[Intro]
We all get caught in our own sins
Sometimes I have to remind myself

That on my worst day I live like somebody on their greatest
Don't let your demons take you to hell, introduce them to heaven


[Hook]
Some ^!$$%s go to college, some ^!$$%s go to jail
Some make it into heaven, some make it into hell

Nobody want to lose, nobody want to fail
Nobody want to die, nobody want to kill
The things we do just to make it through

But nobody want to lose, nobody want to fail
Nobody want to die, we're just tryna live our life


[Verse 1: Meek Mill]
Look, I got homies in the ground, skeleton and bones
And ^!$$%s doing life, they ain't ever coming home

They said I wouldn't make it or never see the throne
And my baby mama hate me cause she said I did her wrong
Cause I left to chase my dream, get it any means

I said that I'll be back, she wasn't listening to me
That back and forth arguing was getting in between
I said $#&@ them other ^!$$%s, I go get it with my team

If we all grind, we all shine, $#&@ a part time
I used to play the block early morning and dark time
Now it's G5 flights, $#&@ a depart time

It was hard times, ^!$$% now it's our time
Just take a look at my life, rapping brought me back to life
Cause I was in them streets, my heart was cold as a pack of ice

Every night we strapping like we was in Iraq to fight
Cause ^!$$%s getting murdered for a block that do a stack a night
Woah, I got to make it home to my son

On them papers with a firm hold on his gun
Before I snitch they gotta burn a hole in my tongue
Give me a hundred years in a hole on the sun

In boiling water, in the world of no order
In the hood ain't no loyalty, ain't no world for your daughter
Ain't no life for your brother, on the life of my mother

I'mma get the fam right, ^!$$% you damn right

[Hook]


[Verse 2: Jadakiss]
Yeah, I used to pop a lot of %#@!, now I keep it moderate

These ^!$$%s know I been iced out, hopping out of %#@!
Right now I'm praying for my son to get this scholarship
A nice university, one of these black colleges

Far as the hood go, I acknowledge it
But whoever ain't a snake usually a follower
Luckily, I can tell a difference

My man coming home, my other man getting sentenced
Soft ^!$$%s usually send the hate through the (*##$es
Jealous Instagram ^!$$%s hating on your pictures

We dream chasing, y'all ^!$$%s walking behind wishes
Without working for it, not often you find riches
Some ^!$$%s find coffins others just find ditches

Just ask around 'bout the militia, they malicious
D-block, finish that and cop more dope
I'm two-stroke, you four-stroke

If you got enough cigars we can all smoke
Ain't nothing all good when you all broke
So we could never be equal

Never bite the hand that'll feed you
Never fear a man if he bleed too
Some ^!$$%s need a head shot, some ^!$$%s need two

Play sweet in these streets and they'll leave you
You can't see the devil, he's see through


[Hook]
