歌词
As I strut through the night, visions of homies deceased
Release my anger from the chamber, no more searchin' for peace
I live a lifestyle, they'll say my label unable to be forgiven
But fuck 'em homie, I love how I'm livin'
I'm just a follow in the midst of these
Streets, attackin' rivals with tactics
To leave 'em cropped as we pick the rise of defeat
In this warpath, where there's no mercy or love
Raisin' these days of realistic killers who lettin' loose slugs
Trapped in this life, we still gyalkin'
It, fuck these haters knockin' it
I make you pursue on what I'm doin', ain't no stoppin' it
Slidin' through this town, recognize it's killers down
I was locked up for a minute, but released to be out bound
Still I pound through these scenes of fiends and shattered dreams
Still steppin' in hard direction, acceptin' what life brings
Is there any hope, God, for Little Wood to succeed?
'Cause right now it seems I'm stuck, fuck fightin' enemies
Sinnin' on a daily basis, I'm lookin' for a change
But my heart tells me "keep ridin'", so I stay locked in the game
Sealed doors, cuffed hands, in my life that's where I stand
I've been livin' it for years, no more tears, no more fears
Will the day I'm chasin' wind feel I gotta fight to win?
Tryna shake the fakin' feel, the real divide my foes and friends
In this journey I'm makin', penitentiary risks I'm takin'
Gotta shake the thoughts of distress, so I'm constantly drinkin'
Few could live how we live 'cause all we felt was pain
Had a roof over our head but still felt the rain
Tryin' hard to maintain and keep on movin'
We ain't choose this life, we was raised into it
Few could live how we live 'cause all we felt was pain
Had a roof over our head but still felt the rain
Tryin' hard to maintain and keep on movin'
We ain't choose this life, we was raised into it
It's been a long distance, and I've been witness to many
Bendin' these corners with Northerners
Swervin' blocks, windows tinted
Grippin' liquor to flip in my mentality while I sipper
Ease the pain that I'm feelin' while I'm killin' my violent temper
Viewin' homies doin' time in the system was not my callin'
But I guess it rubbed off my cost that was placed upon it
Doin' systematic sentences, pushin' through my deliverance
I'm never to fail but excel through my life line existence
Stand above many, serve plenty, enemies steppin'
I let the fact of the matter rattle, we leak northern empire
Wreckin' shop, yawk, life never been other than rider
Night life, street life got me focused on survival
In it to win it, so I step forward precision of greed
Steppin' with weapons and lessons to complete a path I lead
These 50's want me like these casualties haunt me
But it ain't nothin', we still grippin'
Life through these streets thuggin'
Few could live how we live 'cause all we felt was pain
Had a roof over our head but still felt the rain
Tryin' hard to maintain and keep on movin'
We ain't choose this life, we was raised into it
Few could live how we live 'cause all we felt was pain
Had a roof over our head but still felt the rain
Tryin' hard to maintain and keep on movin'
We ain't choose this life, we was raised into it
This life's got me trippin', reminiscin' it's a warzone
Grippin' on my pistol 'cause the homies gettin' dumped on
Dippin' through the cuts strapped up was the outcome
Mama lookin' at me like "what has my son become?"
Ridin' on these hoes has given me the opportunity
To gather up my loved ones and bring back the mighty E and E
Hard times wasn't shit because I had a hard life
Fuckin' with rivals, makin' the news for gang fights
Statistics say we won't make it past twenty-five
But look at the OG's livin' strong with pride
Fuck a fight, bust guns, it's 2005
If you don't like how I feel, you better hold it inside
Open your mouth boy, hollows gon' rip through your clothes
Have you clutchin' on your stomach 'cause your insides exposed
It's a cold game mane, so I stay with my heat
Dumpin' on motherfuckers, makin' suckers retreat
We gotta eat, so all my **** live like whores
Sap it out young ****, mayne, grow some balls
How many homies into the game and get they young life ruined?
How many suckers gangbang, don't even know what they doin'?
Half of these **** in this rap game be so fake
See-through like a body that got hit with a K
I do what I do homie and I did what I did
It's a struggle in this game and only strong should live
Few could live how we live 'cause all we felt was pain
Had a roof over our head but still felt the rain
Tryin' hard to maintain and keep on movin'
We ain't choose this life, we was raised into it
Few could live how we live 'cause all we felt was pain
Had a roof over our head but still felt the rain
Tryin' hard to maintain and keep on movin'
We ain't choose this life, we was raised into it
For years we struggled, so many homies has died
As an adolescent mama poppin' anti-depressants
No way to end it, too deep in it to quit it until we finish
I'll be clinchin', bendin' corners, givin' honor to soldiers
The dirty water's gettin' colder, feel it gettin' closer to closure
Gettin' older, paranoid of rollers runnin' with warrants
Keep it noted, I'm devoted to holdin' things in a holster
Some of the things that I could show
You could be explosive and blow up
I load up a notion of motive, slingin' emotion and soak ya
In the system that told ya's up in Northern California
On these blocks where we post up, you motherfuckers can't hold us
To the youngsters stayin' focused, keep on strivin' and hopin'
Although Corona went closer to the way that we growin' up
Unconditional thuggin' as though the rain keeps on hauntin' us
Leavin' us drenched in this mix and we've been fucked ever since
The beginnin', sinnin' for winnin', damn near beggin' for an endin'
Few could live how we live 'cause all we felt was pain
Had a roof over our head but still felt the rain
Tryin' hard to maintain and keep on movin'
We ain't choose this life, we was raised into it
Few could live how we live 'cause all we felt was pain
Had a roof over our head but still felt the rain
Tryin' hard to maintain and keep on movin'
We ain't choose this life, we was raised into it
Scattered thoughts often got me second guessin' decisions
Mental scars eat at my brain, sometimes forget who I'm missin'
Sometimes forget that I'm livin', when in brief moments my vision
Dissipates to a state of unexplainable conditions
Pure black like a memory lapse, but feelin' trapped
'Til I snap back to life without a clue of where I was at
Only that evil resided and felt despair in the wrath
That's irreversible, too late to choose an alternate path
But in my last days on Earth, I'll continue my struggle
To open doors for little homies that were steerin' from trouble
'Cause I don't want 'em to end up within the depths that I'm headed
And let 'em know bein' a man ain't about bein' breaded
It's about family and trust and love so deep that it hurts
And findin' strength to stand tall when your life's at it's worst
Embracin' loved ones in need of help when
There's a chance you'll bleed yourself
And don't ignore the cries of our youth, uplift and teach 'em well
