And we have trusted these people
Who say that they love us
And say that they're here for us
In names of the state
And the government
And democracy
And presidency
Congress
Senate
Everything else
We have trusted them too much
They're sickening us
They're destroying our world
And they're destroying the future
Uh
(Now can I?)
Uh
(Now can I?)
Now can I live?
A nigga been paying his dues with interest
Just so I can get that one chance to make you feel this
Long days and cold nights
Walking with no strife
Been like this my whole life
Smoking flavors of the gas
Got my ass on my own flight
Still watch for them po-lice
They ain't giving no strikes (Yeah) just lead (Just lead)
To think I'll save the world?
I must be out my head (Out my head)
But to let all this shit slide?
I'd rather be dead
Say fuck it instead
(Fuck it instead)
You live and you learn
(You live and you learn)
"But it's like Hell where I'm at?"
"Man we live and we burn"
Buss a lick, feed your fam
You're living for sure
But karma's real and bullets too
You gone get what you earned
I can't trip on none these niggas
We different bruh
All this time a nigga got
Isn't given fasho
I'm reading more
Just to keep my mind sane
Cause I promise you
This life be playing mind games
Smoke another J
Make another play
Buddy on the sideline hating on the game
Watch out for the streets
Gotta weed out all the fakes
You don't understand because you ain't felt my pain
This for all my homies
Niggas
Gangstas
Players
Out all day and night tryna make another way
Practice what you preach, nigga do what you say
You don't understand
Because you ain't felt my pain
Nigga all I know is this
All this waiting gotta pay off
Time and time again
Y'all keep on letting people fake y'all
I don't know bout you
But I know no one around me play soft
We just keep it cordial
Still them dudes who'll let them thangs off
Only time they feel my pain is thru recordings
Swear that I'm the only nigga tryna push it forward
I'm talking the life
I'm talking the game
Ain't nothing new
But ain't nothing change
I can't stay the same
I'd just go insane
Go out like Cobain
And end it the same (Bloaw)
Too many fakes and phony's out here
I wish they would stay in they lane
Too many bodies still left on the street
I wish we could see a new day
I ask the lord to here my prayers
But I done said all I could say
I'm trying to let go
But it's hard when you leading a way
My brother say he feel alone
I tell him that we feel the same
Whether he or not
I promise that we feel his pain
Check all the rats that's coming your way
He said that he real but he could be fake
Stay close with the bros and count up the change
I promise this life is a game
Smoke another J
Make another play
Buddy on the sideline hating on the game
Watch out for the streets
Gotta weed out all the fakes
You don't understand because you ain't felt my pain
This for all my homies
Niggas
Gangstas
Players
Out all day and night tryna make another way
Practice what you preach, nigga do what you say
You don't understand
Because you ain't felt my pain
