If you look death eye to eye and wake up

Some of us ain't fortunate to make it back when tragedy strikes

You know

So sometimes you gotta take that shit and run with it

Thirteen when I started, cold hearted and curious

To the streets, gotta eat with every part of me serious

Holding guns for reasons, believing it was the thug in me

All about the love until the slugs hit me

Don't wanna die, so I open my eyes

Choking on air, gasping and I hope I'm alive

Chalk my sneakers, shit even chalk my hat

Is this the path to the pearly gates I'm walking back?

Why it had to be me Lord when they sprayed this bitch?

I ain't ask for this life, I was gave this shit

Is it wrong packing my heat when I ain't raise this shit?

I'm tired, on my tombstone engrave this shit

We all gotta eat, I die if you take this from me

I'm hungry, so I ride tryna make this money

If that's a sin, then fuck it I'ma die with stripes

But touch me Lord and keep me in your eyes at night

Calling my kids, they don't walk back to me

Talk to my dogs and they don't talk back to me

Try to hug my moms and she walk right through me

Damn I think I'm dead y'all, I might be dead y'all

Calling my kids, they don't walk back to me

Talk to my dogs and they don't talk back to me

Try to hug my moms and she's walking right through me

Damn I think I'm dead y'all, I might be dead y'all

I wake up in the hospital, codeined out

IV's in my veins like I'm coke fiend out

I'm outside of my body, I see myself

But I can't talk to nobody or be myself

I feel nothing but tears from my mother's cheek

Dropping on my arm when she tell my little brother I'm sleep

I try to feel her and touch her but it's just not real

Will it surprise my pops when they say I just got killed?

Shed some light on me Lord, let it ease the pain

Put something in my heart and let me breathe again

'Cause it's just a little tiny kid who needs Hussein

And I ain't playing no more, I don't need the game

It's time to pull your pants up, fight the war of life

You got a lost soul ****, then give yours to Christ

'Cause I'ma take mine when I wake and do it surely right

Give me my soul back please, let me enjoy my life

Calling my kids, they don't walk back to me

Talk to my dogs and they don't talk back to me

Try to hug my moms and she walk right through me

Damn I think I'm dead y'all, I might be dead y'all

Calling my kids, they don't walk back to me

Talk to my dogs and they don't talk back to me

Try to hug my moms and she's walking right through me

Damn I think I'm dead y'all, I might be dead y'all

These bastards done hit me off, I'm in a casket

They just did surgery, I'm watching how they murder me

My little brother think I'ma pull through

And grandma I know you know it ain't no way I could pull you

My daughter got no fears, now she can see me clear

Tryna touch me, her mother think she fucking with the chairs

Just when you look back it was a memory

I don't want y'all to mourn no more shit, just remember me

I'm putting it down hard, legal or illegally

**** gotta get his chips, either way you reading me

Uh, caught up with me, hit me

Praying to God so the demons won't come and get me

Fold my arms, I don't love this life

It ain't no slipping when you thug for life

I can't cry now

Fold my arms, I don't love this life

It ain't no slipping when you thug for life

Calling my kids, they don't walk back to me

Talk to my dogs and they don't talk back to me

Try to hug my moms and she's walking right through me

Damn I think I'm dead y'all, I might be dead y'all

Calling my kids, they don't walk back to me

Talk to my dogs and they don't talk back to me

Try to hug my moms and she's walking right through me

Damn I think I'm dead y'all, I might be dead y'all
