Let me tell you 'bout a thing that's been goin' round here
See death is a constant whisperin' in your ear
So you better be cautious when you come 'round here
Murder is the method reckless you just might disappear
'Cause you lookin' like some breakfast and the wolf smell fear
We can hear your heart pound as soon as you come near
Welcome to my hood where we seldom see good
Mama did it by herself did the best that she could
Raisin' two black boys hope knock on wood
When she let us go outside we be playin' and playin'
And get dark outside they be sprayin' and sprayin'
So we gotta hit the ground granny prayin' and prayin'
Lord in heaven please protect my children
Keep 'em safe from harm when they play off of the building
Keep 'em safe from harm don't need another gun killin'
But tonight might be the night 'cause I keep gettin' a strange feelin'
It look like it look like it might be that moment
No life my whole life by demons I've been haunted
It look like it look like it might be that moment
Death and disaster that envy upon us
It look like it look like it might be that moment
No life my whole life by demons I've been haunted
It look like it look like it might be that moment
Death and disaster that envy upon us
My story was different backwoods livin'
Woods were my church only way to hear a bishop
With median income it's poverty level streets brought trauma
Unstable no bank these shovels twenty below
No no nowhere to go but inside domestic violence was home
Lord keep me safe I'm on once I enter those doors
Who's that strange man pray I don't set him off
Parents tried hard both single with two jobs
But jeans had holes and history with alcohol
Don't wanna dig up dirt from my roots believe
I'm tryna redirect branches on that family tree
Don't grab that bottle mix that drink
I try new minds except the ones I think
And right in my room I would stay in it sayin' it
Boombox I was playin' those names in it
Daydreaming nightmares went away and I made it
From the bottom all the way through the pain
Ice cold nights now I'm slayin' it slayin' it
What I'm sayin' I'm sayin' is
It look like it look like it might be that moment
No life my whole life by demons I've been haunted
It look like it look like it might be that moment
Death and disaster that envy upon us
It look like it look like it might be that moment
No life my whole life by demons I've been haunted
It look like it look like it might be that moment
Death and disaster that envy upon us
It look like it look like it might be that moment
No life my whole life by demons I've been haunted
It look like it look like it might be that moment
Death and disaster that envy upon us
It look like it look like it might be that moment
No life my whole life by demons I've been haunted
It look like it look like it might be that moment
Death and disaster that envy upon us
It look like it look like it might be that moment
No life my whole life by demons I've been haunted
It look like it look like it might be that moment
Death and disaster that envy upon us
It look like it look like it might be that moment
No life my whole life by demons I've been haunted
It look like it look like it might be that moment
Death and disaster that envy upon us
It look like it look like it might be that moment
No life my whole life by demons I've been haunted
It look like it look like it might be that moment
Death and disaster that envy upon us
It look like it look like it might be that moment
No life my whole life by demons I've been haunted
It look like it look like it might be that moment
Death and disaster that envy upon us
