Put My Life on This

Another day and we just try to make away now
The hatred growing stronger every single day now
I hear these rappers, they ain’t tryna talk about it, they ain’t tryna get
involved, they would rather catch a wave now
But how cool is the gunplay when the stays will hit the playgrounds huh?
But never mind about that, cause once you make it out you think this world just
don’t affect you any more
Until somebody from your past come back to settle the score
Like 2Pac on September 7th.
Man in the fight against hate, love the greatest
weapon
So if you tryna walk with me said the cycle gonna stop right here
My God gave his life for mine so I can make this clear
The more and more my name has grown 'cause of the music the more that I see
It ain’t about the music but the way that I use it
So go head, keep on rappin about all the choppers and your drugs
I’ll be here just holdin down for the people and the love, yeah
Oh I was drownin' in the wave with you
I was drownin' in the wave with you
I was drownin' in the wave with you.
Ooh oh
I put my whole life on this!
I put my whole life on this!
I put my whole life on this!
I put my whole life on this!
Stop it, yall not poppin, stuntin' on the ground feel wise
Running for the check no I says
Pumpin in the pose like broad skrrt
Stuntin on your kinfolk
[ullin up, sittin on rens lo
Dope boy got a benz, now I need a benzo
I wanna cop the form, that’s a better investment
Call 0−800 and had the kids kiss 'em
Always see through the ten and in
Other dudes see the rims I see the life on the real
I don’t really see the win all I see is the
I ain’t preachin' to ya dad I don;'t mean to offend
But I mean dang I mean Lord bled and died for the life that you live
Oh I was drownin' in the wave with you
I was drownin' in the wave with you
I was drownin' in the wave with you.
Ooh oh
I put my whole life on this!
I put my whole life on this!
I put my whole life on this!
I put my whole life on this!
People say that drowning is actually a really peaceful way to die.
It’s not difficult to see why.
After the shock and hysteria passes,
after fluids finally fill your lungs as you struggle to hold your breath,
a certain serenity takes hold of you after you surrender.
But you don’t die
immediately, you become numb.
And the longer that you’re under, the more you
forget what could have been.
And you lose perspective on what’s about to happen
I was drowning in something different.
Losing perspective.
Basking in the
illusion of freedom.
Numb to the reality that death was soon approaching
This wasn’t the design
We were made for more
And I chose to live
