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

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

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
