[Verse 1: Julius]
Come visit my pen and I lend me your ears and eyes
Allow me to be as vivid and descriptive as my memory and diction permits
I mean visualize small house no working utilities in the winter time
Poor family lives inside
The father is missing poverty-stricken
The downswing of the economical pendulum I'm sure you can empathize
Now remember I said It's no working utilities
No using restroom facilities we had to improvise
We find a paper bag find something sturdy for the bag to fit inside
Squat over it the you shit inside
Bag, damn type shit kills your pride
You do this enough times your pride meets a quick demise
And we were only kids that part I must emphasize
Me and my siblings age range from ten down to infant size
I'm tryna express this shit
I'm trying my best with this
Really I be trying not to expose all of my families kept secrets
But fuck that shit fuck that shit let me vent man let me vent
In my heart there's forever a dent, I think that's evident
Went trough a lot embarrassment father I don't know where he went
My mother took a detour through hell when she had us she was heaven sent
Suffered a lot of depression shit all I can do is suppress the shit
That was my defense mechanism the best offense is the defense
Let me live let me live, what is living? Shit it can't be this
I'm trying to fight my demons they fearless on some Jet Li shit
[Chorus]
Why am I living such a bad life?
Life I must've been Hitler in my past life
Life tell me while I gotta be this way?
Do it have to be this way? Gotta be this way, gotta be this way
It's a tragedy my whole family is feeling trapped we can't escape
Trap we can't escape
Trap we can't escape
Can my family get away?
Man mad drama bad karma
Mad drama bad karma
Mad drama bad karma
Mad drama bad karma
Mad drama bad karma
Mad drama bad karma
Mad drama bad karma
Mad drama bad karma

[Verse 2: Demetrius]
Was I born on four twenty?
On that day before anybody was smoking
Was I provoking a war? Hoping the lord forgive me
Damn. Was I actually Adolf back in the day y'all?
That would explain all the reasons my positive actions don't payoff
And why I was born poor and skinny?
Damn. Why do I gotta get shot by the cops and endure oppression?
Damn. Why we can't move? Why we can't move in forward direction?
Why do I feel like my skin is a sin? Why do I, nah these rhetorical questions
I'm already knowing the truth and I'm about about to give you a historical lesson
I'm addressing the presence of elephants
Our oppression is all because of melanin
Melanin develops hella intelligence, it's really blessing that's heaven sent
And it represents why we ahead of them, they've been jealous of melanin ever since
So the cave dwellers turned into slave sellers
Yea they scared and it's evident
The caveman descendants enslaved the descendants of the Ancient Egyptians
But what's worse is the mental slavery given the minute they changed my religion
Gave me the Christian beliefs made me forget who I be now my language is different
Told me I was nothing but a savage so I grew up a gangsta That's the name of the system
Hope you paying attention
[Chorus]
Why am I living such a bad life?
Life I must've been Hitler in my past life
Life tell me while I gotta be this way?
Do it have to be this way? Gotta be this way gotta be this way
It's a tragedy my whole family is feeling trapped we can't escape
Trap we can't' escape
Trap we can't escape
Can my family get away?
Man mad drama bad karma
Mad drama bad karma
Mad drama bad karma
Mad drama bad karma
Mad drama bad karma
Mad drama bad karma
Mad drama bad karma
Mad drama bad karma
