Life goes on in the streets of my hood when you die But some cry and gets by, while others choose to wonder why His life was took at such an early age A young nigga who lived in a rage died by the gage He used to hustle on the street corners His mom would always beg him to quit but he didn't wanna As he got older, he got even worse 'Til a real nigga showed him the purpose of a hearse A cold night in his hood, he had a tangle The brother he was squabblin' with, had broke his ankle Laid him out in the driveway Some people knew he wouldn't survive but hey I ain't the one to speak up on another's All I can do is try to open his eyes and help the brother He chose the wrong way and that's the route he took Born and brought up as an angel but he died as a crook He had a baby that he couldn't raise And she will never see her father again 'cause he's in a grave I always think about [unverified] "My daddy was a dopeman, so I'ma be a dope dealer" How will the family explain it? "My daughter had a baby for a 'caine head!" He ain't around to see her walk Dry her eyes when she cries, pick her up when she falls Just the thought of a kid livin' fly fucks me up When his girl has to raise a bastard child It gets deeper, he used to punch her and beat her She was loyal to his ass but accused as a cheater She had a good deck but she picked the wrong card Had a kid, now she's realizin' life is hard A big time dope dealer's all she wanted Who drove a Jag or a Benz so she could flaunt it The situation's got me guessin' But the answer remains to be a question He lived his life in a lie I guess you only get a minute to pray, and a second to die It was crazy how it happened Some niggaz rolled by in the Riviera cappin' All I could see was a pistol spittin' rounds And the boy was just screamin' as he fell to the ground A woman yelled, get an ambulance But I knew he was dead, he didn't stand a chance You shoulda seen him, he was scared A bullet goes to his chest and one to his head He just laid there in silence and all I heard was the sirens Paramedics pulled up Followed by a law man and then came a firetruck Put his ass on the stretcher But if he survives, I'm willin' to betcha He'll be out for revenge They patched him up within a week he was back at it again Went to his brother on the North side Grab your shit, it's a hit, we're gonna take a long ride Packed it up in the trunk AK-47, M-11 and a pump Rolled by [unverified] on Scott Street School was lettin' out "Yo, you ain't gonna shoot yet?" "Watch me!" Opened his trunk and grabbed a shotgun He shot him Put his tooly on the front seat Continued his mission, as he headed down the street The kids was just starin' at each other J.D. rolled by and smoked black's brother Reached in his coat and grabbed a 'port Full speed down Reed, shot his mom on the porch On his way down Cullard His brother was just dazed in a shock, "Why you do it?" "Why you shot his moms Jay? Shit" "He, he, he, he, he hah man fuck that bitch" Went to the store to use the pay phone Called up Mack, "Aiyyo J.D. Homey" Hung it up and rolled down Dagger Headin' for the nigga he was after By the time he arrived at the scene Malcolm was ready for anything He tried to sneak around the back way Never thought of bein' taken out on that day Black boy, black coat Stood around the corner as he passed slit his throat He didn't fall so he fired One to the middle of his skull, he's expired A whole army came out Twenty-seven niggaz all strapped out of one house That how it happens in the acre One nigga died in the park in the paper Shit gets deeper but why? I guess you only get a minute to pray and a second to die

We tear the city down on Friday night Caught up on the Vandy girl, slow dance in the Tennessee moonlight I got my hair slicked back and my boots on singing I got my own six pack my old six string yeah I swear to God it's gonna be my weekend Go on and light a match here while we're drinking Start a bonfire 2am we ain't even tired We on the roof we're going higher and higher Up in flames even rain can't end this Got this party lit like a bonfire We stumble from the bar to my backyard Will keep this fire burning it doesn't matter where we are Throw a Shotgun back with my fists up singing Another Bottle of Jack light a match start a bonfire We'll be our own bartenders making memories we wont remember, Popping off on this back porch bender Were never growing-up we will never surrender

I can't hear you I can't hear you Anymore on the floor with the lights down Keeping quiet 'cause I snuck into your house I want the way you laugh when you get way too drunk And I want us Waking up at ten I could feel you in my arms You were never late to work But never worked too hard And then you turn to say I don't ever want to leave I'll stay here with you Just stay here with me (yeah) Do you remember then Back when we were just friends?

I can't hear you I can't hear you Anymore on the floor with the lights down Keeping quiet 'cause I snuck into your house I want the way you laugh when you get way too drunk I want us I want us Do you remember the night we spent Talking about The little dreams you had Growing up And how you knew they'd never come True You said you wanted a family And a big white house With a creek in the back Running through a small town And you knew that I, oh, I Wouldn't want the same You said I'm meant for the city I'm meant for that fight The 60th floor The neon lights And you tried To want that life But don't you know What love can do To a man like me When he only wants you? It makes you wrong It changed my life I want the big white house I wanna make you my wife I want us I want tough I want the late night fights about trust I wanna scream at the top of my lungs Can you hear me? I can't hear you I can't hear you Anymore on the floor with the lights down Keeping quiet 'cause I snuck into your house I want the way you laugh when you get way too drunk I want us In the middle of the rain in the morning By the river in the middle of the night Know where to run, when you want to, I want to I want us I want us I want us I want us I want us

The ocean in your eyes I'm drowning I don't mind You're Reaching for my drink Just to watch me sink And You ain't tryna hide That ink Running down your side The cursive in your curves Making me wanna be that verse Oh Gotta get you alone Oh Cause I gotta know What it means Where it goes Does your mama know Were you young Were you drunk Are there anymore You're the perfect canvas Gotta see it with my hands Gotta know Where you begin And that tattoo ends Those roses on your ribs Wanna lay em on the bed I can take all night Tracing every line Cause Baby, in the dark You're a work of art You Put the Mona Lisa to shame And I can't look away Oh Now that We're all alone Oh I just gotta know Don't have to be an accidental temporary thing Lets make it permanent More than skin deep

It was the end of that Indian Summer Leaves just starting to fall We drove down to the bank of the River For really no reason at all And we talked a little And drank a little from a twist top bottle wine And I don't remember exactly when we Lost all track of time It was you next to me Laying underneath A small town sundown sky I was feeling you breathe And falling in deeper Every time a plane flew by Starlight rain drippin down your hair I was all in right then right there Lost in the night couldn't keep my eyes off you Watching You Hang The Moon Couldn't find a station on the dial that didn't float in and out So we danced to the sound of that water And two hearts beating out loud Those stars were higher The night was brighter with every move you made And I kept my eyes wide open Cause I just couldn't look away It was you next to me Laying underneath A small town sundown sky I was feeling you breathe And falling in deeper Every time a plane flew by Starlight rain drippin down your hair I was all in right then right there Lost in the night couldn't keep my eyes off you Watching You Hang The Moon It's still shining It's still shining like that night when It was you next to me Laying underneath A small town sundown sky I was feeling you breathe And falling in deeper Every time a plane flew by Starlight rain drippin down your hair I was all in right then right there Lost in the night couldn't keep my eyes off you Watching You Hang The Moon

We fell asleep sideways on your bed I'm still awake watching your eyes rest You Put your makeup on just to take it off But it's still good when it's gone My shirts hanging on the door Your dress is laying on the floor You looked like heaven with it on But it's still good when it's gone Some things keep on giving When they're gone, yeah, you don't miss 'em Still riding high on midnight memories One thing I can take away from all the better days Is that they're ours to have, but not to keep That's why we take pictures and write songs Cause it's good when it's gone Like that bottle we killed, you always loved Malibu Like the stars we counted from a Beach towel on your roof A high that I'm still on, like summer when it's gone Ohhh Even though you're gone I got those pictures and you got this song We're all just trying to hold on Cause it's good when it's gone

"Good at it" Girl you know what you're doing looking at me like that I know we just met but I never wanted somethin so bad We're up to no good I wouldnt change it if I could Let's not complicate it Falling in the back of a taxi Rollin around in the backseat Wreckless on the town tonight Couldn't care less cause we're doing it right Singing every song that we don't know Making it up as we go along You and me Are More like a habit Up to no good While We're getting good at it This ain't a game, but im feeling like we can't lose Tell the driver don't stop till we tell him to We're up to no good I wouldnt change it if I could Let's not complicate it Falling in the back of a taxi Rollin around in the backseat Wreckless on the town tonight Couldn't care less cause we're doing it right Singing every song that we don't know Making it up as we go along You and me Are More like a habit Up to no good While We're getting good at it Can't sit still Gotta change it up What's wrong with that What's wrong with us These days are numbered baby Don't spend tonight alone
