Outta My Life

Damn, here come another sad song

Listen to the words cause again it's on

Gettin' at my best black one more time

Cause nowadays we droppin' like flies

Seems like every other week

Somebody I know gettin' caught up in the streets

Used to be sad when I heard somethin'

Now I'm cool if I find out that I didn't know him

And that's true, I thought you knew

Cause nowadays we're born to die

And black life ain't shit

Oops, there's another one going down

Shot dead to the ground

Just one more drug-related

Fiasco makin' life complicated

Ask yourself how many of your good friends die

And then ask why

So I say, how many dope records do it take

Before the brother makes sleeping giants awake

Another day, another call, and it's so wrong

I can't believe I've seen him just last week, now he's all gone

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust to gat bust

Now another one's life is lost, did it twenty-two years old

Now my heart of pain is turned into a heart of stone

I feel like I wanna go get my motherfucking gat

Grab a mask and handle shit, but I'm conscious

So I think I'll count my losses

And wish my friend goodbye

I can't get with the same old, same old

Black on black, shoot a nigga off scenario

So I just swallow it down and try to let go

And see he at the crossroads

Now I'm more than a mack, more than a hustler

More than a d-boy pimp or sport star

And everybody can't make their way

Tryin' to rap or dance, I must say that the shit is played

Still militant, never be ignorant

More than a motherfucking jig

Cause I'm heaven's sin, ain't a player

You're nigga, a jungle-bunny

More than a coon or spook or porch monkey

And ain't shit funny

It's kinda sad we believe that's all that we can be

Brainwashed and ain't nobody lost but us

So who's paying the cost?

So I do what I can do

Still stayin' true, still payin' dues

And I still got love for ya

Don't squat when I talk, just listen

And get up on that shits you're missing
