Life is Brief Ma'
(Verse 1)
A child dies and another is born
2 mothers who suffers who won and who lost
Who loves us, who really ready to do justice
Overdue pay from fines that move upwards
All along I thought that you would need me in your thoughts
These days I guess it's better off you need me gone
My highest highs came right after my lowest lows Ride or dies die before they ride and so it goes
So what it snows, you ain't know the cold till everybody looking at you like a obstacle
In the hospital holding on my mama's hand,
She broke her sternum i got off and only broke my hand
When your broke you don't wanna go broke again everybody paying for my food like a homeless man
God damn what has changed now you wonder why I'm different tell me any other way out
(Hook)
And your trunk stood tall
And your roots grew deep
And I'd hoped I wasn't barking up the wrong tree Ma
And your fruitful thoughts
Hung so plump from the leaves
Your truth could never be false
Life is brief Ma
(Verse 2)
Walls are made to be knocked down A Junkie got knocked up right after she's knocked out I walk round Miranda as its bringing back a memory We walk a seperate path but you'll always have a friend in me
Stand tall if your gonna stand next to me
So many brothers I done lost from a recipe, Crack c**aine is a hell of a drug
You wet the bed at my house don't ever think I forgot nah
I act humble to a drunk but it's hard man
It's jungle sometimes And I'm no Tarzan
You're going far Can, it's what they tell me
But deep in their eyes i see it's harder to feel me through year 11 and 12
I couldn't wait for the bell,
So I could go for a skate and light a jay by myself
I was hated by many And I was loved by few
You know the feeling when they hit ya cos theirs nothing to do
(Hook)
And your trunk stood tall
And your roots grew deep
And I'd hoped I wasn't barking up the wrong tree Ma
And your fruitful thoughts
Hung so plump from the leaves
Your truth could never be false
Life is brief Ma
(Verse 3)
Just f**ed a b**h in the back of her car
sh** was restricted but still my dick was hard
Feeling empty it's harder to hold a convo at this point
I got what I wanted let me cash out like a invoice, I've
Never felt more shallow in my life and with enough shadow she could camo in the night I swear for a nano second I was f**ing you
As I question when He f**ed ya if you thunk of me too yeah
It took a while but you found out I was insecure Kick a Can into the gutter as it stumbles in the sewer
Unsure feeling like I'm not good enough If I don't put you down I feel like your just putting up
Years of not belonging formed a mad chip
I ate it whole and I'm still hungry as fat b**h Drastic change only came with the weather caught aflame in the rain and the fame ain't make it better
Say my name say my name, baby say my name
Say the things that you'll never get to say again
Say I've changed like you've seen everything I've seenYou can say a lot and you don't even have to say a thing
It took a while but I got back from the North shore
Back to the south as I'm back in my poor form
Stressed out lack of sleep got me on the brink
Washed my hands couldn't tell ya what was on the sink My problems seem small when I think of my bro
Saw his mum on street no longer living at home Yo
What the f** I'm tryna cry about
My fridge is full and my roof is all tiled out Women come and go they won't love me till I love myself
She loved the way the he lied and he loved someone else ain't that a trip
Ain't that a whip
Cracking on a back of another lost b**hTo my youth struggling to find the truth of it all Keep one eye to the sky and keep one eye on the ball
Keep your third to the earth and observe the whole world And
keep and open mind it's hard to smile when it's closed
