Close to the Grave

You know death right 'round the corner

And prison my next door neighbor

Feel like I'm dying to live

I know we live to die

But I feel like I'm dying to live

I be clutchin' on my fire, you never know these days

Gambling with your life, you gettin' close to the grave

Sorry Lord, the devil got ahold of me lately

Knew I shouldn't have never let you get close to me, baby

Clutchin' on my fire, you never know these days

Gambling with your life, you gettin' close to the grave

Sorry Lord, the devil got ahold of me lately

Knew I shouldn't have never let you get close to me, baby

I knew I shouldn't have never showed you

That I loved you, my ****

I fucked up when I showed you

That I trust you, my ****

I tried to turn my life around

But now, I'm back in the field

You know it's "Free my **** Cool!"

I hope he win the appeal

I lost my ****, it ain't been the same

Everybody say that I changed

Say I ain't been the same

They don't even know I'm feeling pain

They don't know how I feel inside

Traumatized, criminalized, but yet, I'm idolized

I swear to God, sometimes I wonder why

They got me brainwashed, lil' ones off the same block

Remember I had to sling rock

Remember I let them things pop

Damn, I just wanna raise my son

Wish it could have been how it was

Sometimes, I wanna grab my gun

Sometimes, I don't be wantin' to hear nothin'

I be clutchin' on my fire, you never know these days

Gambling with your life, you gettin' close to the grave

Sorry Lord, the devil got ahold of me lately

Knew I shouldn't have never let you get close to me, baby

Clutchin' on my fire, you never know these days

Gambling with your life, you gettin' close to the grave

Sorry Lord, the devil got ahold of me lately

Knew I shouldn't have never let you get close to me, baby

My boy got shot, you put the blame on me

You say you know I did it

I can't even act like it ain't phase me

That shit hurt my feelings

My cousin got hit up

Say he saw me jump out with the Glizzy

Why you had told them people you made me?

Boy, you know you didn't

I hit that lick in Maryland

I bought my mom a Honda Civic

The hardest thing I had to do in life is leave you

I was showing you love

It had you feeling like I need you

I'm drinking this alcohol right now, I wanna see you

You made me go hard in this shit, I'm motivated

Why you had gave up on the kid when I was jaded?

Now I've been drinkin', gettin' faded

Thinkin' 'bout how you played me

Thinkin' 'bout how you did me

I be clutchin' on my fire, you never know these days

Gambling with your life, you gettin' close to the grave

Sorry Lord, the devil got ahold of me lately

Knew I shouldn't have never let you get close to me, baby

Clutchin' on my fire, you never know these days

Gambling with your life, you gettin' close to the grave

Sorry Lord, the devil got ahold of me lately

Knew I shouldn't have never let you get close to me, baby
