AFTER DARK

Verse 1: As the hours pass I think about the life I could've had If I was out here taking everything Like things I never had A ghetto boy He unemployed The city leading him to death At least I'm not out in the streets Repeating history again If I could turn back all the clocks I'd give myself a second chance Cause time is moving way too fast The sun is setting once again The clouds are full, the skies are grey The bullets fill the parks we play in Blood and water on the court My little tears all hit the pavement Been too scared to go outside cause I lost all my friends I played with Guns get drawn out in the courtyard Body sketches on the pavement What's the point of all the violence I guess we just pick and choose All this flashing with no action What y'all really tryna prove I wasted life not living right Until I found my place again I felt the hand upon my shoulder Father take me back again I felt this life was never mine I tried to give it back instead He turned me right back to his people This right here's my second chance Verse 2: Now I gotta job I live in a house It's hard to forgive but I'm hearing em out Got rid of my bed I sleep on the couch I'm straight outta Philly Stop filling me out I'm a product of two that were never the same A product of two driving separate lanes That collision was different They cannot forget When I flew out the whip I was never the same Now I gotta story A story to tell I'm reaching for heaven And stepping on hell Been watching my step cause I'm walking on shells Everybody been sensitive Get it together Brought my umbrella I'm ready for whether or not or whatever you fixin' to say to me Don't even play with me Empty the clip just to fill out the vacancy Time is still coming Let's wait for it
