[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
