[Verse 1: Deuce Deuce]
Look into my eyes young nigga I'm a product of pain
Got love for these streets where I was born and raised
From the cradle to the grave, saints to sinners
Stay paintin' them pictures, never timid
'Cause I'ma sin again hope god forgive us (God forgive us)
They caught on the psalms service of the quor-an
Been in a box facin' my palms build a knot, mama cry
God D-O'd middlefinger to my P-O
These are revelations of a nation, your legs stay racin' (Racin')
You even know what you're chasin'? (Do you?)
It's only you in the mirror you're facin'
Part of life, struggle is real еmbrace it
I've seen the rеalest crack (Realest) Says she love you to death
How quick she turned her back (Turned on ya)
Give 'em a hand they want your whole arm (Whole arm)
Quick to turn on ya, can't wait to drop the bar
Share your last meal, the same ones that'll watch you starve
[Chorus: Aktual, Young Noble]
When it rains it pours on all of us (All of us)
The enemy is tryna destroy all of us
You better fight for your life (Fight)
Only the strong will survive ('vive)
It's like we're at war, with ourselves (Oh no no no)
Everybody run when they hear the shots fire (Fire)
And I ain't backin' down if they try (Yeah) To take mines
[Verse 2: Young Noble]
Yeah, we came up on the corners (Corners) Dirty with work (Dirty wit' work)
It's gon' be ya own brotha that's gon' do the devils dirty work (Damn)
Have you laid out, couple holes in your shirt (Shirt)
You was just hangin' out, face down in the dirt
You never would've thought it (Thought it)
The signs you ignored 'em (Ignored 'em)
Ain't tryna take no more losses, I can't afford 'em (Nah)
The OG's taught us to keep movin' forward (Forward)
Preserve all my energy for shit that's important (C'mon)
Tryna stay cool when the summer time scorchin'
Tryna stay dry, when them bullets start pourin'
Niggas go to war with the man in the mirror (Mirror)
The enemy is within you can't see the big picture nigga
Don't write rhymes, I write scriptures
We warned you twenty years ago, you didn't listen (Listen)
This shit is goin' down exactly how we predicted (Yeah)
Tryna save this lost generation of children (Damn)
[Chorus: Aktual]
When it rains it pours on all of us (All of us)
The enemy is tryna destroy all of us
You better fight for your life (Fight)
Only the strong will survive ('vive)
It's like we're at war, with ourselves (Oh no no no)
Everybody run when they hear the shots fire (Fire)
And I ain't backin' down if they try to take mines
[Verse 3: E.D.I. Mean]
King's blood in my veins (Veins) A true thugs dream (Dream)
Twenty year vet, I've been doin' my thing (Uh huh)
Through the storms, I manage to keep my mind on paper (That's right)
Bitches in my way I kept my mind on paper (Chea)
Smarter than the rest, third eye on the hater (I see you)
Nickle slick nigga, plottin', plannin to get it (Get it)
My daughter need a daddy, and that ain't mean my only child
Some niggas I would have shot befo' ain't gettin' passes now (No)
Ridin' through the city, litty since nine six
Starin' at the world through my rearview reminisce
Blowin' piff, holdin' my own never settle for shit (For shit)
I'd rather settle it with metal if it come down (Pow) To it
Keep heat for the cold hearted
Umbrellas for the black rain, we stacked through the pain
We keep heat for the cold hearted
Umbrellas for the black rain, we stacked through the pain
Man!
[Chorus: Aktual & Tha Realest]
When it rains it pours on all of us (All of us)
The enemy is tryna destroy all of us
You better fight for your life (Fight)
Only the strong will survive ('vive)
It's like we're at war, with ourselves (Oh no no no)
Everybody run when they hear the shots fire (Fire)
And I ain't backin' down if they (Yeah) try to take mines
[Verse 4: Tha Realest]
My mama smoke crack, my sisters snort cocaine
Sometimes it's hard to maintain
But ain't no rules in this game, you niggas steady switchin' lanes
I think they all scared to have fame (Fame)
I must admit I have some bad habits
I'm drinkin' alcohol like a fuckin' sex addict (Ha ha)
And even though I ask the lord if my time is up
And all he said was "mo'fucka I thought yo' ass was tough"
He called my bluff, and even though I'm born a sinner
I had to make a promise nigga, I'ma die a winner
Look me in my eyes, heaven have mercy on me
The projects gon' love when don't nobody else want me
(Lean sippin') Trap money lean sippin' for ghetto boys
Understand this life we live is hella hard
I close my eyes and ask just one question (one question)
Before I die, give my homeboys the blessin'
