Outta My Life

Damn, here come another sad song
 Listen to the words cause again it's on
 Gettin' at my best black one more time
 Cause nowadays we droppin' like flies
 Seems like every other week
 Somebody I know gettin' caught up in the streets
 Used to be sad when I heard somethin'
 Now I'm cool if I find out that I didn't know him
 And that's true, I thought you knew
 Cause nowadays we're born to die
 And black life ain't shit
 Oops, there's another one going down
 Shot dead to the ground
 Just one more drug-related
 Fiasco makin' life complicated
 Ask yourself how many of your good friends die
 And then ask why
 So I say, how many dope records do it take
 Before the brother makes sleeping giants awake
 Another day, another call, and it's so wrong
 I can't believe I've seen him just last week, now he's all gone
 Ashes to ashes, dust to dust to gat bust
 Now another one's life is lost, did it twenty-two years old
 Now my heart of pain is turned into a heart of stone
 I feel like I wanna go get my motherfucking gat
 Grab a mask and handle shit, but I'm conscious
 So I think I'll count my losses
 And wish my friend goodbye
 I can't get with the same old, same old
 Black on black, shoot a nigga off scenario
 So I just swallow it down and try to let go
 And see he at the crossroads
 ♪
 Now I'm more than a mack, more than a hustler
 More than a d-boy pimp or sport star
 And everybody can't make their way
 Tryin' to rap or dance, I must say that the shit is played
 Still militant, never be ignorant
 More than a motherfucking jig
 Cause I'm heaven's sin, ain't a player
 You're nigga, a jungle-bunny
 More than a coon or spook or porch monkey
 And ain't shit funny
 It's kinda sad we believe that's all that we can be
 Brainwashed and ain't nobody lost but us
 So who's paying the cost?
 So I do what I can do
 Still stayin' true, still payin' dues
 And I still got love for ya
 Don't squat when I talk, just listen
 And get up on that shits you're missing
