Young Taylor - D.W.T.W. lyrics

[Part 1: Produced by Young Taylor] [Intro: Byron] Whatever… Rina, turn me up a little Let it ride out I kind of feel like everything is running its course But this might be the last chance I get So, I'm not quite finished yet… [Verse: Byron] Promise me that we won't be miserable if we make it Couple of people turned their backs and that's life, where's the respect? Never failed at giving my all, still they're stripping me naked Honesty will turn a friend to a foe, foot on they're neck Nah, who's supposed to come to your aid whenever you need something? Foolish pride made you a slave, homie, you're greed drunken Only word engraved on my tombstone is destiny Honestly, I often miss you next to me, but that's just me Don't have time for walking around feeling sorry I feel like dying but won't be joining your pity party I remained me far longer than you How am I weak or a coward, when I'm stronger than you? Remaining Byron is my claim to fame, I know the fake's for hire They took the chains; we brought them back, the situation's dire And I'm just trying to find my place within the madness I'll keep going for my babies till the day that I get tired [Hook: Byron] For the love of the money? For the lust? For the cars? Listen, you ain't gotta stunt, dawg You ain't gotta stunt, dawg Nah, you ain't gotta stunt, dawg Not afraid of you just because you have a gun, dawg You can shoot first, and you'll feel like a man up until your time comes, dawg Tell them I won't last forever [Verse: Byron] Nothing but stab wounds in my back, that's why I lack trust Don't worry though, I no longer bleed, I close back up Scary hours Take lead showers around this time Ain't no putting out this fire, I'm in a permanent prime How's it feel knowing that my demons are k**ing me slow? And there's nothing you can do to save me, feelings elope? Feeling helpless, feel like I'm selfish, what does it matter? Keep your cold mugs out of my face, or get them shattered Freaking leeches, I can spot you from a mile away Mindful of intuition, trying to seek friends was my mistake A couple people sneak dissing, they're remixing my old flows, too much But keeping focus on them will give us less time to do us You're trying to be somebody, but ever think of your health? How am I to care about you if you don't care for yourself? Where the love at? Utter my last rebu*tal, I struggle to cope But I'll never give up on my cousin, cause her love is my hope ‘Merica the beautiful, everyone is thinking like a dead man Live it up, but what about the future though? Look at my generation and I wonder where the love's at? I look at my people and I wonder where the love's at? I look at my country and I wonder where the love's at? One for all till we all die and the guns blast Rina's in front of me wondering when the pain stops Until then, I guess it's nothing but rain drops [Hook: Byron] [Outro: Byron] Love yours Love yours Tell them I won't last forever Don't be afraid Don't be afraid [Interlude: Byron (Marina)] Byron: Sometimes when I'm lying in bed, I wonder, at what point am I supposed to be done with this world? The problems are right in front of us, but tensions are so high that we really can't do anything. That upsets me, because I don't who'd I be if something happened to either one of you girls Marina: Shhh [Part 2: Produced by Jukebox Joints] [Intro: Byron] It's difficult not to think about things like this I know some of you probably think I grew up differently than you But odds are, we came up in the same environment I just somehow managed to get avoid it all Now, things are getting worse, and as a kid, I didn't even think that was possible But I thought, if there are two things that I've always done extremely well, it's read and write Two years later, I'm getting fan mail about how I helped someone through a difficult time, and it's insane That's a lot to take in [Verse: Byron] For a minute, I thought it was never ending when something this freaking good calls Yeah, it took balls for you to try building my self esteem I barely could walk around school, every warm embrace I would push off But it reminded me of just how much something this good cost My best intentions uncaring if I would look soft Whether I'm from a hood or I'm daring enough to just talk I had to think about all the drama it would cause Deep inside, I admired the fact you stood tall But I also noticed how quiet you always would fall whenever something was wrong Maybe I'm over thinking these urges I get It's murder after murder, what's to stop them from hurting my friends? You get a certain feeling when I say the real is all it took to k** you Let's be honest, because they would rather cheer the unfamiliar Rina, Aaliyah, Nayzia, Jeileen are my heartbeat So, I'm coming right for where your thoughts be I'll tell you straight up [Hook: Byron] When the sun goes down, tell me what you live for Because I don't see change round here To be honest, I just see a lot a chains round here Gold nooses, love ain't a thing round here, whoa I don't have a lot of time left Being afraid to love is childish You know we're all blessed You'll be leaking here nothing, so love yours Cause if it's your last hour, then you know we're bout to stress so hard [Verse: Byron] I'd ride for you I'd die for you Take a hollow to the eye, Carl Grimes for you Feelings I bottle inside like nothing explode Those feelings corrode my mind, but still I try for you Sometimes I feel I don't make enough time for you Been optimistic, but I'm tired, true From me to you, I say don't worry bout it M.O.E. is the reason why every morgue is crowded More money, more lust and violence, important to trust in guidance There's a war going on outsid People would rather swallow kids than pride I hate you have to be a part of it, cause you're the closest I'll get to a daughter Just to let you know Aaliyah, innocence, the world will slaughter it Black thoughts rooted in my mind, thinking what would Jesus do? Because what you see is what the greed will do My friends, I hope it never comes for us, from me to you Pump your breaks before I do you like I have the key to you [Hook: Byron] [Verse: Byron] Don't ever let me hear you call me a GOAT, I'm re-reminding We don't care about that ish around here, I'm being honest Every word is like a speeding bullet taken to the streets Push a bu*ton, let chaos erupt and history repeats Watch me open up Pandora's Box again I'm looking at life, like what do we do when they finally box us in? Left and right, there's people losing oxygen Been ducking trouble since my childhood, they ain't think I could win A couple of million won't ever conceal the pain My only wish is a hug from my friends; make sure this isn't in vain They'll put a price tag on your soul, we're all dying Lord forgive me if I'm ready to go, I'll be done trying one day I hope you see me as Byron and nothing more Every day I hear the sound of siren And that'll cause me to become numb and no longer care about rain drops Because I know that when I'm done is when the rain stops [Hook: Byron]
