Murs - Walk Like A Man lyrics

[Verse 1: MURS] Now I used to walk with the gun now I walk like a man And I walk what I talk and I walk never ran And I never say never but I mean hardly ever And if shootin' is the solution then you're not that clever If you don't know sh** then you still know better Human life is so precious it could never be measured Have you ever had a load of it co*k back the heat Poppin' on the next n***a while he walkin' up the street Trigger off safety spacin an opportunity These n***az wanna waste me it ain't nothing new to me Soon as he walked by I was ready to bust But he just posted up like he was waitin' on the bus Now I'm all punked up with a steroid trigger Cause most of y'all are easy just some paranoid n***az Used to walk with a gun but I never did use it What's the point of holdin' heat if you ain't gon' shoot it Stupid [echos] [different instrumental kicks in] [Verse 2: MURS] It was a late night sunset me and him out Lookin' at the ladies to come up on some trim Everybody wildin' out cause the summer's about to end He had the hypnotic he was missin with the hand Of that mean green laid back with the deep lean on low pro sh** That's how we rolled on the scene Two girls lookin' probably in they late teens But these days you can't tell but I figured what the hell So we yell out: Hey girl, they yell back Maybe two in the front maybe two in the back But they had this dark tag couldn't see through the black We roll up ask 'em where their party at They just start to laugh and I knew it was a trap But I couldn't roll out cause the strip was so packed Now I'm lookin at this n***a in this motherf**in' hat Start talkin' that bullsh** like we was on some bullsh** My n***a used to bang but we ain't know no thug sh** I tried to dismantle it but you know Los Angeles This n***a kept talkin' so my boy had to handle it He jumped out the Lex snatched the dude at his hat I put it in park jumped out to get his back But as I did that, I heared two shots I turned to my right and I see my dude drop Time stopped, coudln't believe what I seen I was struck by reality when the two girls screamed I saw his k**er stand up put the gun in his jeans Saw him wince from the pain as the heat burned his waist Then he turned up the block disappeared without a trace I remember his face but what I remember most Was when I got to my knees and held my n***a close And asked not to leave us in the name of Christ Jesus But he's gone and all I got left is his blood on my sneakers [Hook x2: MURS] It was a year to this day that my best friend died For weeks I sat alone in my room and cried And I tried to pretend everything was fine But my soul couldn't rest until vengeance was mine [another different instrumental kicks in] [Verse 3: MURS] The day began with me standin' at his grave with his mother His old girlfriend, his two younger brothers We said a few words faces covered with tears How we missed him so much and we wished he was here Then his girl said a poem put some roses on his stone And we said our goodbyes and they all went home I thought I'd use this time for me and him to be alone I broke out the Hen' poured a little out for him Told him who was gettin' married, who had went to the pen How the homie named his newborn son after him But as the sun went down the talk came to an end So I said a quick prayer..amen And I shook in the lab plus the well wrote tracks And I headed up saw the homie Eyezeer I asked him what he doin' he was way out of bound That he had a freak that lived on that side of town He always kept the heat just in case it went down A clown, I rolled down my window 'bout to light a ciga- Hey! Is that that n***a that...hey give me the motherf**ing gun Man, drive around the block and post up for a minute I hit you on the shirt hit the corner n***a bend it Splendid now with vengeance in my grasp I couldn't dream of a better day for me to catch his a** Slippin while he dippin into the ride by himself I slid up behind him in the shadows hell of stealth He started to breakin' stuff I said I didn't want a dime Remember what you was doin' last year at this time He looked into my eyes with both shock and surprise When I split his face with the Glock right before he could reply He cried as I pressed the heat against his cheek The I squoze two times for the homie rest in peace [Hook: MURS] It was a year to this day that my best friend died For weeks I sat alone in my room and cried And I tried to pretend everything was fine But my soul couldn't rest until vengeance was mine It was a year to this day that my best friend died For weeks I sat alone in my room and cried And I thought that's what I wanted until the problem was confronted Now I'm haunted by remorse that I wished I hadn't done it
