Strong Lyrics by Kevin Gates

In the Meantime

2012

[Chorus: Kevin Gates]
I send this out to my soldiers up the road again
Still breathing, probably never coming home again
Lookin up to heaven asking where did we go wrong?
And tell me why forever got to be so long?
And be so strong, but we all break down
Staring through the bars down a long hallway and there's no way out
Out of sight, out of mind, got me lookin at the world like they forgot about us

[Verse 1: Young Scooter]
I got some niggas down the road and they ain't comin home
I think about them everyday I'm gettin my hustle on
But talk to them every day, they got cellphones
Realness behind the wall gettin they juug on
Put yourself in my shoes you probably wouldn't survive
I thank God every day I open up my eyes
Another thanks to my lawyer I escaped a dime
Any charge I ever had I took that shit to trial
Don't get caught with that cocaine
Gotta be smart in the dope game
The world is full of snitches
I hope I never go to prison

[Chorus: Kevin Gates]
I send this out to my soldiers up the road again
Still breathing, probably never coming home again
Lookin up to heaven asking where did we go wrong?
And tell me why forever got to be so long?
And be so strong, but we all break down
Staring through the bars down a long hallway and there's no way out
Out of sight, out of mind, got me lookin at the world like they forgot about us

[Verse 2: Kevin Gates]
Everybody I looked up to probably dead or doin life
Public pretender, the first offense he caught a flight
Had an old lady but she got tired and took a hike
Mother gettin older she startin to lose her sight
Mail call, never hears his name nobody writes
Got a couple pictures of old memories they hurt to look at
Reminiscin' about the what if's, hurt to look back
In a cell hearing screams in the night
Used to like the fight now he fightin for his life is the feeling
Stomach to the ceiling in a room full of killers
Living room resentment don't wanna hear about religion
This another story that ain't gotta a happy ending

[Chorus: Kevin Gates]
I send this out to my soldiers up the road again
Still breathing, probably never coming home again
Lookin up to heaven asking where did we go wrong?
And tell me why forever got to be so long?
And be so strong, but we all break down
Staring through the bars down a long hallway and there's no way out
Out of sight, out of mind, got me lookin at the world like they forgot about us
