Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't always do what I should
But I do what I gotta do
You been at the bottom
You see that hunger inside of you
Don't say what you won't do
'Cause it can all change
When the going get tough it'll drive you insane
[Verse 2]
See I done dodges a couple shots
Served a couple blocks
Hit a couple corners tryna' shake a couple cops
I broke a couple rules
Didn't graduate from school
'Cause I was busy hustling, man, I thought that shit was cool
[Verse 3]
See I gotta keep it real wth you, baby
'Cause the shit I used to do is what made me
And I'm hopin' I ain't gotta go back to the trap
'Cause we really know that we don't want that
[Verse 4]
But if I don't make it home tonight
Tell my mama that I love her
Leave some flowers for my brother
Girl, I love ya
[Verse 5]
But if I don't make it home tonight
Take some money to my sister
I don't want her ever chasin' after ****
'Cause where I'm from
[Verse 6]
**** out there dying every day
And they ain't all bad, they just tryna' make a way
And I ain't no different
So if I get missin'
These are my last wishes
I hope you get 'em right
Girl, if I don't make it home tonight
[Verse 7]
I know it's harsh
But this is how I feel, girl, it's coming from the heart
I hope it doesn't end the way it had to start
'Cause it started out bad
But I made it this far
[Verse 8]
But everyone ain't tryna' see me make it
Or they only wanna see me win so they can take it
'Cause I know it's hard to find a job
So **** kill and rob
There's a chance that I won't make it here tomorrow
[Verse 9]
Being honest
'Cause I gotta keep it real with you, baby
'Cause the shit I used to do is what made me
And I'm hopin' I ain't gotta go back to the trap
'Cause we really know that we don't want that
[Verse 10]
But if I don't make it home tonight
Tell my mama that I love her
Leave some flowers for my brother
Girl, I love ya
[Verse 11]
But if I don't make it home tonight
Take some money to my sister
I don't ever want her chasin' after ****
'Cause where I'm from
[Verse 12]
**** out there dying every day
And they ain't all bad they just tryna' make a way
And I ain't no different
So if I get missin'
These are my last wishes
I hope they get 'em right
Girl, if I don't make it home tonight
[Verse 13]
Would you miss me?
Would you miss me?
Would you walk up to my casket
Would you kiss me?
My life is schizophrenic, I'm just tryna stay sane
Pour a cup full hope, it take away the pain
[Verse 14]
I say, you know I, I, I, I
Came from the projects
****
Don't care if it kill me
I die, well stay in them projects
You know I'm fresh as a motherfucker
In case that I die tonight
Got a lot on my mind, you know that I'm high tonight
[Verse 15]
I left that black Hublot home
So really I don't got the time
My **** got power quarter
Heard that he dropped a dime
Failure's no option, ****
You outta your fuckin' mind
Mixing my life and freedom, fool
So ain't none of you stopping mine
[Verse 16]
But if I don't make it home tonight
Tell my mama that I love her
Leave some flowers for my brother
Girl, I love you
[Verse 17]
But if I don't make it home tonight
Take some money to my sister
I don't ever want her chasin' after ****
'Cause where I'm from
[Verse 18]
**** out there dying every day
And they ain't all bad they just tryna' make a way
And I ain't no different
So if I get missing
These are my last wishes
I hope you get 'em right
[Verse 19]
But if I don't make it home tonight
Tell my mama that I love her
Leave some flowers for my brother
Girl, I love you
[Verse 20]
But if I don't make it home tonight
Take some money to my sister
I don't ever want her chasin' after ****
'Cause where I'm from
[Verse 21]
**** out there dying every day
And they ain't all bad they just tryna' make a way
And I ain't no different
So if I get missin'
These are my last wishes
I hope you get 'em right
Girl, if I don't make it home tonight
