[Chorus: Meek Mill]
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 kill
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 One: Gunplay]
Cold ass court-room facing the L
Twenty-four hours prior pacing myself
Asking myself, is this it? is this what i deserve?
Red jumper fitting like they had one on reserve
So alone feelin' like the only one on the earth
Shot go wrist to ankle mama looking worried and scurred
Immediate revenge before the verdict was served
Shoot a n***a shit up dont alert him and swerve
Talkin bout revenge thats a perfect return
These degrees gon burn you gon suffer the third
Bakin soda and the bird turn feathers to fur
So these motha fuckin fellas be as jealous as girls
N***as hatin but they beggin me to sell em these words (WORD)
But i gotta beat these felonies first
Bought a brand new benz that'll never reverse
This is never rehearsed, this a methamphetamine verse
[Chorus: Meek Mill]
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 kill
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: Meek Mill]
Look, I got homies in the ground, skeleton and bones
And n***as doing life, they ain't ever 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 fuck them other n***as, I go get it with my team
If we all grind, we all shine, fuck a part time
I used to play the block early morning and dark time
Now it's G5 flights, fuck a depart time
It was hard times, n***a now it's our time
Just take a look at my life, rapping brought me back to life
Cause I was in them streets, my heart was cold as a pack of ice
Every night we strapping like we was in Iraq to fight
Cause n***as getting murdered for a block that do a stack a night
Woah, 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'mma get the fam right, n***a you damn right
[Chorus: Meek Mill]
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 kill
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 3: Jadakiss]
Yeah, I used to pop a lot of shit, now I keep it moderate
These n***as know I been iced out, hopping out of shit
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 a difference
My man coming home, my other man getting sentenced
Soft n***as usually send the hate through the bitches
Jealous Instagram n***as hating on your pictures
We dream chasing, y'all n***as walking behind wishes
Without working 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 head shot, 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
[Chorus: Meek Mill]
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 kill
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
