[Intro]
Sometimes (sometimes)
What you gonna do when there's bills to pay?
And there's kids to raise?
And the money that you make just ain't enough?

[Verse 1]
Uh, sun sizzling through my window, I peep the tempo
You toke up on that indo, when life comes to crescendo
We played it smooth, I got the heart to make it
I'm Liam Neeson for my people, mine ain't for the takin'
Talkin' kindness, some get blinded by boasts for shinin'
The coldest n***a ever still couldn't predict the climate
Time's a wrinkle to the heat they ironing, press it down and
It was tucked away like a handkerchief in pocket lining
Can't define it, raise your signage
How we up, but we still declining?
Black is gold, but we strive for diamonds
Zion's close, I just pray you find it
And send word to the left behinded
Overwhelmed and undermined it
Instead of guns, I got knowledge you should blow your mind with
Don't be late for the vibing, check your time and
We all got a lane of our own, watch we driving
Every pool ain't meant for diving
Every groove ain't meant for sliding
Don't confuse hustling with surviving
Life is far from a game with quick reviving
Only mothers crying over kids dying
While they trying to make a living
In a world of bill collectors, forever billing
While the rest want a better life
Looking at the ceiling as the fan blow
Man, this sheetrock ain't appealing, uh
[Chorus]
I want a house upon the hill, mama, uh
It ain't safe where I live, mama, uh
The gunshots give me chills, mama, uh
The candy lady moved from here, mama, uh

[Verse 2]
I got a partner that got a shot and he down to make it
But if them feds pass the rock I pray he never take it
But I know the feeling of wanting to win in life
So a wrong becomes a right, then we roll the dice (damn)

[Outro]
