Let me take y'all way back way back when i was eight years old
I was playing in my front yard, front yard i ran through the back door
Thats when i say my momma crying i said i asked "whats wrong?"
I said i asked my momma "whats wrong?"
I said i asked my momma "whats wrong?"
She said "baby if you ever listen, this is the perfect time son"
My momma told me she had cancer, cancer and momma might die soon
My momma told me she might die soon
My momma told me she might die soon
And when i was 15 standing on that block
Thats when a black Monte Carlo pulled up, pulled up
And started letting out shots
Thats when a bullet went cross my head
And then laid there thinking i was dead
I told them i ain't got time for this, bit tonight
They wanna take my soul
Now every night when I have those dreams about a n*gga killin me
My ni*gga is you feelin me
I swear i do this for the streets
You lost somebody that counts so I'm stressin RIP
Now when i was 16, they sent me off to jail
I was mobbin, chillin, coolin, relaxin, sitting back to myself
Thats when an officer came and got me
Got me, and tool me up those stairs
And i just swear i was finna cause hell
Man i was thinkin like "man what the hell?"
When i walked up in that office
That office, and i picked up that phone
I heard my grandma voice say "lil baby boy be strong"
Thats when i knew something was wrong
I gotta feelin my momma was gone
Now tell me is you feelin me or do you feel the melody
Going da da da da da da, a da da da da daa
A da da da da da da daa, a da da da da da da daa
I told them i ain't got time for this, not tonight
They wanna take my soul
Now ever night when i have those dreams about a n*gga killin me
My n*gga is you feelin me
I swear i do this for the streets
You lost somebody that counts so I'm stressin RIP
Da da da da da daa, a da da da da daa
A da da da da da da daa, a da da da da da da daa
