Verse One

Some shit be going down and can't nobody tell me nothing

Its demons in the streets, I feel the heat of being hunted

the good and bad I done did used to gimme a balance

As a kid my daddy left and didn't gimme no guidance

Now I'm violent, bringing drama to my mama, slanging drugs

She on her knees praying crying couldn't give her no hug

Cause I ain't know how to love, just a struggle a being hungry

We broke barely eating all I'm thinking bout is some money

While daddy on the West by the governor living good

My mother, brother, and myself stressing out in the hood

It's death in my circle, people with lips burnt purple

Evil lurks, I'm so young but fuck with me and I'll hurt ya



Hook

I see dead people out in the streets

Zombies like in thriller dancing right alongside of me

It's death in the air from my head to my feet

How can I see the light if I ain't woke cause yo I'm still asleep (2x)



Verse Two

They say reap what you sow, so sow and you'll reap

Rewards better than material, I'm sleep still creeping

It's hot water life cramped swimming in the deep end

Bound to buckle, hustle Monday into the weekend

Papa don't preach, but Mama she keeps seeking

To pull her son out the street, but it's too late to reach him

Keep low to the mound, cause everybody around me seem to be going down

In prison or in the ground now

The young niggas in my town pop guns

But this grown man a be damned if I'm bout to run

So do I, let em have it, go back to being a savage?

Split they cabbage, give em permanent brain damage?

Or think of my life, shit I done, things I done been through

Think a my son; and how much your momma gon’ miss you

Think of my God cause I know I'm one of his sons

Or think of how the devil made me pop that gun



Hook



I see dead people out in the streets

Zombies like in thriller dancing right alongside of me

It's death in the air from my head to my feet

How can I see the light if I ain't woke cause yo I'm still asleep (2x)
