Bloody Knowledge - Wasting Away Lyrics

Twenty eight years ago a man was murdered in cold blood
It happened so fast he never got to hold his own son
At eighteen he lost his life for simply wanting to get away
He was my father and I'll never let it down to this day
Spanish Cobras and Folks can suck a dick homie I don't play
I joined up with People I'm Stone all the motherf*ckin way
It's not what he was have wanted but my life is a play
A plague destined by tragedy every day I pray to God
Or I look to the Quran for answers I'm Hakeem Al-Assad
Whatever it takes that I don't kill these motherf*ckas in the street
Searching for answers to no avail, in jail, if I killem all I know I won't make bail

Yeah I'm wasting away out here right now
Yeah I'm wasting away
Yeah, I said I'm wasting away out here right now
Yeah I'm wasting away
Yeah, I'm wasting away out here right now
Yeah I'm wasting away
Yeah I'm wasting away

Death by a long shot he wore green and I wore red
We're bred in the streets rest in peace to all the dead
I decided to walk away from that life cause what's the point
It doesn't matter what color everybody dies in Detroit
But if I had to kill a hundred dudes to get my dad back
Bet your ass that God will have a hard time keeping track
Bodies flooding in left and right with no end in sight
Bullets flying hitting head and face yo witness my might
Put up a fight it's my right to light his ass up tight
I'm doing this tonight I'm about to reach some kind of new height
The truth is nothing is going to be him back
But he was my father and I'm about to snap
I don't f*cking care

Yeah I'm wasting away out here right now
Yeah I'm wasting away
Yeah, I said I'm wasting away out here right now
Yeah I'm wasting away
Yeah, I'm wasting away out here right now
Yeah I'm wasting away
Yeah I'm wasting away

You don't know what it's like in this life until you lose someone to it
You don't know what it's like in the life until you going through it
Don't get caught lacking or fronting about something you not
Talking about what you did or what you got motherf*ckas will show you who you not
PTSD is a short fall from what has developed in me
RIP to the next victim your life is not something that I envy
Quick and painless is what I pray for a lot homie
I tell God to just end me even if I have to get shot homie
I'm exhausted and I've never been to my father grave
That kills me inside but I know I gotta be brave
My daughter expects superman when I walk through that door
Not a criminal loser raging and calling her mom a f*cking whore
So believe me when I say this life isn't something to be romanticized
Your father's death and the events that followed to be fantasized
So stay out of trouble and go to school and be somebody great
Make your parents proud and instead of suffering my kind of fate

Yeah I'm wasting away out here right now
Yeah I'm wasting away
Yeah, I said I'm wasting away out here right now
Yeah I'm wasting away
Yeah, I'm wasting away out here right now
Yeah I'm wasting away
Yeah I'm wasting away
