Wiz - An'Gels

[Verse 1 - Wiz]
Since birth I been beaten, torn up, spit at, ridiculed
Some say it's cause I was black, those thoughts are fools
My only tools, not guns and drugs, but love and hugs
I've been through depression, but never been a thug
Entered the world in '92, heart of A-T-L
Where gunshots go off every night, and coke would sell
Couldn't strive there, gentrification was a success
Learned to suck less, so when I get older I would be the best
Life growing up was a challenge
I couldn't get what I wanted, but I still did no damage
To myself and others, sought to please my mother
She worked hard for me, and my sisters and brothers
My father guided me, away from the darkness
Outside my doors was the life that is the hardest
I had it easy, no pain and no struggles
I was blind to the world that was infested with d'evils

[Hook - Wiz]
While we're still alive...
Let us fight not hide...

Take the hood off ya head
And show your pride

Let us fly with An'Gels, (Angels)
Fly with An'Gels, An'Gels, An'Gels (Angels)


[Verse 2 - Wiz]
I had an angel on my shoulder, otherwise I'd be dead
Or in jail or in hell, or somewhere hidin' from the feds
I thank the Lord my soul to keep, that I have not been consumed
By the sinful world, it's a pleasing disguise, an evil perfume
My father always told me not to hang with negative people
I guess that's why I fly solo, only hanging by the steeple
Life is lethal, it's all about the choices you make
The risks you take, the promise you don't break
These streets have rage, you fuck wit 'em, you'll die
The hood has no identity, yours they'll steal and connive
I pray I make it out alive, even when it seems good it's not
Niggas offer me drugs, gang affils, and fights in the lot
So instead of cockin' guns I carry my word
I speak to God on my problems, to some it might sound absurd
Cause niggas bleed just like me, cry just like me
And are gonna have to answer to the Lord, just like me
So while I'm in the hood, while I'm on this Earth
While times go good or bad, for better or worse
I'm gonna take it for all it's worth, cause life is our gift, and our curse.
