The light was green, but I still waited
I gave 'em love, and they still hated
I put 'em on, and they still traded
We beat the odds, and we all made it
The only dreams we ever had was run them bands up
My lil brother caught a ten, he gotta man up
Seen him layin' in the casket, I can't stand up
I do 'em, honey, its the life and what I stand for
Free my dawg, dawg free, can't wait to say it backwards
When the opp dropped, ain't nothin' but hand claps and laughter
He throw it up because he blood, he a Redskin
Before thе streetlights come on, you better hеad in
Shoulda known he was a snake, I seen him shed skin
They took my nigga life, he died on the dead end
You said you loved me, I believed you, and I fed in
To numb the pain, I pop these percs, and put the meds in
The light was green, but I still waited
I gave 'em love, and they still hated
I put 'em on, and they still traded
We beat the odds, and we all made it
From all these permanent scars- This for all my dead homies
Speak on them'll get you killed 'bout what you said, homie
He from the streets, guess thats why they left him dead on 'em
Blood in my eyes, I swear, all I see is red, homie
From all these permanent scars
Permanent scars, permanent scars
From all these permanent scars
Permanent scars, permanent scars
Dead body hit the pavement, ain't nobody care
But I bet they recordin' and its the grand share
That shit kinda scary
Body on me way on top, I swear I'm so prepared
I swear I'm so aware, yeah
Ain't nothin' gangster 'bout dyin', I promise
I done seen niggas partner take money out they pocket (For real)
He wasn't even dead yet, and its sad, 'cause he watched him
Its ya man, its ya partner, I got mad but didn't stop him
Got so many dead homies I gotta live for
If I don't, who gon' pay all their mama's bills for 'em?
If I don't, who gon' take care of all their kids for 'em?
I ain't Superman, but I gotta be there for 'em
From all these permanent scars- This for all my dead homies
Speak on them'll get you killed 'bout what you said, homie
He from the streets, guess thats why they left him dead on 'em
Blood in my eyes, I swear, all I see is red, homie
From all these permanent scars
Permanent scars, permanent scars
From all these permanent scars
Permanent scars, permanent scars
I done shot a couple people, no names
Got a suspended license, still gon' ride for my people
Real right, I got stripes, I ain't talkin' no zebra
Lost my brother to the streets, I'm havin' smoke with the Reaper
The shit I been through, can't believe I ain't got no scars
Niggas pop up then they don't want no parts
Yeah, you said that you my brother, you said you fuck with me
I don't trust him, I got [?
] Up in the club with me, you don't fuck with me
I got a couple knives in my bag, so I just might act a lil funny
Got a lot of ice, can't let 'em take nothin' from me
Whole lotta scars, can't believe I made it this far
From all these permanent scars- This for all my dead homies
Speak on them'll get you killed 'bout what you said, homie
He from the streets, guess thats why they left him dead on 'em
Blood in my eyes, I swear, all I see is red, homie
From all these permanent scars
Permanent scars, permanent scars
From all these permanent scars
Permanent scars, permanent scars
