[Verse 1: Decay] Imagine growing up while living on cheap food Imagine having to blaze to enter a good mood Never lived in the hood man I came up from the slums Where the criminals run shit, we live under the guns And if you try to speak out you get checked real quick Negotiation with a blade or answer to a clip A war that once started from faith God ignores my prayers so how the fuck am I safe? I refuse to be buried as another fucking waste Be on my deathbed, reminicing about the dream I chased I present myself as half man half amazing You hear it in the words and the way that I phrase them Gotta watch my back, see tomorrow's not guranteed People out here get a rush making a man bleed No one on one's, it's strictly unfair fights Prone to stop breathing if they get you in their sights No peace for us here, the community's torn A man lost his life and a baby was born It's a fucked up cycle, and it won't stop yet Only trust yourself is something I can't forget You could have a homie but he could be disguised Secretly behind your back plotting your demise It's a dark cold world, life is a fight Tryna see clearly without going to the light [Verse 2: Decay] It's hard for me to do what I do best Us people aren't free, they don't offer success As a speaker of life, they won't let me speak Rather replace my true words with some that are week My words create thoughts in the mind of the streets We don't want no more victims laying under the sheets We don't want no more sanctions, living under the silence See we're sick of the routine, we're done with the violence You best believe I'm coming for the fucking top spot Decay's a global problem that they're not gonna stop Cos I've seen things, experienced shit you won't believe Seen how evil people operate and how they decieve See I'm doing this shit for all people with no voice Who live like slaves, and they've got no choice We must become the change that we really wanna see We must become the people we desire to be No matter your belief or the God you foresee If we can't find peace then we'll never be free How can we express ourselves, freedom is a lie Is a constant thought of mine when I talk to the sky So many questions that recieve no reply All I'm left to wonder in my head is why It's a dark cold world, life is a fight Tryna see clearly without going to the light
