[00:20.76]Spittin' verses, I'm desperate,
[00:22.71]I need a mansion and a coupe
[00:24.03]You done signed over your life
[00:25.30]And now you slavin' in the booth
[00:26.72]Now we hang ourself with chains,
[00:28.14]They used to make us rock a noose
[00:29.49]Shorties hoppin' off the porch
[00:30.71]'Cause it ain't s**t else to do
[00:32.19]Nothin' but trouble in the hood,
[00:33.54]Normal sentence for the youth
[00:35.00]You a king, you not a gangster,
[00:36.43]I'm just tellin' you the truth
[00:37.79]Please just take my word,
[00:38.88]'Cause they done scrambled all the proof
[00:40.76]His big bro ain't tryna warn him,
[00:42.16]He just taught him how to shoot
[00:43.52]Out there warrin' with each other,
[00:44.82]Will there ever be a truce?
[00:46.12]Why the **** we into it?
[00:47.33]I'm going through oppression too
[00:49.03]Feel death in the air,
[00:50.24]It's like a nightmare, this s**t is scary
[00:52.21]Riding for gang, now your casket is gettin' carried
[00:54.87]Mama break down, you gettin' put in that cemetery
[00:57.47]S**t ****** up my mental, seen too many obituaries
[01:00.17]These bodies keep dropping,
[01:01.50]Summer cold like it's January
[01:02.88]When you die, they gon' praise you,
[01:04.36]Now they see that you legendary
[01:05.85]Just another cold case, look what they did to Kenneka
[01:08.39]Hear them screams after that chopper sing like Aretha
[01:11.21]Homicide puddles, I got blood stains on my sneakers
[01:14.08]Out here playing life or death,
[01:15.45]Tryna run from the reaper
[01:16.88]S**t been ****** up at the crib,
[01:18.17]Lashin' out on the teacher
[01:19.63]Grandma taking me to church,
[01:21.02]I fell asleep on that preacher
[01:22.36]Chains, clothes, hit the block, hard-headed and eager
[01:25.25]We just tryna stay afloat but this s**t gettin' deeper
[01:28.01]I'm just tryna talk to you
[01:29.27]And tell my life through these speakers
[01:30.88]Yeah, I conquered them struggles,
[01:32.29]I just had to stay focused
[01:33.61]Told myself that I'm the greatest,
[01:35.00]I won't wait 'til they notice
[01:36.48]Wouldn't nobody help me up when I was down at my lowest
[01:39.15]I'm the only one believe when everybody was hopeless
[01:42.00]I done got so used to funerals, can't show no emotion
[01:44.88]Man, this lifestyle crazy,
[01:46.05]Swear this s**t get atrocious
[01:47.59]Like one minute on that block,
[01:48.90]You just laughing and joking
[01:50.46]Now your mans shot up on that ground,
[01:52.27]Gasping and choking
[01:53.25]In them streets deep, we was mobbin',
[01:54.61]Went from innocent to goblins
[01:56.07]Had to take, we started robbin',
[01:57.50]Catchin' white folks while they joggin
[01:58.99]Battle scars, we hate the rain,
[02:00.31]Bullet wounds steady throbbin'
[02:01.73]Fiends lookin' like zombies,
[02:03.00]Half-dead, they just noddin'
[02:04.58]That peer pressure comin' at you
[02:06.12]And it's too hard to dodge it
[02:07.29]Got dreams to make the league,
[02:08.51]Late night plans, might sabotage it
[02:09.83]My homie made the news, he 'posed to be on ESPN
[02:12.54]Came and left the same day, RIP to the twins
[02:15.44]Doctor said he could make it but his chances was thin
[02:18.19]My homie just came home, did three in the pen'
[02:20.95]Back in them streets few weeks later,
[02:22.31]Now he locked up again
[02:23.74]I wonder one day will we wake up? Is the cycle gon' end?
[02:29.04]I wonder one day will we wake up? Is the cycle gon' end?
