Hunger pains baby, this that nothing in the fridge flow
Water in my cereal for days I had to live broke
Hustling in these streets, sacrificed my life to get dough
Even when I had it, I always had to go get more
Every night, pasta noodles with some butter
Recording classics in the gutter with my brothers
Times were hard, but we were tougher
Skipped the metro just to get my ass to work
Couldn't use my debit, nothing in it that can match my worth
Days late, dollars short, if survival was a sport
I'd be balling on the court instead of falling on my sword
Damn that shit is cutting deep, bleeding feelings on the beat
Some of the things that I saw, got me jumping out my sleep
I know this shit is in the past, but it's still a part of me
Even though we hardly speak, I got love for ya
Even when it's hard to see, sometimes I know I'm hard to reach, yeah
Hope the Lord have mercy on the sinners like me
On the sinners like me
Hope the Lord have mercy on the sinners like me
On the sinners like me, yeah
Dealing with addiction, smoking and sipping
Friends dealing with prescriptions, popping and sniffing
I wonder, what's the difference if we're all addicted
When we get low, we need a crutch to help us do the lifting
Yeah, life a bitch and so is death, I heard they're soul sisters
I find myself reminiscing, looking through old pictures
Ain't kids no more and the way we're living is so different
Time is money now, the cycle of it's so vicious
The more I try to slow it down, the more it goes quicker
So I just need to get away for a minute
People calling, but today not really with it
Rolling up a blunt, bout to smoke it till it's finished
When it's done, I'll hit the other one I twisted
I feel the stress lifting every time I take a puff
Smoke bad for my lungs yet I fill them both up
Yeah I said , yet I fill them both up
These f*ckin' reckless habits, bro
Hope the lord have mercy on the sinners like me
On the sinners like me
Hope the lord have mercy on the sinners like me
On the sinners like me, yeah
Hope the lord have mercy on the sinners like me
On the sinners like me
Hope the lord have mercy on the sinners like me
On the sinners like me, yeah
