[English]

Gloomy on sunny days

Shadows, no house of trees

(Trees)

Prayers not close to me

As I bow down and take a knee

Hell goes far as the eye can see

(The eye can see)

Hoodies and weaponry

(Weaponry)

Naive to being free

(Free)

Locked up we chasin' keys

(Aye)

How your eyes, investigate us

While we look up to entertainers

Ball players, pistol bangers

(Bangers)

Big brothers, uncles, uncles

Betrayed by alot of homies

All my friendships stay on shuffle

Huddle, steady tryna find a plan

Spread evil beyond the land

As I clench down upon this trigger

And burn fucker burn

(Burn)

Every step take gettin' deeper

Survival my main concern

(Concern)

Marinate in satin's sweat

(Sweat)

Take a sip of this holy water

(Water)

Hoping God still keep me blessed

(Blessed)

With a dark shield for my armor

(Armor)

Need 'em in my life

Put 'em in my life

Bring 'em in my life

(Aye, aye)

Need 'em in my life

Put 'em in my life

Bring 'em in my life

(Aye, aye)

Promises, man I promise

None of them goals accomplished

Promises, man I promise

To be loyal and honest

Promises, man I promise

Lied on separate occasions

Promises, man I promise

My promises is agin'

Hennessy, what my system like

(Like, like, like, like, like)

Feelin' like superman

(Man, man)

I might crip tonight

(Night, night...)

I bring loss to life

(Life, life, life.)

A gruesome site

Look who done got involved

(Got unvolved

It's no different from wars, it's kill or be called upon

(Called upon)

Feelin' teary eyed

(Teary eyed)

Thinkin' I've gone too far

(Gone too far)

Ask God for forgiveness, shit, I doubt he heard me at all

(Heard me at all)

They say clean your hands before you eat, rest your sins with pray

(Rest your sins with pray)

But I done did some things I don't think I could ever wash away, aye

Need 'em in my life

Put 'em in my life

Bring 'em in my life

(Aye, aye)

Need 'em in my life

Put 'em in my life

Bring 'em in my life

(Aye, aye)

Need 'em in my life

Put 'em in my life

Bring 'em in my life

(Aye, aye)

(Aye, aye)
