When I was lost I thought that drugs would help my mentality by numbing And man I thought the gang would be my family big money But that shits fake nothing but snakes 2 face they're always fronting I've got demons from my past that I am constantly confronting Only dark clouds it's never sunny Gotta Stand tall there ain't no running Be quick and cold fast witted cunning In war we're soldiers always gunning Hear all the restless voices humming Look at the man that I'm becoming Finally standing up for something But I know one day Ill be nothing   Now you got two to try to survive Beat down by gang come at me all five vision goes red see strength in my eyes My knuckles they bled I'm barely alive Fists to the dome they never do stop tryna keep swinging heart says drop now you hear sirens see lights it's cops you gotta get up before you get popped You're in the crew chain of command Sergeant says do it you follow demands Better not fuck up or misunderstand Just follow instructions according to plan pick up a package deliver some dope ain't got no straps just hand em the smoke You better not fuck up you better not choke you and Your brotha just make it back home You know you ain't from this side of town Driving slow just looking around Pull up on the spot it's boutta go down look at your brotha your heart it just pounds Go in the house hand em the package grabbin a glock you thought they was lackin One grabs a tommy caught you slacking Get out so fast you aint see what happen My brothas body ain't never been found Tied up his ankles and wrists he was bound Shot in the chest they're knocking him down choking on blood sorrows they drowned Life left his eyes voice not a sound Careful of those who you surround stuck on earth he won't never be crowned His body is buried 6 feet in the ground you tell homie it happened so fast says all that matters you ain't got the cash You gotta get out before you get snatched leaving the city you're doin the dash rest of your life you're watching your back any time they might pull up and attack Now you got a shawty you gotta protect know if they catch you they're taking your neck But that's just the code gotta put you in check You wanted a life now your life's just a wreck
