I know you going through a struggle
Wondering what if on a lot of you're choices
But you need to put that focus on what is and not what could've been
What if the what ifs had never existed
What if we neva went missin, wonderin why?
Its only survial and die
Pennies and nickel and dimes just to get by
Lord oh my, we all wanna thrive, all wanna vibe
All wanna find away to escape our pain that we feel up in our veins
Throwin our dreams away for a 9 to 5, forget that shit I'd rather die
Im on the road cruisin, working through all my brusies
Pourin my heart in my music
Back in the day
My lyrics where nothing but nuisance
Now its pullin you outtah the nooses
Now its healing you through that rain
Repeatedly playin yah brain I knew when I made it up outtah tha cell
I had to hit the ground running I made it up outtah hell
No more of runnin and gunnin i'm sick of the gutters
I'm switching my rudders
I don't wanna be another brother gun down, when the moon not out
Damn and it goes like this
Some just live by gun (Gun)
Some just die to young (Young)
Some just livin they life (Life)
Some just payin price (Uh huh)
Summarizing they life through a lyrical fashion
Pourin my heart is my passion
Fillin yah cup til I overflow
Damn and it goes like this
Word to my brother you better not overdose
I wish you would take your lil brothers advice
Whatever the price amounts to cleaning you up
I hoping this vibe is healing your cuts
I know you goin through a toxic struggle
I'm rapping to pull up outtah the ruts
If Mom was alive, she'd hit you with an uppercut
Tried to connect with me
I know am busy I know I be working to hard
I gotta do what I gotta do to survive
But I know if I hit you're line
You'd always be down to ride
I just wish you'd ride out without that ice
Some just live by gun (Gun)
Some just die to young (Young)
Some just livin they life (Life)
Some just payin price (Uh huh)
Summarizing they life through a lyrical fashion
Pouring my heart is my passion
Filling yah cup til I overflow
Damn and it goes like this
We wake in the morning, no matter the rainin and pourin we gotta go put in the work
Pull ourselves from the the dirt or settle for the dust and rust away
Rest assured I'll find us a path with the pen and the pad I'll ease our pain
But the pain is all we known and that pain has kept us whole
So I know I know
Sending that spiritual message, soul to soul
Will you answer for me I do not know
Been in your shoes lost and alone
With impossible goals with a heart full of gold
And this melody is our remedy and it always goes like this
Some just live by gun (Gun)
Some just die to young (Young)
Some just livin they life (Life)
Some just payin price (Uh huh)
Summarizing they life through a lyrical fashion
Pouring my heart is my passion Filling yah cup til I overflow
Damn and it goes like this...
I know you been going through it
But you gotta keep pushin
You got that strength within
Unlock it
Love is the key
Love is the answer
Stay strong
