- Intro//

- Song starts @:0:23
- V1 (Single Verse Song)//
- You'll never understand my pain, or the reasons why I got it
- but I'm rapping for my bro, RIP his spirit guided me and
- what's it mean to grow? I hope and pray his ghost resides
- in the holy gates of the lord, not the dark waters of Poseidon.
- Compared to me You're elementary, can't tell you what this
- meant to me, brother died when I was 14, and it messed me
- up mentally. 3 rounds to my head, me and death man we got
- this chemistry, pain leaves the devil shivering every time that
- he mention me. Gods real, but I'm not praying to the lord, cus'
- if I lose anymore family than I'm not playing anymore, I'm
- spraying on ya' door, so I don't gotta feel the pain anymore.
- Without my father and my bro no point in staying anymore. It's
- hopeless... and I am broken every time I think about em', but I
- shed my tears for em' and I even dreamed about em'. Mama
- talked down to my dead dad and I started screaming, shouting,
- but I knew that she was right, not a moment when I doubted
- that what my daddy did was wrong, cause he drank his life away,
- but we gave him 15 years of my life to fix his mistakes, and when
- that nigga hit my moms, we had that nigga locked away, but when
- that nigga came back out I seen the devil in his face. They say kill
- two birds with one stone, but the devil didn't need it, took my daddy
- and my brother, before I even finished blinking, throw myself into
- fire, and I pray that I start sinking all my wounds are self inflicted
- my heart is constantly bleeding. Those situations made me who I
- am today. Don't listen to my moms always screaming up in her face.
- I feel like she gone' leave me with one of these things that I say. When
- that happens, pray for me cause the devils made his escape. Man, he's
- running for me, but I deserve so keep gunning for me, my heart is burning
- like the sun is on me. Yearning but no one is on me, I keep it real but ain't
- no Warner's homie. Live that life? There ain't no warnings homie. Trust me
- nigga, I made it out but I am OK, but them niggas that used to roll whit'
- me and protect me there 'till this day. They got they tecs preparing to spray,
- and if they make it they preparin' to pay, the price of death for all their
- fairs to the state. That's OG shit nigga that I have never witnessed. I'm on
- my knees and I'm begging god for forgiveness. Cause I been feeling like
- I'm on the hit list, of all my old niggas, but I guess that shits just business.
- Sitting in my room, been writing this for hours. It's 9:11 time to topple down
- the towers. I lay families bodies down in the flowers. The devils coming
- he's been ready to devour... my brothers and sisters and family too, but I'
- would sacrifice myself 'cause that's what families do. Step up to the plate,
- no I will never cower, shout out to my father and bro, please rest in power.
