Life of a nigga

Have you ever sat in the dark As you think about life And wonder why all your things Are just falling apart Like a house without a foundation Like couples without the trust Like a heist that ends in a bust And you end up thinking of suicide What's life Life is like box of chocolates You never know what you get But you pump your chest out, approaching it Knowing you feel like quitting But move like a house on wheels But the fact is it ain't easy, when you getting eviction notices Failed to pay your rent on about three months And the house manager fuming He angry and kicked you out Now you thinking what can you do, cause you are not alone Your family depending on you nigga They needing clothes needing food Not to mention a place to stay Cause what they a called home Is now Farfetched and it's gone And all the memories are fading And all the promises failed Cause you thought the life of a nigga, was all about chasing bags But you forgot you had to secure, your future first and your youngins' In the commotion you found yourself, and forgot to visit the deceased Your youngins mamas grave is busy rotting away But you don't care Cause you telling yourself you dealt with it Its white lies nigga White lies You are a man and you should find solace in strength And all the dirt you try to wipe away Is proof that you ain't sitting down my nigga Do you Pray People look at you as a symbol of failure But whats a person If God is there and he watching you Got plans for you Your hope is running thin like burnt rope I feel your pain slowly ripping Hands of time ain't standing still They'll carry you Bone of contention nigga Time is of the essence And the more you spend it, thinking of your losses It don't help you but it makes you suffer Even more But what I know is you a G And you got plans to get right back on track Your youngins got your back How ironic Your youngins got your back How ironic Nigga we move And the african proverb meant it Now it's on you to you embrace it And rise from all the ash Like a phoenix That you were meant to be And if it means you begging And asking for all the pennies To start a business just do it nigga Yeah just do it nigga
