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)
