Testi

I said there's no such thing as a straight path
My brother got hit the other day by a straight blast
In the brain, on the train, on his way to work
A guy that spent most of his life doin' dirt
But as soon as he decides to get a 9 to 5
Why would God decide to take his life
There's no such thing as a straight path
So it's whatever with me
I walk through the minefield, whatever could hit me
My mind filled with anger, hope the angels is with me
Change could be dangerous, goin' legit could be
Signin' your death certificate, callin' it quits could be
The worst thing you do, I mean consider your enemy
He ain't gon' quit cause you quit now, is he?
Think about it
So it's on infinitely with me
I'm gone times infinity, for the tough times I pour Hennessy
In memory of the one thing that meant one thing to me
I'm on, somethin' in me wishin' I wasn't born
Come on, a gangsta say he quittin' the game
Man you lookin' at a dead man talkin'
There's always a brother, or a cousin to somebody you fought
Who might forgive but that don't happen too often
I said there's no such thing as a straight path
My brother got hit the other day by a straight blast
In the brain, on the train, on his way to work
A guy that spent most of his life doin' dirt
But as soon as he decides to get a 9 to 5
Why would God decide to take his life
There's no such thing as a straight path
I said there's no such thing as a straight path
I said there's no such thing as a straight path
When the gun burn, everything you been taught you must unlearn
With one turn of the world, one fatal stroke
I done lost all hope, now I'm goin' for broke
So my new motto is smoke me or get smoked
When you lose everything you love
It's time to grip the snub, the time for talkin' is done
Listen for what, if you got that weight on you, I'll be liftin' you up
Hope you got that 8 on you, I ain't givin' a fuck
If God love me, why I'm missin' my bruh?
Is God ugly? If y'all love me ****, wish me luck
Appetite for destruction, I'm back puffin' blunts again
Drinkin' 'gnac heavy, until I'm happy again
Although I get comfort from friends
I won't be truly happy till I see 'em again
So until that day, I'm goin' out in a blaze
Hope the world forgive me, cause I lost my way
I said there's no such thing as a straight path
My brother got hit the other day by a straight blast
In the brain, on the train, on his way to work
A guy that spent most of his life doin' dirt
But as soon as he decides to get a 9 to 5
Why would God decide to take his life
There's no such thing as a straight path
[Interlude: Lee & (Stymon)
Yo, it's your boy Lee
The craziest things happen, nahmean?
Never knew I'd lose so many people in, you know
Such a short time, you know I'm sayin'?
I'm only 25, nahmean?
Lost Ronnie when I was 15, know I'm sayin'?
Lost Low, pssh, about 14, nahmean?
Just lost Slice, just lost Stacks
Lot of stress man, right now
It's all messed up now
Yo Stymo, hold your head up
We ridin' with you
(Yeah, and to my man Low who just passed, nahmean?
All this nonsense
Goin' on in the street
It's just that life we lead, you know I'm
Sayin'?
We caught up in it man
But just when you do dirt, just know
You can never clean it up man
There's
No such thing as a straight path)
Yo, I said there's no such thing as a straight path
Unless you come, out the womb on a straight path
And if you live, where I live dog, how long can that last?
When every day of our life, we live more like a task
I said there's no such thing as a straight path
I said there's no such thing as a straight path
