(Statik Selektah)
(She laid down on the road, said, "Don't go on when she late")
Illuminati watchin' us, police poppin' us
Waitin' until Christ come back, so he can walk with us
Shells in the revolver, bust hit somebody mama up
Kev-lars over the heart to match the scarrin' of
Our pops not bein' here, took him for a couple years
Now my - stuck in here, so what? We love it here
The drugs is here, the guns is here
Our mothers here, we run it here
The police lookin' for me, they gotta come in here
A vicious cycle controlled, the pigs runnin' the show
You think these guns just get dropped off at the door?
But I'ma still shoot, 'cause these days if you ain't gonna spray, then somebody gon' kill you
Live for today, 'cause tomorrow never comes
'Til I'm sittin' in the grave, I'll be sittin' in the slums
'Cause I'm livin' just to die, ain't a ribbon in the sky
Just a - in the hood, buyin' time before it's gone
Grandmother said we outta asthma medication
But get ready for school, still, 'cause hell is waitin'
If you don't learn -, you won't be -
And that would probably mean -
If they tried and teach kids durin' the class
Gotta a heart made of gold, knuckles smothered in brass
The snakes lay where you play, so I stray from the grass
Mind already troubled enough, so
Don't confuse my cruel actions for givin' a -
I show no love, parents didn't give me enough
It's too late now, I barely even like bein' touched
My girl stopped givin' me hugs, says I don't see her that much
But I just prefer bein' alone, because
Live for today, 'cause tomorrow never comes
'Til I'm sittin' in the grave, I'll be sittin' in the slums
'Cause I'm livin' just to die, ain't a ribbon in the sky
Just a - in the hood, buyin' time before it's gone
Live for today, 'cause tomorrow never comes
'Til I'm sittin' in the grave, I'll be sittin' in the slums
'Cause I'm livin' just to die, ain't a ribbon in the sky
Just a - in the hood, buyin' time before it's gone
