Everytime I feel like I'll be fine I hear somebody died I'm in church while my niggas fighting homicides God's given time it's the gift of life Live it right cause you'll never get to live it twice How many sins did i write how many switching sides How many dead before they prime how did I spend my time It's the gift of life the gift of life Live it right cause we'll never get to live It twice Who am I kidding I'm still too fucking wicked To act like I'm a saved Christian i desperately seek repentance My penance was expressing my pain not put you in it Thought music was a way I can pin it if I can pen it The youth listens to every word and they learn from it From my art what influences can emerge from it It's my words coming from a life that hurt something Will my passion lose value if I turn from it? Everytime I feel like I'll be fine I hear somebody died I'm in church while my niggas fighting homicides God's given time it's the gift of life Live it right cause you'll never get to live it twice How many sins did i write how many switching sides How many dead before they prime how did I spend my time It's the gift of life the gift of life Live it right cause we'll never get to live It twice I can't stay up out it tryna market my life to escape up out it And if they hate they doubt it I'm left restrained with power I rap what I lived to stay that way is coward I got into this shit to embrace the change from out it I used to laugh at people who I thought was punks How the f*ck is you man depending on someone for lunch But I was dumb thought strength was just in a punch Vulnerability is brave I'm too comfortable being tough Everytime I feel like I'll be fine I hear somebody died I'm in church while my niggas fighting homicides God's given time it's the gift of life Live it right cause you'll never get to live it twice How many sins did i write how many switching sides How many dead before they prime how did I spend my time It's the gift of life the gift of life Live it right cause we'll never get to live It twice In a chamber when I should've got my racks up Then I could pay my bail and be back up Or I could've listened when the the preacher told me not to be victim to the system I guess I could've had love All I had as an incentive was fighting and getting guns If I got a bullet waiting they got more than one All those mornings I was mourning when there's more to come Blinded by the light staring directly at the morning's son If you green lit you a sweet lick Better learn to fight or waste your money getting teeth fixed No I never once turned the other cheek Come to learn the strength of God was always given to the weak All knowledge belongs to whose willing to listen Money belongs to whose willing to get it Salvation is to those who seeks repentance Love plus time equals attention Forgive me God when death is my beginning
