(Verse 1 C.O.D. DecaturboyMusic)
This a hell of life I'm livin', feel like I'm sprintin'
But for what? Shit I'm my competition
Wit these snakes in the grass, I can't even turn my back
So a half a ounce a dat, won't even help me relax
I sit back and put some Pac on, get dressed then put my Glock on
Even when I'm not home, the world safer when that lock on
Searchin' for a sign, while i'm tryin ta make the stars align
I Stopped Waitin' on the world to change, ain't have the time
Lord knows I've been prayin' for a better day
While trying to still, be thankful for everythang
Roof over my head, food on the table
Walkin' by Faith, cause ready willing and able
But damaging of dropping bombs, and obstacles in my path
Clouding imperfect sight, and shatterin' by broken glass
Even with all the pain, I promise I know I blessed
Mama say the same thang, when ever she see me stressed
(Verse 2 C.O.D. DecaturboyMusic)
Fear
My best friend, and worst enemy
It keep me on my toes, but hesitation killin' me
Hope that I don't have my dreams in my cross sights
Cnd double clutch the trigger, cause I thought that something wasn't right
Damn, with out worries if being burned
I jump into the fire, like f*ck it was my turn
Blind faith got me here, so the fear I tuck it away
If I only walk by sight, I'm never gone find My way
Started life on the highway to hell, but every struggle was a blessin'
Cause now I done flipped the script takin the street way to heaven
I ain't gotta get tatted, my scars is God given
Whether Mental or physical, I'll let him make that decision
What's pain to a man, that's lived waitin' on death
Cnd since the age of 12, he ain't really felt like himself
Jumpin' off of the roof, after climbing up from the basement
Excited for the fall, not worried about the pavement
