If I didn't let go of my past, I'd be a dead nigga
If I didn't get out of that city, I'd be a dead nigga
If I didn't get out of the way, I'd pull up in dead center
If I didn't hop in that whip and drive, I could've been dead with you
Dead with you
Keep my soul above the dirt, these hits don't play with you
My mama and them get priority first, no, I can't hang with you
Them guns on semi-auto bursts, no, I won't fade with you
Quick to pull these * guns up in my face, nigga
I can't fight for no business but my own
I'm trying to live so I can help the ones I owe
I'm trying to live so I can give my blood a home
I'm trying to live, god damn it
Kill my soul and mend my body up from all the damage
I hope that we can find a better path for my oldest records
Cause right now it look a bit slim
I fight, I saw my mama and them dead, yeah
If I didn't let go of my past, I'd be a dead nigga
If I didn't get out of that city, I'd be a dead nigga
If I didn't get out of the way, I'd pull up in dead center
If I didn't hop in that whip and drive, I could've been dead with you
Dead with you
Keep my soul above the dirt, these hits don't play with you
My mama and them get priority first, no, I can't hang with you
Them guns don't send me out of bursts, no, I won't fade with you
Quick to pull these * guns up in my face, nigga
I can't fight for no business but my own
I'm trying to live so I can help the ones I owe
I'm trying to live so I can give my blood a home
I'm trying to live, god damn it
