Dead or Alive

Lyrics

[Intro] I think they want me dead or alive Flow immortal though I never could die But forever I'm fly Quit the pills, they was gettin' me by I know the truth, they been tellin' me lies That's why I barely could cry Heaven sent, you see the Hell in my eyes Tryna balance out the demons, feelin' leveled inside I see street dudes with bodies go and tell on the guys Just buckle up 'cause it's a hell of a ride [Verse 1] Yeah, drinkin' on the stoop as a youth, was a misfit Sped kids spazzin' in my school was a statistic Got a second chance, said I'm a fool if I risk it Don't wanna let my mama down but dudes be on some bitch shit Ask about Millyz, he just said I go ballistic All these broken dreams feelin' nobody could fix it Faded in the park off of dark got me twisted Depression passed down from my pops, it's a sickness My closest homie died at sixteen, I was fifteen I just seen him layin' in his casket with his kicks clean Buried him in J's and when they carried him away, I couldn't even shed a tear Sittin', starin' in his face thinkin' I know I'ma be next School life, I reject I was knee-deep when they ain't even get they feet wet Months passed, I'm sellin' crack runnin' from the detecs Drinkin' Paul Masson out the bottle 'cause I be stressed Ascended to my higher being, tired of seein' trauma But my people back home keep comin' 'round me with that drama Gossipin' about shit I don't ever wanna speak about Sometimes I feel like stayin' in the crib because the reaper's out Mama tried to keep me in the crib but I was sneakin' out Baggin' up a busy in my bathroom 'cause the geekers out Servin' all my neighbors, I was tryna pull some sneakers out They heard about me 'round my way with music, I was beastin' out [Interlude] Um, when I met Millyz, um, he was talkin' to me His mother was on his back 'cause he was-he had a lot of traffic in these streets out here You know, he was a little younger than me so I didn't exactly know what it was But I remember when I got him a job, that's the thing he asked me for And, like, within that first week I got him a job, they tried to run down on him and-and they were shootin' at him And that's when I realized he was really into some different things [Verse 2] Yeah, back to back cases, stood trial, only mama there No one in my corner but them Perkys and Coronas Opened up my eyes and it turned me to a loner Fightin' like I'm grown at seventeen but I was grown-up Fuck the whole industry, I made up my mind Chasin' record deals is wastin' my time, I replace it with grinds Before it's over, do my thing for the city They don't appreciate what I bring to the city, but it's cool though I still sat around with that pole in my pants And I blow like a new rapper blow his advance Keep my goals to myself, no one know all my plans I seen them Percs had my bro in a trance, it's time to switch up Starin' all my demons in the face, I never bitch up Life hit me hard, knocked me down, I'm tryna get up The same ones that said they never change, I seen 'em switch up Now I'm on these stages and they lit up Blanco [Outro] Think they want me dead or alive Think they want me dead or alive Think they want me dead or alive Think they want me dead or alive I think they want me dead or alive Flow immortal though I never could die But forever I'm fly Quit the pills, they was gettin' me by I know the truth, they been tellin' you lies That's why I'm here for you Blanco II
