[Verse 1]
Shit, I been lost for a while, praying to God, hope I make it (Swear to God)
The judge heartless, he won't remember our faces
No father figure, was looking up to the pavement
Seen I was down and you let me live in the basement
My observations, we know that he made a statement
Season switching, it's brazy, the nigga's the one that's changin'
All we know is we banging like nigga, I'm labeled a caveman
Can't consult with snitches, you greet 'em, I leave 'em hangin', nigga
Your nigga turned to a witness, you let him come around
You got shot by stock clip, you had a hundred rounds
Just to look at my kicks, you know I f*ck around
And these from Paris, comparison, I'ma dumb you down
Having dreams of a hundred thou', I don't need all the run-around
Shoot at him, how you coming now? Bullets is all they f*cking found
Don't think it's over, I promise you I'ma hunt him down
Niggas' moms used to hate me, they call me honey now
This shit I been through would have you questioning Jesus
Sowed a niggas, I wonder when I'ma reap it
Gave a couple niggas my hundred and they ain't keep it
Type of suckers wanna talk about fading like we ain't beefing
Knew you wasn't loyal, you gave me multiple reasons
I believed it, but my mind and my heart ain't come to agreement
Hopefully I ain't leaking when I run into my demons
I keep it all on my person, I refuse to catch a beating, nigga
[Chorus]
This ain't the life we chose but it's the life we know
It's alright, we grow
It's thirty shots in the pole, in summertime, it be snow
And in the hood it's always winter, so I keep my coat
Hey, rest in peace my hopes, rest in peace my rights
But I keep my stripes, them people know I'ma fight
They tryna dim my lights, I met with death like twice
But I just told him if they get me, I'ma squeeze my pipe
Rest in peace all life
[Verse 2]
Really banging through these trials and tribulations
Why you steady complaining? For surely a mental patient
Karate kickin' with Jaden, I love when I hear 'em hatin'
Hottest up out the streets, I'm for surely funkin' with satan
I'm hopin' that he die on the way, it'd be amazing
Guess he didn't get the memo that niggas ain't into fading
She tryna carry my baby before we dating
Couple years ago, these bitches would bang it, I never slanged 'em, nigga
Now she on me, I'm juking her, Walter Payton
I don't f*ck with the pork, but I'll turn y'all homie to bacon
Geeking in the sky got me thinking I could've saved 'em
Thinking diamonds are forever so y'all don't need a replacement
They say your dreams is whatever a nigga make it
They gave my nigga 12 with no other choice but to face it
What you think about me got nothing to do with basic
I've been bummy all my life, with the money, I had to chase it, nigga
[Chorus]
This ain't the life we chose but it's the life we know
It's alright, we grow
It's thirty shots in the pole, in summertime, it be snow
And in the hood it's always winter, so I keep my coat
Rest in peace my hopes, rest in peace my rights
But I keep my stripes, them people know I'ma fight
They tryna dim my lights, I met with death like twice
But I just told him if they get me, I'ma squeeze my pipe
Rest in peace all life
