First

Stay awake till my eyes hurt Visions of my place of birth Where I'm from and what it's worth If the Reaper coming for me Then I hope I see him first Then I hope I see him first Stay awake till my eyes hurt Visions of my place of birth Where I'm from and what it's worth If the Reaper coming for me Then I hope I see him first Then I hope I see him first We've broken laws but never rules There's a code we've grown by live by to Silly thing cos at it stickiest it get live with a guy that live by you F*ck sides we just tryna survive if the numbers right not all of us do I turned 24 in April I'm grateful I made it here Watch me shine like 24 summers Gold like laker colours This my Kobe year Told the homies soon we all be clear When we on the reign gone be like Roman years Cos Marj already cried a thousand tears More than a thousand words in prayer Asking the Maker to protect her babies Cos one thing we can depend on is safety Here kids go missing daily And the feds don't care much if you look like me Cos that YG my just be cross country On a train he bumped if they grab him he run Next stop if he lucky It ain't funny it's ugly But choices are rare No one chooses hell But sometimes you already here Stay awake till my eyes hurt Visions of my place of birth Where I'm from and what it's worth If the Reaper coming for me Then I hope I see him first Then I hope I see him first Stay awake till my eyes hurt Visions of my place of birth Where I'm from and what it's worth If the Reaper coming for me Then I hope I see him first Then I hope I see him first Got rid of everything that limits my potential Got greedy with my private time protective with my mental They saying patience is essential But what's the point of waiting when you figured out your purpose I was rewriting verses that were perfect in the first place Back when you were having first dates I do it better than my best cos I want it in the worst way We used to be eye to eye but now we looking down From young we learned to fake a smile Centre stage my generation take a bow We kids of parents that left home But little did they know That there's nightmares on this road no Elm Street And those dreams they got sold all empty But they still filling church seats Cos chasing dreams means belief in things as dark as they may seem Cos better come after worse Tell whoever don't test my nerve Cos the weight on my shoulders means I lifted the curse So if the Reaper coming for me I hope I see that nigga first Stay awake till my eyes hurt Visions of my place of birth Where I'm from and what it's worth If the Reaper coming for me Then I hope I see him first Then I hope I see him first
