[Intro]
Man, n***as be thinkin' this street shit some kinda fairy tale shit, man; shit real out here, man
You will lose your life, uh

[Verse]
While tryna separate the right from wrong, the stress is buildin' up
This life a open wound so deep, it ain't no healin' up
But still you gotta hold your head, it ain't no givin' up
Rest in peace to Pac and Nip, I gotta give it up
This life I live can lead to jail or death easy
So say a prayer that the fallen soldiers rest easy
Walk through the valley of legends and kings, I see my reflection
Wantin' me to watch my back, is envy in the question?
Power struggles got the war breakin' out selective
Life is just as fragile as a busted nut, detective
Talkin' to the Lord, they think I'm talkin' to myself
A few friends, besides that I'm lonely, I stay to self
I used to show too much love, it didn't help
'Cause showin' love to the wrong people, you only hurt yourself
Value the honorable souls that linger on this earth
The evil's been takin' a toll, the devil's on a search
I'm just tryna make it home to wifey
Why you wanna kill me and you look just like me?
Cowards killing kings, it be more than likely
I shouldn't have to die just for n***as to hype me
I shouldn't have to die for me people to miss me
I shouldn't have to die just for my n***as to lift me
So show a n***a love while I'm still here existing
Appreciate you, Black man, fuck all of the tension
[Chorus]
They say the devil wanna meet wit'chu
(He on some bullshit, n***a, I can't go)
I heard the angels wanna speak wit'chu
(So where they at, my n***a? I wan' go)
Stay safe my n***as, keep that heat wit'chu
(I'm from the hood, my n***a, I stay strapped)
Before we beef, I'd rather eat wit'chu
(What's really good, my n***a? Let's build back)
They say the devil wanna meet wit'chu
(He on some bullshit, n***a, I can't go)
I heard the angels wanna speak wit'chu
(So where they at, my n***a? I wan' go)
Stay safe my n***as, keep that heat wit'chu
(I'm from the hood, my n***a, I stay strapped)
Before we beef, I'd rather eat wit'chu
(What's really good, my n***a? Let's build back)

[Outro]
Yeah, rest in peace to the fallen soldiers
All the kings and queens we lost to senseless violence
We're here for you, ridin'
