[Verse 1]
Just another night in my Philly
Will get dreams ain't worth a penny
We celebrate life every night, toast a (?)
I feel it in me, it's frustratin' enough
to watch the lil' homies on the grind tryin' to come up.
But look at me: the older generation O.G.
Tryin' to shake these nine-ounce into a key
Thinkin' major, knowin' all the time I need to save ya; the anger
I thank the feds for playin' on my pager!
Huh, but in still I smash out without fright
And raise the six hundred headlights through the night
Keep it tight! My reputation stands well
Cuz all the good n***as are either dead or in jail
Let's ?pretend? For one second hustlas who had riches
Stop flossin' for these fake a** b**hes
Puttin' all these G's turned snitches but it's (?) these days
Ya homeboy will put you in ya grave
[Chorus: 2x]
And I don't wanna die but if I do
Homies, don't cry! I did so much dirt I should fry
And, loc, sometimes I don't wanna come outside
But I'm all G'up, so let's ride!
[Verse 2]
I wake up every morning the same
?Hollowed? with my grains
Peepin' out my window for the change
But all I see is pain. I sold out my soul for the game
Familiar. Dat's why I gang bang, dat's why I slang caine.
I gots to maintain for what's I head
My baby-momma bringin' mo' drama than the feds.
But I ain't scared of all the automatic full of lead
I'm proof for the livin' walkin' dead!
I'm rollin' wit some n***as prepared for anything, anywhere
Anytime f*g in the hood are over there.
Dat's my outlook on life until it ends
A pocket full of chips and a Benz.
Shakin' all them so-called friends because they scheme and they plot
To lay me down and get what I got
We're runnin' off their spots wit glocks and fo-fo's like vets
And before I leave I cross out their set!
[Chorus: 2x]
[Interlude:]
"But, you know, it's like everybody I hear
wanna be a tough guy k**a, a gangsta, you understand?
But, ah, most of the gangstas and k**as I know (?) dead"
[Verse 3]
I don't wanna die but I see the devil's walkin' his flame (?)
Callin' my name like he know me
I pray dat god (?) his (?) foe me, show me a sign!
I be right here on the front line in this war zone
Tryin' to get mine before it's time.
But as I step over bodies dat I peeled
The vision hell's angels and the field (?)
Wavin' at me, getting close witta fat grin on the (?)
But they always take the n***as dat I k**ed
G, the situation is ill, I feel my turn's probably next
Dat's why I sport a bulletproof vest, but I stress
All it takes is one shot to the dome
Now your family's sittin' in the front row when you're gone
[Chorus: 4x]
