Pastor (?): "Live today, which is the period of opportunity."
Verse 1: Yeah
Or die an opportunist, put on that to-do list
I grew out the sewage, comin' out the blue-ish
I could tell who is-, the man over there cause he don't stand in the newest
He stay out the latest, plottin' on the A-list
Can't outgrow the sewage, hair turnin' grayish
Gone without the pool stick, close friends raided
Started in the youth pit, til' old man, gated
Let him live today, go sell the opportunity
Sleepin' at a wake, yellin' out a eulogy
My heart was in the sink, ain't let a drought ruin me
I'm smarter than you think, never doubt truancy
I talk, you let it sink, I'm yellin' out j**elry
I starved to get a drink, forget about unity
My partner's in the clink, I'm checkin' out, soon to be-
The hardest n***a shrink-
Stretch him out, shooting spree
Pastor (?): "I called you in righteousness, and I'll hold your hand."
Verse 2: Nah
Call on the righteous, they talk you out of it
Can't hold my hand, I was raised off the ground for this
n***as ain't believe, I ain't pray on who doubted it-
Married it
The game old, zip a pose on a lot of sh**
He never divorced, left a widow
Told him instead of the porch catch the window
Dealt with a federal source fetchin' info
Bet if he mentions the horse, every men goes (yo)
It gets cold and so does the shoulder
He ain't gon' learn til' he know it's over
Round my way the bodies compete with the overdoses
Now-a-days I gotta discreet, no one knows us
Motorolas, cut from that cloth
Older borough, dump a pack off, joker chauffeurs (chyeah)
I just want em to live today
Don't let none of them things ricochet
Pastor (?): "I was standin' on the streets talkin' bout it. You make the choice. Likewise, if we got heaven in our heart."
Verse 3:
This thing of ours can't force em to think of power
The least they could do, is bring the flowers
Youngin don't wanna live today and need a shower-
Speakin' powder
Stomach in knots, feed the growler (yo)
It went from sweet to sour
Righteousness, can't teach em how to-
Life's a b**h, can't leave without her
You might get missed, might get rich, word
