David Banner - My Life lyrics

[Chorus] I can hear it in the cold of the night, ya'll n***as wanna take ma life (oh) I been tryin ta do right, but they still wanna take ma life (oh) I can hear it in the cold fo the night, ya'll n***as wanna take ma life (oh) I been tryin ta do right, but they still wanna take ma life (oh) I can feel it in the night time I say the lord gave life, but these n***as wanna take mine I heard it through the grapevine They ain't have to feel, they'd rather see me burnin in hell, n that's the truth They'll set you up got proof, think about the 12 dicipes What one traitor did to christ, for small cheese And they'll do it to me, damn and they'll do it to you It only takes one in your crew To co*k back, black, and take ya life from you To co*k back, black, and take ya life from you Damn [Chorus] Think about the slave trade, we sold our own jus' to get paid And now adays it's tha same thang, let ya braids hang White folks contributed, to gang bang Gain, dope slang, gain, mayn But we all some thugs The same one that you love will k** ya a** for d** Come to the funeral with kisses and hugs For ya mom, ya sister, ya brother and all And really all they wanted was to see you fall Bestfriend dead for this n***a can ball Bestfriend dead so tha streets can ball Damn [Chorus] Sometimes I tend to lose my faith I'm askin' god to hear ma case If you could see it through ma eyes They all wanna see me meet my dimize I feel alone to lose my mind Beggin' god jus' send me a sign Tryna do the best that I can Be a man and follow gods plan I been tryin' to do right but n***as wanna take my life I been tryin' to do right and n***as wanna take my life
