[Verse 1: Ab-Soul]
Black-lip ba*tard, destined to be a ba*tard Crip
But I pa**ed on it to make cla**ic hits
I pray I'm forgiven for not being down or
Putting the work in that certain n***as did, reason behind they service
In the pen partially why I don't write
I just pull it out the wind, sometime I can't sleep at night
I be thinking 'bout my friends, know they up to no good, it's all bad
I seen the yellow tape at Del's and almost had a heart attack
You never know with this sh**, I don't understand
Kids carry cannons on Instagram, but crying when the cuffs on they hands
It's out my hands, it's two sides to every story
And I ain't a judge or signed up for jury duty
My youth was stolen moving too quick, it's sick, though
Cause Vince know what I know now when I'm 26
We still moving further, hope seeds grow to be
Trees and not just bushes hiding burners
[Hook]
Can I live without k**ing y'all?
Please
Can I live without k**ing y'all?
Please
Can I live without k**ing y'all?
Can I live without k**ing y'all?
Can I live without k**ing y'all?
Can I live without--
[Verse 2: Vince Staples]
Call the gang unit, they know the name, foolie
I truly was built for the sh**
I'm in the ring cooling right by where the enemies live
You know you can't k** a giant with a lucky shot
Aim for the head when you f** with God Jehovah
I hopefully be speaking the colder the beat, snitching
We doming your niece, homies as cold as police
Momma had told us as kids never to sh** where you eat
And got a clip for the heat, .357, I think I'm Itch Dawg
n***as know I'm 65 'til I'm six feet
Under where they took us undercovers parked on Orizaba
Dogs up in the yard of the abandoned where we hide the choppers
I couldn't hide from the Karma, you see, it followed me
f** it! Get it cracking in public, these n***as rap for the fashion
They want the mansion, they puppets
A puppet master will bust and that chamber talk but I'm muzzled
[Hook]
