[Hook]
The darkness seems hopeless
Shots firing, cops sirens
It all sounds like a song to me
And it's saying
Run, run run run run
It's saying run run run run run
It's saying
[Verse 1]
Cops coming, sh** when they ain't though
Stashed the little dope that I had inside a sinkhole
Roped off the edge of the block and said you can't go
Pa**ed the corner someone got shot up on the eight floor
If you's a dope boy in these streets, there's no escape for it
You my nig, what the f** you gonna do my nig
Without the drug flow, it ain't no money flow
Your child look at your funny, even your honey know
Funds low, don't sell dope well f** I'ma go
Out in these streets that's all a n***a know
And I'm up to my neck, it's getting hard to see
Only way to make it out this sh** is if God's with me
If this is a test and I can do it then God can see
The street's in me but there's also God in me
A yo cuz' you can't fake what's in your heart
To see your family go it ought break you apart
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
I grew up poor, you already know about that
Guess that's a fact, everybody know about blacks
Not fun to talk about that's why we talk about crack
Or driving Maybach's back-to-back
Yeah back to back
Yeah, another lost n***a want the [??] back to black
Cause I'm trapped, and all I'm trying to do is get the track back
Jumping sh**, ain't that something
You build your own prison then lock yourself in it
Based on your own convictions
Losing your religion
You're making bad decisions
Chain on [??]
Yea it's hard to listen
The way the ice glisten
When I was young my friends was out there pitchin
And I was in cla**, broke, hard to pay attention
Money ain't everything, you sound real convincing
n***as starvin in the hood and you'll never convince them
Live for a dollar and die for it too
[Hook]
