[Verse]
Yeah, my nephew was born, at the same time
A kid was murdered, 11 years old
Life or death, heaven or oh Lord
Every night I say prayers for my road dogs
'Cause my n***as caught up in this life of distraction and trappin'
It never gets old, Lord
Every day it get harder to hold on
But we never let go
'Cause I'm alive
24 hours, and you decide
Lately, my thoughts have been suicide
Killin' the man that I once was
What good is a dime when you want doves?
When you want it all, when you want love
You really never knew what love was
But your brother showed you what a gun was
I was 13
Showed me a TEC with a muzzle
And told me protection just come with the hustle
'Cause n***as don't love you
10 out of 10 they around 'cause they want something from you
My homie almost killed his cousin
'Cause he was caught up in the money he touchin'
And not what he keepin'
So when your family could cut you the deepest
When you at your weakest, the reaper come creepin'
Like fuck what you thinkin', get money, repeat it
But you keepin' secrets
And it's weighin'
Yeah, it's weighin' way more than it's payin'
But bills comin' in, like fuck what you sayin'
Chills comin' in, like "I gotta make it"
So it's 10 toes on the pavement
There ain't no way and I gotta go pave it, on God
[Outro]
I don't hit the brake, I go hard
And I'm seein' through the facade
I'm pavin' a way, that's on God
On me, I've been doin' my job
I don't hit the brake, I go hard
I don't hit the- skrrt
I don't hit the brake, I go hard
I don't hit the- skrrt
I don't hit the brake, I go hard
And I'm seein' through the facade
I'm pavin' a way, that's on God
On me, I've been doin' my job
I don't hit the brake, I go hard
And look how I battled the odds
I don't hit the brake, I go hard
I don't hit the- skrrt
