Stay Safe (feat. Jo Rivers)

We never know if the next time Is gonna be the last time So we don't say goodbye 'Cause we don't know if this is the last day So we say stay safe Bills looking high Filled a lot of apps out still no reply Accept for that one place, pay isn't right But fk it's something man they say it's worth a try Slacks and a tie, button up, no ride, bus it up Leather case hold my resume man it's filled with stuff My lady kissed me on the cheek and told me stay safe You smell good babe and you look like a million bucks That was the last words i heard from her as I stroll thru the city plagued with murders Caught the bus, did the interview fucked it up Went to see my cousin Z for minute to bust it up Aight it's gettin late so imma just walk home He said "be safe" i said "I'm straight" I'm gettin to his complex exit 2 niggas on the steps I said "excuse me bro" then I heard "wait a sec" I said "nigga move" he said "who the fuck is you Nah who the fuck is you tryina tell me what to do In ya fancy ass clothes and ya church shoes Don't make hurt you boy you couldn't pick a worse move" His boy told him to chill, said "walk off nigga" My pride made me respond "that's what i thought nigga" Of course we fought nigga We both losers I was the harder hitter He was the shooter We never know if the next time Is gonna be the last time So we don't say goodbye 'Cause we don't know if this is the last day So we say stay safe Bills lookin high I would be at my job but last week i got fired I tried to leave this street shit alone I really tried see But this the only place that I know is gonna hire me Make a couple calls like who got the connects My little homie Brawl said it's money on his set I said "We on the phone so u know say no more You coming by the crib?" he said "I'm almost at your door" I go to let him in and he had an eviction notice Said "This was on your knob, so it's time to get focused" I'm stressed to the Tee, I said "yo who I got see" He said "Just come with me we gonna see my homie Zeke, oh and yo grab your piece" I already got it on me Never had to use it but better safe than sorry We Get to Zeke's apartment "Yo B shoot him a text" He said he wit his cousin so just give him a sec So we sit on the steps I started telling Brawl my boss This Uppity nigga fired me just because They type to dress fancy everyday when he ain't have to Said he let me go 'cause he ain't like my street attitude He look at niggas like us and think we stupid though Then i got interrupted by a damn "Excuse me bro" I'm already pissed B tellin me chill, and I tried Then he started talking shit Ended up losing his life (Gun shot) right after i pulled the trigger I realized I'm in a complex that was full of niggas I'm hearing sirens already somebody must of called them When we first started brawling so i started hauling, shit Stay safe Chasing the wrong things And don't know Why Moments of laughter Turn to crys Pieces of my heart Are soaring high Yet I'm still here while your in the sky Stay safe Be careful out there, stay safe, get home safe Watch yourself, watch your back, Yo be good These are all popular goodbyes in the urban community Because the reality is where we're from and where we live And how we live and the things we're taught And the things we idolize sometimes Are the things that are quicker to get us killed Are the things that are quicker to get us arrested Are the things that are quicker to get us into some type of trouble So it's not normal for us to say goodbye Or see you later, because the reality is we might not see you later So I think its more popular to say Stay Safe Stay Safe
