[00:11.00]He just wanna be recognized by the OGs
[00:13.87]And spray paint in the alleyway while he smokes *************
[00:16.62]Middle finger up like
[00:17.80]"************* the judge and the police"
[00:19.52]Runnin' through the streets late nights
[00:21.20]So we don't sleep
[00:22.42]He went to work, stashed his Glocks
[00:24.40]Said, "Look out for the cops"
[00:25.57]All he ever knew was the streets
[00:27.21]Always out on the block
[00:28.48]As he pours a little liquor for his homies to pass
[00:31.24]He starts to wonder how long it'll last
[00:33.54]He never pray to God 'cause he ain't get no answer
[00:37.22]All he feels God did was give his grandma cancer
[00:40.14]Only faith he had left was his Glock 9
[00:42.52]Hustled on the corner, tag his name on the stop sign
[00:45.36]No mercy for his enemies
[00:46.93]Agony and ecstasy
[00:48.34]The only thing that ever
[00:49.50]Made his heart warm was the Hennessy
[00:51.29]He sipped from the bottom until the last drop
[00:53.36]And he says, "Sorry mama
[00:55.21]But I just can't stop, I can't stop," look
[01:08.64]Yeah, he ran the streets stuck in one time
[01:11.51]R.I.P. tat for his homie who just died
[01:14.40]He done went to 16 funerals by 17
[01:17.45]One his 18th birthday all he needed was one 9
[01:19.99]With 20 in the clip
[01:21.34]That's how you survive in the streets he was from
[01:23.28]Only way to stay alive just tryna see 21
[01:26.08]For his homies, he'd ride for 'em
[01:27.81]His homies, he'd die for 'em
[01:29.24]Ain't scared of death
[01:30.29]'Cause he knows eventualy it'll come
[01:31.85]Flowers and candles, filled a memorial on his street
[01:35.07]In memory of his boy that got shot last week
[01:37.75]He left behind two little girls
[01:39.97]He had a family—they'd gather here
[01:41.82]Every night in hopes that God might speak
[01:43.63]The whole time he had—murder on his mind
[01:46.71]All he thought was payback and loaded up his 9 and
[01:49.88]Got with his boys, and he hopped inside the whip
[01:52.58]Went to an enemy spot
[01:53.77]And started shootin' out the ride and
[01:55.71]It's hard to say if it's wrong or right
[01:58.74]And now he's behind bars with a case to fight
[02:01.80]'Cause in the end, nobody wins
[02:04.13]No matter what situation
[02:05.51]It's never your job to take a life
[02:17.77]I had to visit you 'cause your moms
[02:20.11]Don't wanna see you this way
[02:21.71]I pray to God every night to fight your demons away
[02:23.95]I just feel like I'm losin' you, homie
[02:26.24]Can't you see what they doin'
[02:27.86]They just usin' you, man, they foolin' you, homie
[02:30.10]The streets don't love us, man, they never did
[02:32.59]Always so worried 'bout death that we can't ever live
[02:35.60]See, the streets got you brainwashed
[02:37.56]They *************' with ya head
[02:38.83]That's when he looked at me and said
[02:40.83]"I lost my only two brothers to the streets that I rep
[02:44.44]Besides, my mom is the only fam I really got left
[02:47.22]The only family I ever had
[02:49.21]They treated me like a son, I ain't have a dad
[02:52.29]See, the streets taught me loyalty, respect
[02:54.78]And how to live by a code
[02:56.05]They never taught me no different
[02:57.66]This is all that I know
[02:58.88]Even though your pops was crazy
[03:00.41]And he wasn't always there
[03:01.73]Even though he made mistakes
[03:03.21]Homie, that mother****** cares
[03:04.67]See, I can't say the same about mine, homie
[03:07.22]Really I could give two *************s if he died, homie
[03:09.99]After the way that he beat my mother
[03:11.94]He ain't never love us
[03:13.21]That mother******'s already dead in my eyes, homie"
[03:16.04]I told him, "A real man stands up on his own
[03:18.83]And doesn't need a *************' gang to have his back
[03:21.34]'Cause he's grown
[03:22.10]I know you think nobody cares
[03:23.45]But man, that ain't true
[03:24.81]Your mom's already lost two men, she can't lose you
[03:27.84]You think these cats would do the same for you?
[03:29.74]Think they'd take the blame for you?
[03:31.05]Think these mother******s would
[03:32.45]Put they family through pain for you?
[03:33.95]Where is your hood at when it's all said and done?
[03:36.47]You ain't pull a trigger
[03:37.72]When that bullet shot from that gun
[03:39.12]Takin' the blame 'cause you don't wanna snitch
[03:41.06]Dog, is you dumb?
[03:42.20]Takin' care of your moms makes you gangster
[03:44.24]Not where you from
[03:46.95]Dog, is you dumb?
[03:47.83]Takin' care of your moms makes you gangster
[03:49.96]Not where you from"
[03:51.18]He said, "It's kill or be killed, understand that *************t
[03:53.43]I got accessory to murder, dawg, they planned that *************t
[03:56.63]How dare you come visit me and act like you better
[03:59.47]Mother******, we from the same place
[04:01.28]I can't stand that *************t
[04:02.62]You always preach God
[04:03.97]But do you really believe in Him?
[04:05.53]If we all sinners, man
[04:06.88]What the ************* do we mean to Him?
[04:08.46]Either He don't exist or the Devil is beatin' Him
[04:11.25]When my grandma was down
[04:12.71]Where was God when she needed Him?
[04:14.38]You can go your own way, but this the life for me
[04:17.39]Don't call, don't visit, and don't write to me
[04:20.28]We all sin, you know better than the next man
[04:23.06]You ain't God
[04:24.15]You can't tell me what's wrong or right for me
[04:25.94]Some people meant to win, I was meant to fail
[04:29.12]Some people meant for Heaven, I was meant for Hell
[04:32.04]Some people meant to live and be free, but not me
[04:35.14]Been in this system since 7, I was meant for jail
[04:37.86]I guess nobody is perfect
[04:40.15]Tell my mama, I'm sorry
[04:41.80]But there's no way to reverse it
[04:44.24]I guess nobody is perfect
[04:46.20]Tell my mama, I'm sorry
[04:47.41]But there's no way to reverse it"
