When im gone

Hmm (Hahaha)
It's like

I just wanna die, I just wanna cope
All I see is pain, I done lost hope
I just wanna live, I just love the thrills
I just lost my mama, I don't got no father (It's like)
I just want some justice, I just want some peace
Every day, niggas dyin' in the streets
Every damn nigga's dyin' in the street
All this fuckin' beef and I don't even eat (It's like)
Wrong colors and we sworn enemies
I just wanna come together, take the streets
Overdosin' while my niggas die
Shots fired, why he gotta die? (It's like)
Sometimes it's hard, but, nigga, you alive
Sometimes it's hard to see the truth inside
Life inside a box, throw away the key
Who are you to judge her? Who could make her free? (It's like)
Tired of niggas beatin' up women
Tired of women hatin' on men
Baby ma tryin' to control shit
Play the victim, seen the roles switch (It's like)
Remember how to love your own shit
Remember how to love your homies
Remember people out here homeless
This is livin' at your own risk (It's like)
'Cause ain't nobody walkin' perfect
All this money, was it worth it?
All this ice, am I the coldest?
Sacrificed, am I the chosen? (It's like)
Am I livin' for the moment?
The past hurts, but it's golden
The future bright, all this moonlight
Call it suicide when you too righteous

It's like they (It's like they)
Won't get you 'til you're gone ('Til you're gone)
Just hope when I'm dead
I live on through these songs (These songs)
It's okay (It's okay, yeah)
You got the right to move on (To move on)
Just don't forget (It's okay)
What it's like when I was (When I was)
When I was still here with you

This is bigger than some music
And all my niggas goin' through it
Life ain't 'posed to be this way
Desensitized from real decay (It's like)
Weighin' on my inner conscience
Especially when out of context
Text me for a little convo
Fallen soldiers, come home (It's like)
I just rally for the cause (Ayy, ayy)
Then I round up all my dawgs (Ayy, ayy)
Get the fuck up out the dodge (Ayy, ayy)
Life ain't 'posed to be this hard (Ayy, ayy, it's like)
I don't wanna cry no more (Ayy, ayy)
Rehab ain't about a choice (Ayy, ayy)
Wishin' that we'd find a cure (Ayy, ayy)
This the pain we can't ignore (It's like)

First off, I wanna say RIP to Mac Milly
We gon' smoke these flowers in your honor
Drownin', ridin' 'round through the city (It's like)
World's supposed to be mine, but these bitches like, "Gimme, gimme, gimme"
But before I let it burn though, these are my confessions, ah (It's like)
Love hard like my mother, too much pride like my father
Don't think I'm strong enough to be a brother
Way too fucked up to be a lover (It's like)
Damaged goods, couldn't make it through the rubble
Under my hood is a sick mind with some deep thoughts
I'm in trouble, problems pilin' up
Emotions bottled up, I'm volatile (It's like)
Promise you, wish I was drama-proof
But why waste wishes on something so comical?
Unbalanced chemical, more money, more problems, commas and decimals (Damn)
I guess that's just what the dollars do (It's like)
Shall I fly without losing my flock?
Will I die before making my mark?
Heaven knows that I gave y'all my heart
Man, I gave y'all my all zero day from the start (It's like)
Life's a challenge, it'll break you to parts
You are not gone, you entered the void
No energy's lost, immortality
You get through these songs
Since they ripped me from umbilical cord (It's like)
Can't figure what leads to these cynical thoughts
Extendin' my arm like the man on the cross
You gave me a hug, stabbed through my back and punctured my heart

It's like they (It's like they)
Won't get you 'til you're gone ('Til you're gone)
Just hope when I'm dead
I live on through these songs (These songs)
It's okay (It's okay, yeah)
You got the right to move on (To move on)
Just don't forget (It's okay)
What it's like when I was (When I was)
When I was still here with you

Still here with you (You)
I wish that I was still here with you
I am still here with you (With you)
