Out Like Dat Lyrics by Declaime, Madlib

In the Beginning Vol. 1

2021

[Intro]
Kids killing kids
Niggas killing niggas
That shit ain't cool

[Verse 1]
Who's gun is that? Laying on his back
By a shotty, twice to the body
Why must I worry?
About being tookin out man
I'm on a mission to live a full life [?]
Why can't we just fight man to man
Compete for a [?] take a man of your mental
It's simple be creative and make use of mans
Black on black crime it just has to end
Moms up at night wondering if its gonna be alright
We didn't act this way, on the slave ships, we stood hip to hip
We didn't set trip, races hating races, when will the shit stop
When all bodies drop

[Chorus]
Why do we go out like this
When we hit the streets theirs no turning back
Why do we go out like this
When we hit thе streets theirs no turning back
Why do we go out like this

[Verse 2]
I'vе gotten into crossfire at the liqour store
Missiles projecting all directions every second
I duck but still stuck, stright to the chest with no vest
I come to rest back to the concreate
My wounds start to leak, on the street
The fluid that passes my frame
On a strecher to somewhere
I wonder will my moms be there (no)
To help me through the saddness
In and out of consciousness
I didn't even want to go out like this
I could've been a star one day
But a piece of led got in my way
Sometimes the innocent pay for the crime of weak minded men
I'll never live again

[Chorus]
Why do we go out like that
When we hit the streets theirs no turning back
Why do we go out like this
When we hit the streets theirs no turning back
Why do we go out like this
Why do we go out like this
When we hit the streets theirs no turning back
Why do we go out like this
When we hit the streets theirs no turning back
Why do we go out like this
