Tekst piosenki
[Intro] x2
Life… death
[Hook] x2
As I look back on life, I grow a little older
And wiser, keep throwing weight up on my shoulders
When I was born, my momma thought I was going to die
So she kept praying to God to look over my life
[Verse 1]
Now I’m grown, and I see the situation
Precisely, so I know exactly what I’m facin’
The way we live, we got to cop hot shit
Or live with nothing at all except the bare minimum
So don’t ask why we’re killin’ ’em, or feelin’ ’em
Cause shit is getting fucked up in the new millenium
I see people at gun point, while looking in the mirror
Wishin’ I could remember what she said, I couldn’t hear her
Now I’m focused to getting help to those in harm
Saw an orphan draw his mom so he could sleep in her arms
Hip-Hop’s got me on some old Do or Die philosophy
Getting by in life, my morals what it’s costing me
Possibly I won’t live to see my own children
Memories of project buildings and drug killings
This feeling’s got me writing’s raps with tears in my eyes
Thinking when I’m going to die, and who’s that to decide?
[Bridge] x4
Life… death
[Hook] x2 (distorted and fading stereo)
As I look back on life, I grow a little older
And wiser, keep throwing weight up on my shoulders
When I was born, my momma thought I was going to die
So she kept praying to God to look over my life
