O.S.Y.B Lyrics

[Verse 1 : Doms Gauge]
I was born in '93
I'm the youngest of all my siblings
My closest bro had a big influence on how I did things
But I was only 13, he was barely over 16
When he overdosed
That goes to show these drugs can get addicting
I know this isn't a pretty picture I'm depicting
That's why lately
I've been scared to pick my phone up when the shit rings
Cause it seems, that all the good die young
Then younger people look at that and think it looks like fun
So this is for the ones we've lost up in a horrible way
That don't get properly remembered on memorial day
For the loving family members that are mourning in pain
While grave plots are covered by assorted floral displays
What more can I say
I've seen a lot in only 20 years
Staring at these empty beers
Wondering if the end is near
But I don't shed a tear
21's around the corner
In this game of life I'll play it till it's out of order

[Hook : Doms Gauge]
We live, we die
I've seen so much in such little time
I've been low, I've been high
Yeah this life is a wild ride
I've had to face my darkest fears
They say I'm wise way beyond my years
And I'm not slowing down for no one, try and come stop me I'm an Old Soul in a Young Body

[Verse 2 : Doms Gauge]
We live
Then we kick the bucket and die
So I'm buckling up for the ride
Shutting my eyes and wondering why
Why are we struggling just to survive?
Why am I thinking that love is lie?
Why does it feel like the more that we wanna do good
Is the more f*cking trouble we find?
Drugs corrupting our minds
I've lost so many friends to this
It's getting hard to reminisce
Without feeling the emptiness
The empathy and sentiments
Let me breath and vent a bit
They said to take the wheel
But me I'm tryna reinvent the shit
I heard a change was coming but I can't believe it is
The world's still killing themselves getting cancer breathing cigs
So how the f*ck you go and tell your family and kids
Were all gonna die but do we get a chance to even live?
So when you're down and you don't know what to do
You should just be listening to my story cause I wrote it for you
See death is coming
And that's something that I've known since my youth
I learned from Gang Starr, we all must meet our moment of truth

[Hook]
