[Verse 1: Pre-Def]
He was on coke
Lately all broke
Rap was his game, his only last hope
But don't mention any names staying faithful to the game
Life is too short no one would stay the same
And thank god I stopped life was too close from f**ery
Vicously in beds all these n***as do is sleep
And so bad I can't sleep
In dissent cause these n***as out there think they're hot as me
Got a call from my sis'
And she told me 'bout a n***a that died, once I knew
Overdose of coke that n***a think he cool
n***a better watch your back
Cause even the ones you work with talk sh** behind on your back
Never trust a n**' put a sign on your back
Probably the whackest sh** that I wrote
They won't listen to a n**', press fast forward
[Hook: Epic Laine]
Just a youngin' on the grind
Fell to the ground one too many times
Smiles all around here, can you hear the cries
Nothing's ever clear
More than meets the eye
Road to the top
Man on a mission
Caught up in a chase of a strobe pole glisten
Tryna make it out of this sh** alive
Concrete jungle, only real Gs survive
[Verse 2: Epic Laine]
It's easy starting something
Pursuing it's a challenge
Especially when you hurt someone
When you ain't even planned it
My hate for comittment fuelled my dimise and anguish
Im tryna learn from my mistakes and hope I barely salvaged
My negligence and my demeanour did all the damage
Still ask myself questions
'Bout how all this sh** happened
Wish i'd done things different
Had my sh** better handled
Instead of makin things happen
I fell back and watched the dust settle
Lost out on what could've been mine
And left empty handed
Thinking of all I should've done
And how I denied myself happiness Memories is all i got
A while ago i could've lived this
Time waits for no man it's always hard to learn a lesson
Eye your next attack
Before the feds show you they ain't really got your back
[Hook]
