VERSE 1
I'm just sittin' in my window, throwin' down pennies to the hell below.
Puffin' Afgoo with my kinfolk, wishin' for one day more.
But once my senses burn... this one thing comes to light.
HOOK
Life is fading, with each new day. Slippin' through my fingertips.
And I keep waiting to wake up one day, and life not be like this...
Stuck in the gutter.
VERSE 2
What's pain? What's hurt?
What's life, if it's defined by dirt?
What's rich, if I still die a slave?
I came naked from the womb, I'll go naked to the grave.
Until I make it to the grave, I'm fasho I'll...
be feelin' empty like a junkie on a coke high.
But how are you really supposed to feel once your folk die?
My only answer... get blowed 'til you're so high!
I can't believe we can't see that,
the whole world's losin' it's mind tonight.
And sooner or later you gotta be that,
or homie lose your mind tonight.
But once our senses turn, this one thing comes to light.
HOOK
VERSE 3
I'll burn until my time is gone.
Thinkin' about the times I've known.
Everything that I've seen
is enough to keep a madman feeling at home.
I ain't never let go of the Bible...
But I ain't never let it's words try and change my life.
When living day to day is about survival,
ain't a lot of thought put about living right.
If we're living for nothing... we might as well die forever.
With bullets flyin', and homeboys dyin'
how can I not think about the afterlife?
We fade like leaves, while all the sin that we seek
is the wind, just blowin' us away!
