Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You ain't got no money, I ain't got no time
All these faces looking funny when I'm driving by
Had to tint my whip, my name is buzzing
Know they plan on killing mine
Aim it at your temple, we was taught to kill a **** mind
Genocide buried in the tide, cleanse it in the sand
Blood is sittin' in my hands, I'll never be the bigger man
I know they'll never understand, but I don't give a fuck
Lift your hands up high before I stick you up
[Verse 2]
I held you to the ground 'cause you were floating
Told me you're afraid of disappointing
Pushing on your physical existence
Pushing only 'cause you felt resistance
Can't help but think about the situation
Trying to get to sleep but my mind's racing
Only got each other we can turn to
Lying here, I know they'll never break you free
[Verse 3]
You and me nobody else
If it can't be that way, then I'll just be all by myself
I love the way you stay away from me, you make me melt
Those nights you used to come and stay with me
Replaying in my memory, it's no such thing as meant to be
That's fine 'cause you so fine, the way you walk, you talk
The way you leave your mark, just can't break you from my thoughts
Walking through Ramona Park, like they wasn't tryna shoot me up
Doing all we did, we still ain't do enough
[Verse 4]
Leaving through the night and starting fires
Going through society's desires
Smoke and retribution, keep it burning
Only 'cause of sorrow I'll be learning
Can't help but think about the situation
Trying to get to sleep but my mind's racing
Only got each other we can turn to
Lying here, I know they'll never break you free
[Verse 5]
I ain't scared of six feet
'Cause I ain't scared to be free
All I seen while on this earth
Know that hearse can't be too worse
Tell the woman that I hurt
That I apologize for all my lies
And tell my mama, blame my karma
Hate she had to see me die
I just wanna see the sky
Shining from the other side
Looking down on all my friends
Making sure they walking right
'Cause ain't nobody watch our back
And this life way too hard for that
I made it out with my heart intact
Might harm me, still can't harvest that
