Pity |
God help the hungry children |
Help the homeless children |
Help them to survive a World they can’t understand |
God help the child who’s needy |
Who deserves not pity |
Help them to survive this cold and bitter land |
Is this the life that you chose for me? |
Is this the life that you chose for me? |
Is this the dice that was rolled for me? |
I won’t cry about it, I won’t cry about it |
Is this the life that you chose for me Lord? |
Is this the life that you chose for me? |
Is this the dice that you rolled for me? |
Yeah, this is the Ville, home of the fast-lifers |
Where we get high and don’t come down, we gas righteous |
Man, I wonder how hard to live my past life was |
Cause this one hard, I could show you my scars |
I ain’t crying tho. |
Then save that pity for the next man |
Or that girl getting beat down by her ex-man |
Hey, hold your head, mama |
I know you wish that nigga dead, mama |
If I can find a way to kill him, I won’t have any drama |
Damn mama, tell me who you love |
This one is for the boy that sees his mama on drugs |
I feel your pain, boy and just know that I been through the same, boy |
That lady needs you more than ever |
Don’t be ashamed boy |
Cause when it rained, boy, that was your umbrella |
The one that changed your pissy sheets when you was a young fella |
And now she in the bedroom on her knees |
Staring at the sky, screaming «Lord please!» |
Tell me now |
Is this the life that you chose for me? |
Is this the life that you chose for me? |
Is this the dice that you rolled for me? |
I won’t cry about it, I won’t cry about it |
Is this the life that you chose for me Lord? |
Is this the life that you chose for me? |
Is this the dice that was rolled for me? |
I won’t cry about it, I won’t cry about it |
Soon as you cling on, my mind’s saying «be gone!» |
I leave em with wrinkled foreheads, they now Klingons |
Confused, cause friendship’s abuse and I’m sorry for it |
My life performance been trifling, some nights I fight my conscience? |
Was never given space, but I always heared the heart |
Always miss playing the hand that was dealt the joker cards |
It’s what I was feeling like, lonely low energy |
Fallin slow clinically, ballin' over we finna be |
Don’t pity me ever, even when them haters answering |
Mindstate of the victim, no victim, I’m just a champion |
Money come in slow, God, intervene |
Spirit’s never broken, I’m just focused, don’t pity me |
No no no, you see this pain put a strain on my whole life |
I seen the rain, seen my dreams turn to long nights |
But all I ask is don’t pity me, no, no! |
Don’t pity me, no, no, no! |
Is this the life that you chose for me? |
Is this the life that you chose for me? |
Is this the dice that you rolled for me? |
I won’t cry about it, I won’t cry about it |
Is this the life that you chose for me Lord? |
Is this the life that you chose for me? |
Is this the dice that was rolled for me? |
I won’t cry about it, I won’t cry about it |
I can’t cry about it |
Nah, nah, be strong |
Can’t cry about it |
Hey |
I freestyle life, can barely write the rent |
Yearly income can barely keep this music life in check |
Call up mama, hate to borrow money, with Christmas near |
Hey you know what? |
How about we make each other gifts this year |
Friends are calling me up, asking me if I’m signed yet |
Who I’m working with? |
Am I making dollar signs yet? |
Disappointment within their voices, do they pity me? |
Disbelief, I’ma stay driven like them city streets |
But ah, it seems like every day is rainy weather |
Can barely fit my pain and poverty the same umbrella |
But he don’t care, he don’t care, it’s hard to keep em dry |
No more caterpillar, now you see him change: peeping Tom |
This life’ll flash before your eyes |
So get your match before your fire turns to ash |
No more drive, no more gas, before you cry, get your last |
Before you die, life your past with no regrets |
Broken X, no looking back man |
Is this the life that you chose for me? |
Is this the life that you chose for me? |
Is this the dice that you rolled for me? |
I won’t cry about it, I won’t cry about it |
Is this the life that you chose for me Lord? |
Is this the life that you chose for me? |
Is this the dice that was rolled for me? |
Yeah |
