Izayuh - Life Lyrics

Hopeless but hoping
I keep the coals on the burner
It's gettin' cold in the summers
I'm getting old
Or maybe it's my soul
Collectively gathered
By low lifes
Expectin' me to be dead
By the lead in the water
When I was led to the water
I didn't expect to be slaughtered
I think I'm supposed to drink
But I remember the daughter
She martyred herself
Bloody hands washed in the sink
What else am I supposed to think
When life's gettin' ended before you can blink
Before you can drink
Before you can drive
All we have left is the night
And we chillin'
Every single one of them
High
My name is Zay
And I just want to say
That I just want to play
Live in a better place
And see the face
On my momma
When I got the commas
See all of my cousins in college
My father is calling
Congratulatin'
That I finally made it
I'm modest
I fainted
I'm honest
Talking to him
Like talking to santa clause
It's like he only comes around once a year
And he travels around
That's his main career
And when I wake up he ain't here
Why he don't want me?
Ain't I gift?
He just made me
And gave me a lift?
To my mom's
Said " Here's your kid I ain't sending no money or shit "
And Then he dipped
Wit' a Spliff in his mouth
Said "son, throw the cigarettes out that's all I got
Hope your life's figured out"

I hope your life's figured out
Before he headed out
Said
Get your life figured out
