lyrics

(Intro - Willie)

(Verse)
Before, they put me in the ground as deep (deep)/
As deep as my nigga Toon is tall from head to toe/
I'm talkin’ six feet/
I hope, that I really get the courage to speak/
To speak what's inside of me/
The thoughts that reside in me/
Pride'll be reason dreams die wit’ me, probably/
Gotta go hard for my artistry/
Scholar, that won't let my father be prophecy/
‘Fore they Big Poppa me/
I let the pen and the paper collide/
And be lyrical prodigy/
Honestly/
Fuck what you spittin’/
Life is short as a midget/
So, I'm back wit’ a vengeance/
Keep my fears at a distance/
I can't waste a minute/
I count every digit/
The mission's to sell out shows/
Not sell our souls/
We set out goals/
Y'all set out hoes/
You fill that mold/
I'll sail that globe/
Spit that heat/
‘Cause the world so cold/
Man, time ‘gon roll/
It ain't on our side/
So, before it run out for me/
They take a shot at me out on that balcony/
Make sure I finish these niggas, fatality/
Then I just breathe.

(Chorus)
As I lay me down to sleep/
I pray The Lord my soul to keep/
And I hope I don't die before I wake/
I got dreams to chase/
Hope it ain't too late/
Hope it ain't too late, nah.

(Verse - TLNTD)
Nowadays I don’t have no time to sleep/
I been workin’ hard for the ones who believe in me/
I'm sippin’ on liquor/
And chasin' it down wit’ my dreams/
Got me thinkin’ ‘bout all of the time that pass/
And we ain't speak/
Now you under my feet/
Got my head on my knees/
And I'm just tryin’ to breathe/
While I'm smokin’ OG/
Gotta stay strong for my team/
But I'm feelin’ so weak/
Probably ‘cause I ain't slept in weeks/
And the bills pilin’ up on my dreams/
I just wanna fuckin’ scream/
I admit it, I’ve been goin’ through some things/
Everybody ain't down for the team/
Oh no/
Man, it's not what you think/
So, real life ain't really what it seems/
‘Cause everybody got a motive/
Got an angel on my shoulder/
And I know you’re lookin’ down on me.

(Chorus)

(Outro - TLNTD)
