[From Empire TV series soundtrack]
It's a cold war, put that on ice
The devil like to come out and play at night
I try live my life, right do that twice
But when it all went wrong, I knew you were right
Street for label to a chill ??? had you caged
Them gorillas, blood money from a dope dealer
Tell me how the hell to post a deal with ya?
God bless your soul 'cause you're going now
All this forgiven 'cause I'm grown now
Gotta make it out my own hell now
I put the pin up, and put the gun down
Every word spoken never went in vain
Speaking to the world, take away my pain
They say you live once, then you go with the shame
I guess I'm saying the same
Should've never left, oh why?
Tell me why you had to leave me, oh why?
I had to go, I had to go
Should've never left, oh why?
Tell me why you had to leave me, oh why?
I had to go, I had to go
Tryina keep the grip on my sanity, right?
They don't really know the cost to this life
The hurt, the hunger, the time never right
Got to k** it everything not in place
