I was so young, I was exposed to liquor and drugs
I cannot blame the ones that I love
I cannot drag their name through the mud
But it was painful watching you drown
I couldn't save you
How about now?
How about I, just carry your pain?
How about you put some respect on my name?
How about giving me back all my time?
You were just bringing the shade to my shine
F*ck it I'm tired, I'm drawing the line
Nevermind "our world", this is mine
Start to decline, start to relapse
Popping a pill, start to relax
Life is a test, yes, did I qualify?
Nah, all of my efforts they nullify
Like, you didn't make it
Life is the greatest, you didn't make it though
You and I go, straight up suicidal, watch me land on my neck til I break it bro
I will never be replaced you know
Well on my way to the greatest though
Dig a hole so you can sleep on me further, I never did it for the fame, you know?
Life is a bitch
How come the good die young?
How come the bad die old?
How come the youth buy guns?
How come the streets ain't safe?
Why can't I leave my place?
Without the thought that I
Might just be robbed, then die?
How come they kill you when you're doing well?
Why would they put your whole family through hell?
Shit is too crazy, I know you can tell
Shot to the head, a body just fell
City is cold, but it's okay
Well that's at least what our residents say
People ain't shit, just get off my d*ck
Man none of our children can get out to play
They're too involved, in killing of souls
Chop off your head, their hearts are too cold
I feel our minds are being controlled
Catching a body's like catching a cold
Nothing to say - I'm just amazed
Step in my way, I'll step in your face
Step in my place - and shit'll be cool
How come our children ain't even in school?
F*ck is you telling me?
Saying you'd end me like rapidly, if you don't f*ck with my energy
Shot through the head, we're lacking telepathy
We got a system allowing our dawgs to go and kill for a bowl of that pedigree
How do we live? Life is too challenging
How you forgive yourself, when actually
Breaking the heart of a family?
Like, you didn't make it
Life is the greatest, you didn't make it though
All I can say is, life is the greatest
You didn't make it though
You didn't make it
Life is the greatest, you didn't make it though
All I can say is, life is the greatest
You didn't make it though
