Life

Hopeless but hoping I keep the coals on the burner It's gettin' cold in the summers I'm getting old Or maybe it's my soul Collectively gathered By low lifes Expectin' me to be dead By the lead in the water When I was led to the water I didn't expect to be slaughtered I think I'm supposed to drink But I remember the daughter She martyred herself Bloody hands washed in the sink What else am I supposed to think When life's gettin' ended before you can blink Before you can drink Before you can drive All we have left is the night And we chillin' Every single one of them High My name is Zay And I just want to say That I just want to play Live in a better place And see the face On my momma When I got the commas See all of my cousins in college My father is calling Congratulatin' That I finally made it I'm modest I fainted I'm honest Talking to him Like talking to santa clause It's like he only comes around once a year And he travels around That's his main career And when I wake up he ain't here Why he don't want me? Ain't I gift? He just made me And gave me a lift? To my mom's Said " Here's your kid I ain't sending no money or shit " And Then he dipped Wit' a Spliff in his mouth Said "son, throw the cigarettes out that's all I got Hope your life's figured out" I hope your life's figured out Before he headed out Said Get your life figured out
