Ray J grew up on the east side only wheels a bike or bus ride Daddies favorite drink crown royal glass of shots Ssoon there's 5 pops bodies drop daddy gone and Ray J lost On how to be a man school teaching he won't be anything Won't have college plans a hood fail tell kids oh well If they don't make it get killed lost in street thrills Friends learn to grip a pistol learns too now official Rappers he looks up to say if ya mad Find & shoot get the money get the girls Get the buicks get the world listens to their teachings Though they do what they please these kids practice what they preaching Got no man to lead got no dad to teach so he's growing to be what these rappers say he needs Forget college forget work gang banging just in first grade already see a brother sprayed Now he knows pain just a breath away from being in his own grave Another breath another night another death Mama's cry Another thrill can't satisfy In the end Where am I? Just a breath then I'm gone Just a breath then I'm gone Just a breath then I'm gone Then I'm gone, then I'm gone Ray J tried to make it out the hood But the only dudes that do NBA or selling good good gets paper like the videos beats up haters too And at night under covers with another lova cause they say sex makes ya a man like no otha Dropped outta school to be a rapper how he shows his anger At his mama at his papa so he raps usin the finger hoping To wrap that finger round a trigga blow to shreds the Man who never was a father figure blaming this ghost for all the pain not let go Not havin a family feelin he'll never know and won't show it In corner store plugged in to music get a pack of cigs dude rushes in Screaming for money the clerk won't give him before Ray J can stop it a shot sounds Jumps they fall to the ground gets the gun pulls back the mask now its pointed at the man Cause the shooter's Ray J's dad Another breath another night another death Mama's cry Another thrill can't satisfy In the end Where am I? Just a breath then I'm gone Just a breath then I'm gone Just a breath then I'm gone Then I'm gone, then I'm gone Could've shot him there but he only stared could've stopped the tears more fall every year Daddy been in for ten since the incident asks jimmy to visit finally does can't live with it So much pain to let go so many things dad doesn't know left this brokenness at home Had to be the man alone now face to face with the ghost who he had needed most His daddy leans in close says what hadn't been heard before I'm sorry Ray J then tears start streaming Ray lets out what he's feelin years alone with dad leavin trying to find life's meaning For all he had been believing Ray J's yelling chest heaving Barely breathing from the pain never ceasing Tears streaming too freedoms coming through walls cracking loose healin takes time to move A wife a couple kids dads free again not from prison but life he was living Not just a breathe but forever breathing Another breath another night another death Mama's cry Another thrill can't satisfy In the end Where am I? Just a breath then I'm gone Just a breath then I'm gone Just a breath then I'm gone Then I'm gone, then I'm gone Another breath another night another death Mama's cry Another thrill can't satisfy In the end Where am I? Just a breath then I'm gone Just a breath then I'm gone Just a breath then I'm gone Then I'm gone, then I'm gone
