He coughing and can't breathe
Walking with the oxygen on
I'm wondering
Will he live to see me buy him a home
Both of them hear me talking
But I feel voiceless
I'm wishing that they woulda made better life choices
Cause I see my son
Laughing and smiling from ear to ear
Holding back tears
He's the only thing keeping them here
Too many years of thinking it's cool
Smoking them Kools
Reagonomics impacting the hood
Digesting bad food
Sends chills
Going to the doctor
And they just wanna give pills
They don't wanna fight it
If they got it then
Its real
All I do is write it
I can't tell em how this feels
They go back and ignite
And say it's no big deal
Don't even go to church
Want me to pray for em
Lost they will to live
Want me to live another day for em
I just gotta find another way for em
Told me I can save the world
But I can't save y'all
I just need some more time
To quit my day job
Wishing that I could
But I can't stay long
So this is what it's coming to
Look me in my eyes
I'm right in front of you
Tough convo
I done made this here uncomfortable
Sounding dumb saying
I'm a die doing what I wanna do
You just gone leave me with no hope
I'd say you was insane
But you expect the same results
You mad but you knew
What I was gone say before I spoke
If it ain't broke don't fix...
Well some shit is looking broke
Why ain't change part of the scope
Drowning your sorrows with liquor
Choose to float
Instead of grabbing fresh air
Choose to choke
Don't wanna jump ship
Rather go down with the boat
Don't even go to church
Want me to pray for em
Lost they will to live
Want me to live another day for em
I just gotta find another way for em
Told me I can save the world
But I can't save y'all
I just need some more time
To quit my day job
Wishing that I could
But I can't stay long
