Joshua Ortiz - Perception Lyrics

Remember when they used to talk like they love you, now they be blowing a kiss
Now they be walking away when they see you
Saying oh josh is a bitch
I am perceived in a way that I don't wanna be in but I am kid
We all be making mistakes and things that we do is the way that we live
Niggas they know how we talk
(Bahhh)
Niggas they know how we eat
We be living in dangerous world
I don't ever go to sleep
I had a dream
A homie was pulling up asking me just for the money
He said it's funny how you have no money but have enough to buy some food
I said you need-a just watch how you talk
He said nah you need-a just move
Before I knew it he shot up my face
The blood was all on my shoe
Turn on the channel 4 news
You see a 19 year old dead way to soon
I should of given him what he was asking for but I just already knew
(I did)
Tryna be brave for culture but never thought once I should do this for you
I was so stuck in the moment I thought that my life was okay and it's true
Momma was rushing to see how I was but it was to late all the blood
Was already pouring straight out of my lungs
People they don't give a f*ck
Either you give them whatever
They ask
Or they will aim and they shoot
Living your life for a day
Is a blessing
You need-a thank god for the truth
Love all the people who fight in your life and stand by your side everyday
Take away pain out your life
And I bet when you walk outside you won't see rain
Then I woke up from my dream
And I saw my momma happy
And I saw my baby sister
And her hair was still nappy
The friend that was asking me just for the money I gave it to him and he left
Who would of known
Your life just depends on the way that you live it your best
(Bahh)
