One life, you get one chance 00:12
Lotta shit I'm goin' through, no, they don't understand 00:15
I was walkin' through the trenches with my gun in hand 00:18
I know losses come with the gang, but that wasn't the plan 00:22
Huh, I know when to speak after silence 00:25
Man down, they catchin' Bs, you hear 'em sirens 00:28
My heart out, I'm tryna bleed on the mic stand 00:30
Bro, it's either you or me when the night ends (uh, uh) 00:34
Gotta pray over your kids because it's dangerous in the Chi' 00:36
Walkin' slow up to that casket, tears rainin' from his eyes 00:38
Homies left forever, I ain't get to wave and say goodbye 00:42
Hard-bodied and we gangstas, but that pain done made us cry (cry) 00:45
Used to wake up so fucked up 00:47
Like I can't wait until I die ('til I die) 00:49
To the point that I feel like I ain't myself if I ain't high 00:51
Now I'm foreign whippin', thinkin' 00:53
'bout new chains that I can buy 00:55
Devil breathin' down my neck 00:57
But I got angels in the sky (sky) 00:58
And I can't reveal the way I really feel, it's hard to try 00:59
Heard the opps, they want me dead 01:02
Because I'm dissin', tellin' lies 01:05
Feelin' mutual, stuff bullets in that SIG and let it fly 01:06
Execute him, headshot 01:09
Knock his brains up out his eye (up out his eye) 01:10
One life, you get one chance 01:14
Lotta shit I'm goin' through, no, they don't understand 01:16
I was walkin' through the trenches with my gun in hand 01:19
I know losses come with the gang, but that wasn't the plan 01:22
Huh, I know when to speak after silence 01:25
Man down, they catchin' Bs, you hear 'em sirens 01:29
My heart out, I'm tryna bleed on the mic stand 01:32
Bro, it's either you or me when the night ends 01:35
Lookin' through my memories 01:36
I never thought that you would leave forever 01:38
Since 2014, been Gucci Gang, gon' throw up Ts forever 01:40
Playin' basketball, me and Ed had hoop dreams together 01:43
Jasmine block party 01:46
Me and three was out there T'd together 01:47
Me and Duck was trappin' early mornin', servin' fiends together 01:49
Spent my last on weed, me and lil' Dee sippin' lean together 01:52
Moo, he love pipes, smilin' 'cause he got a clean Beretta 01:55
Yeah, the gang scored up in that field, we got some rings together 01:58
Ballin' like Tim Duncan, win or lose, I'm with my team forever 02:01
Got the same scars, we took 'em Ls on Evergreen together 02:05
Never understood my point of view because I seen it better 02:08
I couldn't be right back in that cell, stressin', readin' letters 02:10
Nina and my Wesson like a duet, they gon' sing together 02:13
Like to slide at night, put that .40 and that beam together 02:16
Homicide, you feel your soul shakin' when 'em demons catch you 02:20
Shit bag, put him on that machine until he breathin' better 02:23
One life, you get one chance 02:27
Lotta shit I'm goin' through, no, they don't understand 02:30
I was walkin' through the trenches with my gun in hand 02:33

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

One life, you get one chance
Lotta shit I'm goin' through, no, they don't understand
I was walkin' through the trenches with my gun in hand
I know losses come with the gang, but that wasn't the plan
Huh, I know when to speak after silence
Man down, they catchin' Bs, you hear 'em sirens
My heart out, I'm tryna bleed on the mic stand
Bro, it's either you or me when the night ends (uh, uh)
Gotta pray over your kids because it's dangerous in the Chi'
Walkin' slow up to that casket, tears rainin' from his eyes
Homies left forever, I ain't get to wave and say goodbye
Hard-bodied and we gangstas, but that pain done made us cry (cry)
Used to wake up so fucked up
Like I can't wait until I die ('til I die)
To the point that I feel like I ain't myself if I ain't high
Now I'm foreign whippin', thinkin'
'bout new chains that I can buy
Devil breathin' down my neck
But I got angels in the sky (sky)
And I can't reveal the way I really feel, it's hard to try
Heard the opps, they want me dead
Because I'm dissin', tellin' lies
Feelin' mutual, stuff bullets in that SIG and let it fly
Execute him, headshot
Knock his brains up out his eye (up out his eye)
One life, you get one chance
Lotta shit I'm goin' through, no, they don't understand
I was walkin' through the trenches with my gun in hand
I know losses come with the gang, but that wasn't the plan
Huh, I know when to speak after silence
Man down, they catchin' Bs, you hear 'em sirens
My heart out, I'm tryna bleed on the mic stand
Bro, it's either you or me when the night ends
Lookin' through my memories
I never thought that you would leave forever
Since 2014, been Gucci Gang, gon' throw up Ts forever
Playin' basketball, me and Ed had hoop dreams together
Jasmine block party
Me and three was out there T'd together
Me and Duck was trappin' early mornin', servin' fiends together
Spent my last on weed, me and lil' Dee sippin' lean together
Moo, he love pipes, smilin' 'cause he got a clean Beretta
Yeah, the gang scored up in that field, we got some rings together
Ballin' like Tim Duncan, win or lose, I'm with my team forever
Got the same scars, we took 'em Ls on Evergreen together
Never understood my point of view because I seen it better

Lotta shit I'm goin' through, no, they don't understand
