Yeah, I close my eyes, count to three
Now I'm ready to die (uh-huh)
I ain't scared of nobody, I know the devil's a lie
I don't argue with these hoes, cut that messy shit out
On a mission, only fuckin' when my schedule allow it (whoa)
I be with everyday niggas, this no arrested development
Went to court for them felonies, beat the case, took the blessing (uh-huh)
Through the trenches, less religion, more spirit connection
I can't explain it so I know I can't help it
Seeing me in my element got these niggas disheveled
I dig it, you dig it but who really gon' die for this treasure?
My body's suspended, my mind just be spendin'
My conscious ain't Kendrick
No shade to that nigga but where I'm from ain't nobody special
Mad city full of bad ass kids
Just smashed your windows then carjacked then crashed your shit (whoa)
There's no Nintendo, no pun intended, we ain't playin' withcha
Had to slit my wrist to get enough red to paint this picture, okay

Are we born to live?
Do we live to die?
Will our soul survive?
What's beyond the sky?
Tell me why we're here
Nobody knows why
Will our soul survive?
What's beyond the sky?

See I was ready to die
I was ready, had to aim it steady
And stayed for my eyes, no no regret, no goodbyes
Just take a look deep inside the casket, I never could lie
No more confetti would fly, none of my day ones would cry
Just a lot of booties bouncing, hips swaying, moving mountains
Moving Hennessy around the function, never runneth dry
Greetings from the other side
Where it ain't nothing but a gangsta party
Old schools roll through, I'll haunt you in the night
Then the morning, in all of them dark corners of your mind
Fuck the one that said if I was self shopping call it hurricane, I
I'm gettin' closer to God
More than a newborn, more than a two-tone
Drug in my system
Even more than Scotty
Got bright darkness inside me
Brought my nephew in front of me
Told him, "Keep on colliding"
I could never see you run from it (never)
See this world full of lies
And your sister full of goodness
So let nothing surprise you
We shoot the flies off the bullshit

Are we born to live?
Do we live to die?
Will our soul survive?
What's beyond the sky?
Tell me why we're here
Nobody knows why
Will our soul survive?
What's beyond the sky?
