Lyrics
[Frsh Waters]
Is this caution a cause
It’s justified in my eyes sometimes I (you) got God
But other times, other times we feel like
We wanna let our guards down
That’s not how to survive
Never ending cycle of life
Most times we on Guard

[Saba]
Life is fighting while nobody notices
Die a man or live out like the soldiers
Life is filled with answers that make no sense
Live a man or die out like the soldiers

I hope the world learn to value the life of my unborn yea
Cuz what Imma tell them when the time get here
I’m dying from asphyxiation from the weight of the world
While in the waiting room I’m waiting for the birth of my girl
How imma be a troop tryna lead a troop of my own
You know what they do to a home
That's why I bought this here chrome
Don’t need a automatic
Not Paula Patton
But two guns yea I thought about it
We caught a cab and
Like a rally
We drove it through the rain while my girl is in pain
It's not impossible to think that we just made a mistake
Cause to play the part of father is a sacred art to toddlers
City made a mark upon us imma say the Our Father
All I can do is pray that they don’t make me an example
Cause safety is something that is not here like a bantu
It’s like I’m drafted and I gotta leave the family
I’m just hoping I return with all my body parts attached to me
Yea, exactly

Life is fighting while nobody notices
Die a man or live out like the soldiers
Life is filled with answers that make no sense
Live a man or die out like the

[Joseph Chilliams]
I know I’m poor
But I don’t wanna go to war
The whole mission I’ll just miss mi amor
In the trenches among henchmen and gore
Calling for the lord like a slave with a sword
Watching my back like my ass getting fat
Told recruiters right before they shoot us
That I can’t differentiate between blue and black so I can duck the draft and remain intact
In camouflage I’ll still be a snack
Be a star in the desert like the Bible
Like beautiful girls I’ll have dudes suicidal
They can’t shoot me they tryna shoot they shot fuck a bullet and a rifle
And it’s too hot just imagine when the gun let
Off in the crossfire more than one death
Scope on my curves like I’m in a sundress
Drones follow me around after sunset
I’m getting hunted

Life is fighting while nobody notices
Die a man or live out like the soldiers
Life is filled with answers that make no sense
Live a man or die out like the soldiers
Forgive me I only meant well
Still fighting everyday with myself

[MFnMelo]
Through the land of the fallen
While you wait
Awake by the morning, someone prayed
I was told to soak it all in like sun rays
But the sun’s like a grenade
