They told me the truth is
Never surrounded by a new fence
Nor is betrayal and envy accompanied by a new face
The story can only come out in two ways
It's either word of mouth
Or everyone has seen old patterns in your new ways
I remember meeting Ndibha at the park growing up
Highlight of my day
That was him showing up
Mom told me This' the new kid in the block show him love
Man I'm talking way before the twins it was really us
We were riding out
I, Thango and Ndibha we were riding now
Ndibha was quiet, I a thinker
Thango would run his mouth
Many could tell that we the perfect balance
So check we withdrew life changed and it tipped the balance oh
But that's my brother yo
Regardless the monster and all the wreckless habits
That's my brother yo
I heard the news all right through the night
Please don't lose your life
Pissed off tryna figure out how you lost your eye
Guess it's the result of the life you living
Lived a life of crime I guess you shut your vision
I don't want to pour one out when we drinking
I'd rather roll it up and pass it to you while you sipping
These moments are lifetimes
But then you
You live through the wind
That's for sure that's for sure
But then you you live through
These moments are lifetimes
These oceans and raptures
These moments are lifetimes
These oceans and raptures
I mean we all dying just to stay alive in this life
I mean I really almost died in this life
I done cried in this life
Tears in my pillows guess I water my dreams
Funny how my life now is comprehended by streams
Kicks strings and bling
Flicks rings and tings
Doing all of this for nothing
And got nothing for all of this
Funny how my roses will be given out when I'm missed
Sometimes I think we spend more life in a hearse than when we exist
Now we crying with the families saying that we miss him
But never ever gave him a pot to piss in
Black child you on your own
Another victim of the system
Shunned by the community family and his siblings
I guess it's isolation
Went to Juvenile young he got no education
Criminal Record means no job can't change no situation
Now his riding killing niggas just for reputation
Yeah your salvation is coming homes
I know you black and blue and tired but you waiting on
I heard you got a child too I guess you pressing on
I mean I might just fall through
Just to put you on and let you know
These moments are lifetimes
But then you
You live through the wind
That's for sure, that's for sure
But, then you, you live through
These moments are lifetimes
These oceans and raptures
These moments are lifetimes
These oceans and raptures
These moments are lifetimes But then you
You live through the wind
That's for sure, that's for sure
But, then you, you live through
These moments are lifetimes
These oceans and raptures
These moments are lifetimes
These oceans and raptures
