Some of the lyrics are wrong but being the last song on 40 Dayz & 40 Nightz... this is easily the best song (especially lyrically) on the album. I think the most important lesson in this song was how at the end Xzibit expresses what he learned from deciding to following his older brother. When his older brother paid the ultimate price for living the way he did, Xzibit didn't think that the repercussions would happen to him, but it did in two ways. For one, he was put in jail but not sentenced as harshly as his older brother and secondly, seeing that his younger brother who was never really interested in being like his older brothers early on, eventually started heading in that direction. He realized that his little brother was looking up to him all along and if Xzibit valued himself better, his little brother wouldn't have grew from someone who was likely focused on the right things instead of becoming another recycled assassin that's focused on more dangerous aspects of life that could get him killed. With that being said, I think it's one of the saddest rap songs I've ever heard and you will only be able to find similar Xzibit songs of this style & quality on his previous/debut album "At The Speed Of Life."
