[Verse 1: Nate]
Me, Oscar, and Freddy dippin' in that gray corolla, almost home with the tank on E with an Arco on the corner
But we drove from block, we can't stop for nun', homies ain't got no funds
Homies ain't even eating lunch, my homie gotta pay child support every month
So we drove on by, hit that left, push on the pedal, feel it click, feel like there's no gas in it
Oscar, Freddy hurry quick, jump in the back and push the whip
Hate this feeling, hate this moment, crucifix my pockets holy, now everybody know it
Pushing this whip down the street only show it
Don't you hate that moment in your life when you tryin' to do good and everything that could go bad around you did so like it should
Dear Lord I overheard adversity will make you stronger but I've also seen it turn men of faith into monsters
Yea, and I'm on the bridge, threw me everything including the sink, somethings always wanna' see me sink when I'm flying
Laws of attraction they tell me "live by it", I don't really know if I buy it, hard to be quiet when you livin' in a riot
Hard to find life in a world that's dying, Woah
[Hook: Nate]
Another one of them days killa'
Where nothing turns out your way go figure
Never know when shit would pan out like this
No matter how I try to live in the midst
Troubles and trials, keep my distance when evil arouse
But I know this shit gon' keep coming around
And around, round and around, back, back around
Trying to do right, everything go wrong
I'm still in the midst in the dark with a smile
Yea, uh, said at least we living
Yea, at least we living
[Verse 2: Nate]
My optics make it hard to be an optimist when watching sure shots get shot down like Duck Hunt
With semi-rounds me and the kids full of potential don't ever end up leaving town
Success is never dressed within our high school cap and gowns
So what does that mean for me? Just another kid who dropped out of J.C
Like Kanye West from the west who never got blessed with the opportunity to meet a No I.D
Met a lot of thieves that C.C.P, with a sleeve full of trickery and heart full of grief
Can't blame us we was just teens tryna' find our way in society
Gotta' learn how to duck, bob, and weave, and then throw your damn woes, throw your damn woes
One, two, jab, combo, better learn how to roll with a punch so you don't catch one and fold
That's a metaphor for the trials of life, oh your past was dark well then your future's bright
Nah, but that's never the case, just another cliche we say to help us cope with our daily pain
Daily bread, bow your head and pray (Lah)
Amen, I've been thinking about changing my direction but I easily lose faith when it's
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Fego]
They tell me "be happy at least we still livin'" but I ain't forgettin'
I promised my folks that I'm getting a million, they said I was finished, it's just the beginning
O.D. told me "careful with money and women"
Weed and the liquor had me feelin' wicked, we ask for forgiveness
The games addictive, say what up to killers we feeling convicted, you know?
Time to go get it fo' sho', hear the Lord knock on my door
This can't be life, see there's gotta be more
Weekends predictable: liquor and dro, shawty get low
Time moving slow, I gotta' go, beautiful woman, too bad she a ho
Gotta' get rich man I hate being broke, some go to school man others sell dope
Look to the Heavens we seeking for hope, ambition and passion are thoughts are provoked
Reading a poem that Cainan done wrote, survival for love that's all I know
That's all I speak, truly concrete, travel the street, truth set you free
That's what we seek, that's what we learn
Now tables turn, haven't you heard? Play with that fire you burn, only concerned in the paper you earned
Can't take it with you when you leave from this Earth, I know the truth hurts, hope that it heals
Know how it feels, surrounded by weed and the ecstasy pills
Hollywood females that only wear heels, killing and stealing, they chasing the thrill
One of them days, ah y'all know the deal
[Hook]
