Lyrics
[Intro]
When all dreams seem to die
The summer's gone, the breeze stops blowing
The sun just leaves the sky
[Verse 1]
Yeah, this your life, you can play with it
You make your bed, you gon' lay in it
Do your thing, just be safe with it
Triple bunks in the state prison
Blue laces in my blue Chucks
I ain't never gave two fucks
BET, I chunk the hood up
Askin' if that **** Nip hood, what?
Like I wouldn't take it to the back with you
Same **** walked this track with you
Same **** shot a strap with you
Same **** bought a sack with you
Nineteen, touchin' two birds
Alpina's off a few swerves
Grey leather in my white Lincoln
Shit smellin' like a new purse
Two C's on my bitch, shit
My money risin' like Bisquick
Six words help you get this
Rich rapper on some Crip shit
I prayed for blessings as a young ****
Not to learn the hard lessons of a drug dealer
Triple life with a gang enhancement
The judge triple white and he hate your Blackness
He slammed the gavel with a racist passion
Got you waitin' on appeals, but your patience passin'
And all you've got to offer is a fight
It's too late to run to Christ once you caught up in this life, look
[Bridge]
So face the world now or cry
Face the world
So face—
So face the world
[Verse 2]
Look, don't cry tears, they don't fly here
And if you don't die here, you're supposed to fly Lears
365 here's like a dog year
No wonder why these **** twenty and got white hairs
Stressin' like they forty and some change
It's lonely in this game, all my homies is in pain
And Brodie is the slang, but it don't mean he your brother
It don't mean you can trust him, it don't mean that he love you
And we was raised wrong, but we stayed strong
And when we kept it real, we got faked on
And when we showed up, we got flaked on
And why them ****'s story gettin' cake, holmes
I bet my life, I'm a dice shaker
Electric lights on the skyscraper
It's up and downs for a real ****
But you'll be lame all your life, hater
MAC-10 in my black Benz
Show me signals of betrayal, can't be back friends
Long flights get my mind right
Victory to me is when you spend your time right
Victory to me is when you get your grind right
Victory to me is when you get your minds right
**** got this shit twisted
Like Jean-Michel Basquiat destroyed his pictures
Self-inflicted homicide, don't pull the trigger
I feel like I got to tell you, you got somethin' to contribute
Regardless what you into, regardless what you've been through
I feel like I got to tell you, you got somethin' to contribute
[Outro]
So face the world now
So face the world
So face the world
So face the world now or cry
Face the world now
So face the world now or cry
Face the world
