[00:00.80]Never would have made it
[00:07.20]Never could have made it
[00:10.40]Without You
[00:16.10]Without You
[00:22.70]Whole lotta O's gettin' sold on the block
[00:25.10]Don't go outside a lot, ain't tryna get popped
[00:28.00]12 bustin' in while we scrapin' out the pot
[00:30.60]We runnin' out the spot, we runnin' out the spot
[00:33.50]Singin', "Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got"
[00:36.30]Somebody's gettin' knocked while the bodies gettin' dropped
[00:39.30]I used to have a little, now a nigga got a lot
[00:41.90]I pray the Lord watch, I pray the Lord watch
[00:45.00]Another year goes by, another nigga slayed
[00:47.90]At the West Indian Day Parade when perpetrators sprayed
[00:51.10]You got the nerve to ask why I stay in the house more
[00:53.90]Get paid for goin' in, the fuck I'm goin' out for?
[00:56.50]When niggas stretchin' shit like a new-school power forward
[00:59.50]Naz Reid range
[01:00.70]But when these boys is shootin', niggas start breathin' strange
[01:03.50]Heartbeat is faint, now it's auf Wiedersehen
[01:06.40]I'm not German, but the wheels currently turnin' on my mama's automobile
[01:10.80]Certainly are while y'all prefer to be hard
[01:13.30]Memories of my dog's wake, it's hurtin' me, y'all
[01:16.10]The windows to his soul closed, saw his curtains be drawn
[01:19.00]Innocent as a child, but weren't we all?
[01:21.80]Before the hoes and the smoke that arose
[01:24.10]From the Black & Mild cigarillos, triggers lift the biggest fellows
[01:27.80]Put seven on his torso and turned him into Melo, uh
[01:30.90]But no midrange iso, back to the basket
[01:33.60]The streets raised him a bastard, wrapped in a casket
[01:36.60]Best beware, don't you dare go laugh at the tragic
[01:39.30]Passing of somebody's son by somebody's gun
[01:41.90]Give a fuck if you opps, when dissin' the dead, the karma tends to come at you hot
[01:46.00]I promise you
[01:46.90]Pray for forgiveness, the Lord's wrath can astonish you
[01:49.70]I'd rather admonish you on this record than impress with perceptions of a designer shoe
[01:54.40]Fuck Gucci, fuck Louis, fuck Chanel
[01:56.70]Fuck Balenciaga, how we gon' excel?
[01:58.70]Soon as niggas make it out, they turnin' Hollywood as hell
[02:01.60]I knew buddy caught that body, but hell, I probably shouldn't tell
[02:05.10]Or else I
[02:06.30]Never would have made it
[02:10.90]I mean, I
[02:12.20]Never could have made it (Yeah)
[02:15.50]Without You
[02:16.40]Got a soft spot for the man up above
[02:19.50]Eastside, Westside, show me love (Without You)
[02:21.70]Niggas duck shots and some niggas catch slugs
[02:24.40]Northside, Southside, show me love, huh
[02:27.40]Whole lotta O's gettin' sold on the block
[02:30.10]Don't go outside a lot, ain't tryna get popped
[02:32.70]12 bustin' in while we scrapin' out the pot
[02:35.60]We runnin' out the spot, we runnin' out the spot
[02:38.40]Singin', "Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got"
[02:41.20]Somebody's gettin' knocked while the bodies gettin' dropped
[02:44.10]I used to have a little, now a nigga got a lot
[02:46.90]I pray the Lord watch, I pray the Lord watch, uh
[02:50.40]Someone that's close to me is facin' time
[02:52.40]My mind's racin' for some way to find hope that he may be fine
[02:56.10]He got a son the same age as mine
[02:58.20]I can't imagine spendin' days in a cage not raisin' mine
[03:01.70]These are the years with our kids where we strengthen bonds
[03:04.60]I paid his bond, but the trial's comin'
[03:06.70]Yo, rain or shine, I know his child love him
[03:09.00]But he's too young to understand it if the outcome is incarceration
[03:12.80]The charges facin' bring the possibility of long vacations and complications
[03:17.50]With his baby mom
[03:18.80]She daily cryin', sayin' her heart is vacant
[03:21.10]He tryna make it work, he wanna fake it for the sake of ...........
