still i'll look up as Tupac had shared
give props to my higher power cause I know he cared
