Your life, would you risk that?

These kids never been bad

Sixteen, run around with a big strap

Gone, how many died from the impact?

Deepest pain, what a mishap (mishap)

Never worth it when you think back

You idolize the rappers that I brung on tour

But their lifestyle, never lived that, never did that

He didn't want no crud

No dead bodies and no blood

When a grown man only knows self-hate

Them bullets show no love (blaow)

Oh, you thought you was grown, huh? (huh?)

Deal with it on your own, huh? (huh?)

'Til you get caught footin' your bill

When a judge give you life like a grown-up

Talk about it, I don't listen when you talk about it

Don't lie when you talk about it, I know you lost inside

And feel like no one cares about you, I do

Fools think no one loves you, I do

But it's gonna take more to break the cycle

Fuck tryna defend your title

When you cold, under arrest, cryin'

Another story here for the headlines

Love be my destiny

Destiny, I'm lost

Inside there's something deeper

With you, it keeps me warm

Love be my destiny

Destiny, I'm lost

Inside there's something deeper

With you, it keeps me warm

She feelin' the gun, man

Still never leavin' the gun man

Stays near to the gun man

Drop a likkle tear for the gun man

She live and die by the gun, man (die with the gun man)

Tell a lie for the gun man (with the gun man)

She will never give him up, no

When they all spray, hide from the gun man (say no to gun man)

She wanna understand the gun man

Like, why does your gun bang?

He say, it's a long story

Just know it's used when I gun, man

She tell me now 'cause I gotta know

Are you gonna roll with a gun man?

Drop a load for the gun man?

Get dough with a gun man?

The stupidest of life choices

She could lose it all for one man

Now see, look at what your boy did

This all could have been avoided

There's no goin' back, you picked your poison

Made your choices

Well that must have been the best lie

Another story for the headlines

Go

Love be my destiny

Destiny, I'm lost

Inside there's something deeper

With you, it keeps me warm

Love be my destiny

Destiny, I'm lost

Inside there's something deeper

With you, it keeps me warm

Runnin' with a pistol on my hip

And anybody get shot, get it?

Any minute know that I'ma switch, uh

'Cause gunfire, it keeps you ready

I tried to live a good life, I tell ya

But when the streets run back

A gunshot for the good guy

In this concrete jungle

Chaos these days is madness

If you get caught slippin', they'll do damage

They won't see you as practice

'Cause behind all these hoods and black tints

Is them boys that are ready for you on sight

Them boys gon' get it, won't hide

Them boys, they don't wanna hurt your pride

Them boys wanna ruin your life

Better stay wrapped on them coldest nights

Thinkin' back, wanna show them, right?

Take a chance or roll the dice

But we all know how the story ends tonight

He won't make it back to his tonight

The fuckery is that he knew this guy

Who would have thought all these years of bein' his pal

He was lookin' at his killer in the eyes?

Love be my destiny

Destiny, I'm lost

Inside there's something deeper

With you, it keeps me warm

Warm

With you it keeps me warm

Tell me where you get the gun from

Die for the gun man

Gun man, tell me where you get the gun from

I wonder if America or in england

I wonder if japan or it's made by russians

Lemme tell ya, gun man

Tell me where you get the gun from
