But til the end, I'm in the wind where the slug fly Pray for my sins, I hope I find Heaven close to me Try to be godly but these haters provokin me Pull the shotty want them dead is what my heart say My hard head make me learn sh** the hard way Dodging the fedz ain't the easy way to live, care But n***a do it everyday to make a meal stack Your phone tapped, under surveillance, secretly indicted Being watched daily, livin shady just to drive a Merdede And f**ing ladies, who making babies used against you Your enemy be the main n***a you be a friend too How can begin to explain the pain Can you stay in the rain Used to be a simple thing, but the game done changed Now slanging caine is a lifestyle Risking your freedom just to ball for a short while Gettin buckwild on the street up on Westside Downtown Atlanta, while we ride some of the best die From co*king hammers of these Tec-9s and .45s Excuse my grammar; but it's f**ed up how time fly It seem like yesterday we play until our days was nights And yesterday, I just put flowers at his gravesite and that ain't right [Outro: Kalage] All I know Is I'd been down this road before This ain't the first time, won't be the last I gotta slow down cause I'm living too fast It's time to admit I need some help Still living with my momma, can't feed myself Life ain't about who straight, who real, who fake, and who gay It's about who pray
