"Killers"
Momma I just killed a man
My body still trembling can you feel my hand
Don’t shed no tears, it won’t be long before they find out it was me momma
This may be the last time you see me free ma
Don’t spend it cryin’
You did your best, me I was blessed, know you were stressed trying
To keep me out the streets, me ducking police
Trying not to make a peek to wake you up out your sleep
A drunk and high fool
Skipping class, flunking high school
I know you taught me better, somehow I never learned
Said I was playing with fire, somehow I never burned
You tried to set me straight, somehow I never permed
You tried to show me right, but somehow I never turned
Lost in a cloud of *********, are you ashamed of me
Dry your face mommy, your not to blame for me
See I’m a man, I gotta take whatever came for me
At times I wonder ’bout my father
Would it change for me if he was around?
Would I still be running 'round with the lowlife’s
Bum ass *******s no jobs, no life
Seen them *******s killed for no price
I watched his life flash before his eyes like a strobe light
I pulled the trigger momma
Tryna be hard, I ain't mean to kill the ******* momma
But what’s done is done
I’m on the run, I live my life like a movie now it’s way too realer
Who woulda thought your baby boy woulda grew up to be a killer
Yeh, now I’m a killer
Guess I’m a killer
They got me in here with the killers
Yeah I mean the killers
I wonder whats in store for me
Lately been stressing, pray for blessings, hope that there’s more for me
Than just a simple life
*******s that I used to hoop with is doing triple life
Gave up the jump shot
Work on the John shot
Who woulda thought I used to block this *******s lay ups
Now he’s in a cell layed up
I wish you well, stay up
Like insomniacs
This life can make a ******* fold like a laundry mat
I sip this cognac though to ease my brain from all this pain
And so that I react slow, in this fast world
Slow *******s, fast girls
Hoes give up ass while these ho *******s hold triggers
Blast on ‘em
Hold up that old checker flag for ‘em
Chalk lines by the do not park sign
It’s deep, all these cold hearted *******s holding heat
I’d rather blast before they steal a *******
Tell ‘em now boy, don’t make me turn into a killer
Yeah, into a killer
Don’t make me turn into a killer
Yeah, to a killer, yeh yeh
To those who had love for me in the past
Who woulda thought time would fly by so fast
I remember back in class we used to make believe
Like it was draft day
Swore that we would make the league, be rich
Saturday morning had to rake the leaves, awww *******t
Watch how they pile up
Seem like a mile up
I was the blisters on my hand than I dial up my best friend
Skating rink is where we headed tonight
And if a ******* disrespect, yes we ready to fight
In retrospect that *******t seemed petty
At the time, the *******t was heavy
Cause life was all about your name
You had to scrap with any ******* that would call you lame
Ashamed no doubt, so many *******s go they brains blown out
Snatched a ******* chain and he got his name rolled out in obituaries
Another body in a cemetary
Another young ******* in the penetentiary
And he don’t give a ******* no missionary
Rap visionary, paint a picture ******* pictionary
Tell you what it is, I’m a dictionary
I knew a ******* that threw his ******* in every chick in every city that he went to
Went hard like the rent do
Till he met the wrong *******, man just came home ex-convict
And he stay on with that Thriller
*******t, ******* around with them killers
Yeah, with them killers
******* around with them killers
Say I’m a killer
