SoulFly

Conversatin' with Mama, she say I'm in too deep (Deep)

Until my **** rich and free, it's hard to get me some sleep (Sleep, yeah)

It's hard to get me some peace with all the shit that I be battlin'

Too many ups and downs, sometimes I feel like I can't balance it

It be challengin'

So many challenges

Yeah

Our father (Our father)

It's safe to say times harder

This shit get harder

My Pops say, "Son, be smarter, you a artist and a father"

My Unc' say, "Now, be smarter, you a target and regardless

You a leader to them people, and them young **** is watching

Them young **** believe in you, don't let 'em down, be cautious"

And I got skills and other things but rich off rappin' pain

So much that came with all this fame, but I remain the same

Hope you don't think 'cause I got chains, that's what made me change

It's just this life got so strange, I had to switch lanes

**** pulled up, and I be outside

Laid in the cut like peroxide, yeah

I vowed to be frontline when shots fired

I was out of town that night when **** died, yeah

Standing in church, blurry-eyed that I had to confess

I seen my **** laid to rest in his Sunday best

Polo on his head and chest, now that's casket fresh

Wish we would've seen eye to eye before you left

And where I'm from, it's a eye for an eye, nothin' else (Nothin' else)

Ain't no love, it ain't no help, every man for theyself

Better watch your homies, keep your skrap or get scrapped to a shelf (Brra)

Ain't no complaining, when it's raining, play the hand you dealt

Ain't got no opps, just some **** who mad that I made it

And since you **** mad I made it, pick a casket, baby (Brra)

On the net exaggerating, ain't even half as gangster

It's funny, and it's fascinating how even family hate you

Wanna hit the show, but you ain't show up to my graduation

I can't take y'all to the top, I ain't no elevator

Thinkin' of my cousin, Dejah (Oh, God)

Was way in 2013 when she left, I was fifteen when she left

They say it won't be long, all I want

Is when the horn blows and when they all cry

I pray my soul flies

I pray my soul flies

Pray my soul flies

Turn into the fuckin' birds

They say it won't be long, no

All I want

Is when the horn blows and when them all cry

I pray my soul flies

I pray my soul flies

I pray my soul flies

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, mmm

I pray my soul flies, I pray my soul flies
