[Intro: DJ Drama]
We all get caught in our own sins
Sometimes I have to remind myself
That on my worst day
I live like somebody on their greatest
Don’t let your demons take you to Hell
Introduce them to Heaven
[Hook: Gourdan Banks]
Some n***as go to college, some n***as go to jail
Some make it into Heaven, some make it into Hell
Nobody want to lose, nobody want to fail
Nobody want to die, nobody want to k**
The things we do just to make it through
But nobody want to lose, nobody want to fail
Nobody want to die, we’re just tryna live our life
[Verse 1: Meek Mill]
Look, I got homies in the ground, skeleton and bones
And n***as doing life, they ain’t never coming home
They said I wouldn’t make it or never see the throne
And my baby mama hate me, ‘cause she said I did her wrong
‘Cause I left, to chase my dream, get it any means
I said that I’ll be back, she wasn’t listening to me
That back-and-forth arguing was getting in between
I said f** them other n***as, I go get it with my team
If we all grind, we all shine, f** a part time
I used to play the block early morning and dark time
Now it’s G5 flights, f** a depart time
It was hard times, n***a, now it’s our time
Just take a look at my life, rappin’ brought me back to life
‘Cause I was in them streets
My heart was cold as a pack of ice
Every night we strappin’ like we was in Iraq to fight
‘Cause n***as getting murdered
For a block that do a stack a night
Whoa, I got to make it home to my son
On them papers with a firm hold on his gun
Before I snitch they gotta burn a hole in my tongue
Give me a hundred years in a hole on the sun
In boiling water, in the world of no order
In the hood, ain’t no loyalty, ain’t no world for your daughter
Ain’t no life for your brother, on the life of my mother
I’ma get the fam right, n***a, you damn right
[Hook: Gourdan Banks]
Some n***as go to college, some n***as go to jail
Some make it into Heaven, some make it into Hell
Nobody want to lose, nobody want to fail
Nobody want to die, nobody want to k**
The things we do just to make it through
But nobody want to lose, nobody want to fail
Nobody want to die, we’re just tryna live our life
[Verse 2: Jadakiss]
Yeah, I used to pop a lot of sh**, now I keep it moderate
These n***as know I been iced out, hopping outta sh**
Right now I’m praying for my son to get this scholarship
A nice university, one of these black colleges
Far as the hood go, I acknowledge it
But whoever ain’t a snake usually a follower
Luckily, I can tell the difference
My man coming home, my other man getting sentenced
Soft n***as usually send the hate through the b**hes
Jealous Instagram n***as hating on your pictures
We dream-chasin’, y’all n***as walkin’ behind wishes
Without workin’ for it, not often you find riches
Some n***as find coffins, others just find ditches
Just ask around ’bout the militia, they malicious
D-block, finish that and cop more dope
I’m two-stroke, you four-stroke
If you got enough cigars we can all smoke
Ain’t nothing all good when you all broke
So we could never be equal
Never bite the hand that’ll feed you
Never fear a man if he bleed too
Some n***as need a headshot, some n***as need two
Play sweet in these streets and they’ll leave you
You can’t see the devil, he’s see-through
[Hook: Gourdan Banks]
Some n***as go to college, some n***as go to jail
Some make it into Heaven, some make it into Hell
Nobody want to lose, nobody want to fail
Nobody want to die, nobody want to k**
The things we do just to make it through
But nobody want to lose, nobody want to fail
Nobody want to die, we’re just tryna live our life
