Why do I feel like I gotta be somebody that the world wants me to be I was crazy, I was losin' it Cocaine in my body, I'm abusin' it I'm gettin' fucked up on Percocet Just received a call, it was a death threat If I gotta die today and there ain't no other way But shootin' me down then Puttin' me up in the grave Then I'mma face it Look the shooter in his eyes The one who can save me is the man in the sky The one pullin' the trigger is the devil in disguise For my children's sake, I'm tryna be alive I'm a beast in the streets, I know how to survive All my life I been doubted Will I see 25? I doubt it Rolls-Royce bitch just know I just bought it I just wanna be the man for my fam I been through pain, I walk in the the rain I look at my reflection up in the Mirror and I can admit that I feel so ashamed I've done some dirt that I cannot forget I'm wipin' the blood, I'm wipin' my sweat The reason I killed him cuz' he posed a threat (ugh!)
