Can't get caught up inna love
Can't get caught up inna buzz
Cause I remember days
I was caught up in the mud
Small city full of killas
Small city full of drugs
I know that it's something better
Something that's good enough
So if I got it imma use it
You be stupid if I'm cappin
This survival of the fittest my brother
Struggle my passion
16 I be riding 16 I be blaming
I refuse to let my daddy
See me victim of a casket
Life's a beach, but I keep playing in the sand
As the water hit my hands
I'm asking to wash my sins, away
I can settle once I settle from a coast
On a boat, will it row
It's my time just to go away
Can the waves wash my feelings away
Can the waves wash my pain away
Can the waves wash my feelings away
Can the waves wash my pain away
Tomorrow ain't promised
Today can be yo last day
Walk out the house shots fired
It's another kid slain
Another momma crying
It's another heart of pain
Tyler Perry everyday
Cause you know its a house of pain
Dear lord what you have to take my child for
I just wish I could of kept him from around folks
Coming from a city full of addicts
I'm around dope
If it's really beef then f*ck You shooting
Through a crowd for
Try yo best to find a job
It get harder to provide
All he wanna do is rob
You can see it in his eyes
So much pain upon his heart
But it be hard for him to cry
Cause he dying tryna live
But he living just to die
It's hard for you to bubble
Wit no way for you to hustle
Living in the trenches
It ain't nothing but a struggle
If ya fam ain't helping out
It'll feel like they don't love you
Kicking doors just for you to get that
Gucci Louie buckle
You get killed by a cop
Now you portrayed as a thug
Yo parents tell em you wasn't
The system tell em you was
Man this shit an obligation
We don't do it just because
F*ck a job application
That shit ain't paying enough
So we rob our own people
And we kill our own people
Cause we just tryna live
Even though we living evil
Ain't no diploma gonna help us
They don't care about that
Government aid and degrees
Only put you in debt
Life's a beach, but I keep playing in the sand
As the water hit my hands
I'm asking to wash my sins, away
I can settle once I settle from a coast
On a boat, will it row
It's my time just to go away
Can the waves wash my feelings away
Can the waves wash my pain away
Can the waves wash my feelings away
Can the waves wash my pain away
