- Because we knew we were all done living broke
- Always broke and the gunshots, laying awake, eyes open

- Passing by the 7 Eleven, I see at least 7 fiends,
- Passed out on the sidewalk, they got their hands full already,
- We keep goin' steady. I ain't that petty and ammunition costs money.
- Do you see my mentality? It's a tragedy, to see the sanity just slip away
- And the reality settles in and you understand everything is designed
- To make you feel inclined to do nothing with your life. Look forward
- To the afterlife, until then, just get high and die on the sidewalk
- Cover our faces as we get close, identities unknown, we basically
- Ghosts with high hopes with no job's and a couple a scopes
- Head full of quotes to keep us focused on the job at hand,

- Jump out the ride, step aside, got 2 behind, I'm hyped

- But these thugs were bleeding before my boys even get through the door
- 10 clips through, I see the end, I taste the blood, I need some more
- This shit hardcore, loudly I roar for more as I fill the floor with blood
- Tunnel vision takes hold, and my peripherals fail to see
- Some dumb pussy coming out from room #3, whom I assume
