Dope sold on the cut make our hands bleed

f**k broke it ain't an option, penitentiary

Or the grave is the only way we fall back

Do our time A.T.W then crawl back

To them streets where we come from taught life

Look alive know niggas better walk right

Real with it quick trigger finger gun play

I only know how to deal with these niggas one way

And someday I swear to God I'mma change that

But I can't cause them evil demons came back

And when I'm high y'all I can't explain

What it feels like wishing I could die and just end the pain

'Cause mane I've been a loyal dude and you can trust that

But loyalty versus greed equals f**k that

I need to talk but there ain't no one to listen

Lost inside a mental exorcism

And wishing



Sometimes I close my eyes trying to hide from the pain

Things in my past are catching up fast living life against the grain

Just one time I wanna clear my mind the silence seems so loud

If I could I would fly away and live my life beyond the grey cloud



I woke up from a dream feeling all good

Prayed for better days ahead but what was yall doing

Lost, stuck in a stand still waiting for a hand out

Hustling for tennis shoe paper never panned out

My sister tripping got my grandmother stressing

'Cause shes only 17 and shes already pregnant

Another segment of them ghetto soap operas

Bg's is tripping ain't nothing left to stop them

Uncle in jail daddy dead and their mamma's

Can't teach them how to be men; grow up being followers

The streets swallow them then life overpower them

Then off to the pen where the old heads devour them

Crash tested a dummy high volume

Only God can judge but y'all niggas is comical

90 percent of our future's off in prison

Prescription for my mental exorcism

And listen



Sometimes I close my eyes trying to hide from the pain

Things in my past are catching up fast living life against the grain

Just one time I wanna clear my mind the silence seems so loud

If I could I would fly away and live my life beyond the grey cloud



Another kid killed in cold blood a mothers heart broke

Family crying on the first few my heart spoke

Hurtful words I would never dare speak

In the house of the lord still I'm in the devils reach

I don't wanna hear the preacher preach that shit a lie

Plus he knowing how that evil be, but who am I

To judge a man when I see him try

FOX news tried to justify him

And ain't no way that you can clarify

In cold blood our lil homies dying

Another sign of the times but it's terrifying

That you could kill us off have us outlined in chalk

Get arrested go to jail go to court and get the f**k off

That shit is f**ked off we worried about the money lost

While the clans about to light another cross

I ain't denying it I speak from intuition

It's also from my mental exorcism

And wisdom



Sometimes I close my eyes trying to hide from the pain

Things in my past are catching up fast living life against the grain

Just one time I wanna clear my mind the silence seems so loud

If I could I would fly away and live my life beyond the grey cloud
