Nowadays what I'm trying for
My idols and the ones I care for
Keep on dying off
Gotta keep my head and my shield up
South La living
Nighas kill you they don't give a f*ck
If you from the same building
People on the street with they children
Can't take for granted what you given
Time is what we can't get back
Don't wait until we fade to black
Look
Look
Tell me
Why I'm living like the game sliders down
Every shot I shoot a brick
Everybody watered down
Every single thought I have
Is boutta bag
F*ck my heart
It never helped from the start
It just kept me in shallow waters (mm)
Constructive criticism mixed with hate
From the snake nighas
Orochimaru clones
Reaching out
Setting up plays for you
I never complain
They used to tell me I was whining
Couldn't comprehend the storm that's in my head
I Started wylin
On these girls
Looking for love
I only got a quarter of
The rest is locked up with my family history
Reminiscing on the days where I was worried bout misdemeans
Now I get it by any means
Grab the ball then I hit the seams
Retro grade while on mercury
Crashed into sweet Gai
I was knighted the title
Of a social pariah
The walking oxymoron
I got some cold ass ways
To get you burnt up
Like dry ice
Who gon tell this nigha
That he ain't nice
Look
Look
When the walls are closing in
And you feel your last breath
Not a single soul in sight
Could you handle that?
The one you fantasize about
Mesmerized
You dream with them
They don't want to work it out
Can you handle that?
You begin the day great
Got hit with some extra shit
Mind peddling
You wonder
Can I handle this?
To answer simply
Yes you can
10 toes till the end
Stay strong until you win
You gon handle shit
Look
Broke bread with my eagles
So they stay fly
I'm the nigha check up on yo people
If you doing time
Say you love me while I'm here
Don't tell me
When I'm sky high
Escape the chair and face ya fears
God watch over our lives
