[00:19.770] | Ah-em |
[00:20.270] | |
[00:20.690][Verse] | |

[00:22.930] | Sometimes a ******* feel like ******* |
[00:25.990] | Talkin’ 'bout some real life ******* |
[00:27.790] | Goodbye letter, dear life ******* |
[00:30.750] | So if a ******* kill me, hope he mean it |
[00:32.810] | I just hope I die for a reason |
[00:35.710] | They probably won't miss me ’til they need me |
[00:37.610] | Have problems with admitting that they need me |
[00:41.180] | Have problems with they man then they need me, Lord |
[00:44.250] | I'm talkin' 'bout some real life ******* |
[00:45.090] | Goodbye letter, dear life ******* |
[00:46.000] | Way too concerned to be conceited |
[00:47.050] | I live and I learn, then die tryna teach 'em, Lord |
[00:50.600] | Die tryna reach 'em |
[00:52.260] | They care more about how much I leave 'em when I leave it |
[00:58.380] | I hope I leave more of an impression on my kids to be destined to have blessings to believe in, Lord |
[01:01.030] | Just got off the phone with my son |
[01:02.480] | Told him, "You a son of a gun" |
[01:04.930] | Just got off the phone with my daughter |
[01:07.740] | Told her, "I won't hesitate to ******* a young ******* up" |
[01:09.190] | Lord, a few ******* left me |
[01:12.090] | And only got a new ******* elected |
[01:14.540] | My old ******* was too disrespectful |
[01:17.050] | And only give my new ******* respect |
[01:18.850] | That’s power, yes |
[01:21.520] | So now we’re next |
[01:23.370] | Can't lie though, I tried though |
[01:25.360] | I’l die tryin', that's a common death |
[01:28.280] | We was such a team, we was chasin' our dreams |
[01:31.050] | Then it stopped, now I’m outta breath |
[01:33.310] | Now they try to tell me I need rest and I'l find love again, I ain't find it yet |
[01:37.960] | Oh, but I guess it is what it is |
[01:40.830] | As it appears, oh ******* |
[01:43.040] | The object in the mirror is more near than it appears, oh ******* |
[01:47.910] | And sometimes I fear who in the mirror |
[01:50.780] | That ******* weird |
[01:52.830] | He done died so many times but still here |
[01:55.280] | Why am I here? Here |
[01:58.350] | Life |
[02:03.150] | What is my meaning? My reason? |
[02:10.110] | Naked ******* really love ones |
[02:11.470] | Sometimes our loved ones don't love us |
[02:14.730] | I'm *******' more than I'm makin' love |
[02:16.310] | Sometimes I make my rubber wear a rubber |
[02:19.420] | I just tell my lady, "Nothing's easy" |
[02:21.740] | Even though I make it look easy |
[02:24.180] | But understand looks are deceiving |
[02:26.480] | Lookin' like I'm lookin' for some grievance |
[02:28.150] | 'Cause I been through way too much, don't wanna think about it |
[02:29.880] | Crank about it, gotta drink about it |
[02:30.880] | Gotta synchronize it, tranquilize it |
[02:32.730] | Doctor ain't prescribin' what he ain't realizin' |
[02:34.790] | Pain inside me got me thinkin' 'bout me |
[02:36.290] | Tryna hang my body, sanctifyin' |
[02:37.880] | I'm a gangsta dyin' 'cause all gangsters die |
[02:39.380] | Can't deny it, you can't take my lion |
[02:41.240] | I'm a angry lion hangin' by a string |
[02:42.750] | I can't describe it |
[02:44.290] | Feel like a anchor tied to my finger |
[02:45.550] | Got me sinkin' to the bottom of my drink |
[02:47.050] | I know a lotta *******s think I got a lotta *******s |
[02:49.110] | There's strength in numbers but there's honor over strength |
[02:52.060] | I talked to God the other day, he said he got a ******* |
[02:54.160] | So, I look death up in her eye and then I wink |
[02:57.330] | It's way too real |
[02:58.580] | The ******* I'm talkin' way way too real |
[03:00.230] | I hope it gave you chills |
[03:01.530] | The dirt under your feet could be the grave, you feel |
[03:03.190] | You don't know how dead you feel until you're dead for real |
[03:05.130] | Gettin' high after I paid the bill |
[03:07.340] | Lower than a Navy SEAL |
[03:10.770] | Show up with them Navy guns |
[03:12.210] | I hope somebody prayin' for 'em |
[03:13.910] | Price tag, no mistake, somebody payin' for 'em |
[03:16.410] | Ice baths, now my face numb, no expression |
[03:18.320] | What's the life expectancy when you don't expect *******? |
[03:20.720] | Mama told me, "******* the world and be so aggressive" |
[03:23.380] | Be so fluorescent, watch these hoes 'cause they so obsessive |
[03:25.690] | I don't get too high to look over blessings |
[03:27.640] | Never come in second, make the most of your seconds |
[03:29.950] | They so precious |
[03:31.290] | 'Cause if we could buy time every store would sell it |
[03:32.990] | If you want me to read your mind, need correct spelling |
[03:35.200] | I keep it real, *******s better keep it copacetic |
[03:38.050][?] | |
[03:40.800] | Lookin' in the mirror at the one that know me better |
[03:42.950] | I was too busy to talk, I wrote an open letter |
[03:46.120] | |
[03:46.480][Refrain] | |
