I`m sick of losing family, everytime I blink my eyes
And at the rate that it`s going, fell like I need to stay inside
Cause I don`t wanna be the next nigga, to fall in a coffin
Lord knows everybody, that I love die often
Or wind up in the cage, and I don`t seem to understand
It ain`t nothing but a few of us left, I can count on my hand
If I tried to make a song, for everyone that I lost
I`d prolly have a triple c.d., in my deck when I floss
And that`s a damn shame, people entertained by pain
I think I`m only selling records, cause I`m going through it mayn
I received a phone call, from my old man today
He was going crazy, cause his older sister passed away
And in my mind, I think she looking down smiling away
But still it hurt, I`m writing this and it ain`t even been a day
At least I got to giver her a kiss, and told her I love her
Hey Christina, promise it`ll never be another damn
[Hook - 2x]
I`ma keep thugging, till the day I drop
Cause it feel like I`m losing, everything I got
On my knees asking God, is it ever gon stop
But he don`t answer me back, I hope he help me out
[Trae]
To tell the truth I`m never being happy, now-a-days
In my everyday living, will make a nigga wanna blaze
I don`t smoke, so I`m running reality head on
All the pressure and pain, coming to me is dead wrong
Only time I get to smile, is when I see my lil` boy
If he only knew I`m riding down, for my boy
I ain`t got too many friends, so I`m riding by myself
Your own kin`ll try to do you, when on a mission for wealth
I was told, every person get a day of they own
I guess they skipped over mine, I been in line for too long
Why they won`t leave me alone, I just wanna have a life
I`m sick of living in the dark, tripping searching for the light
I`m a soldier so I fight, till I`m running out of breath
And I ain`t running from the devil, it`s war until the death
Dear Lord help me out, I think you missing all my calls
My back against the wall, and I ain`t got no time to fall at all
[Hook - 2x]
[Trae]
It ain`t no mo` telling me, that it`s gonna be ok
I watched the judge, try to throw my roll dog life away
It`s safe to say, any day I`ma be checking in
With everything that I`m facing, they gotta let me in
I only rap about the struggle, cause it`s all that I know
I`m assuming people hate me, because it`s all that they show
I never asked to be a rapper, I was stuck with it
And fuck this shit, cause I don`t fell I`m having luck with it
And it seem like I`m really tripping, sometimes
And I really want, is the Lord to show me a sign
Cause everything been rough, when it`s coming to me and mine
Since it`s raining everyday, I`ll be praying the sun`ll shine
But it don`t, and on the real I don`t feel that it will
I`m the last one left, until I end up getting killed
I wanna turn away, but still I know that it`s real
And deep inside I pray, that the Lord`ll be my shield, my pain is for real
[Hook - 4x]
