DU MO LIVIN Lyrics

Keep seeing my people out there dying

I ain't trying to sleep too much

Don't wanna waste no time

Gotta do more living in this world while I'm alive

Ain't getting no younger

So I'm staying up on my grind

Any day could be my last

The Reaper's on my back

I live in a world that ain't no fair to brown and black

Everytime I see 5-0 I brace for an attack

And Once they come for me

There ain't no turning back

I get it you might be too young to understand this

They say that age is just a number

Understand that Gods plan seems underhanded

Like we living just to perish

Yet we' expected to live life without a blemish

In a world where roads are hellish

And I'm over half a century

One more quarter and I'll reach my life expectancy

So I gotta spread love every day yeah

Cuz I know tomorrow I might go away yeah

Gotta try and reach my goals while I'm still breathing

But it feels like aint enough time for me to to even

Dream about all the things I wanna be and

Can I give my kids everything they'll ever need and

Will I see my babies graduate and be wed

Or will these good things happen when a brother's dead

Ain't on my deathbed

But it feels like the sands are falling too fast

And the reaper's bout to get the last laugh

Keep seeing my people out there dying

I ain't trying to sleep too much

Don't wanna waste no time

Gotta do more living in this world while I'm alive

Ain't getting no younger

So I'm staying up on my grind

Any day could be my last

The Reaper's on my back

I live in a world that ain't no fair to brown and black

Everytime I see 5-0 I brace for an attack

And Once they come for me

There ain't no turning back

You know it's

Hard to keep a grin on but I'm trying

They saying things'll get better, I think they lying

Every day another pain another spot

Snow is taking over my locks

Can't slow down, but if I don't, and go too fast

My heart might stop

So please don't tell me I'll be fine

If you ain't generation X

Death ain't breathing down your neck

You don't know my fears

You ain't got next in line

If you ain't looking down the barrel of a gun

Your sanity on the run

You ain't got a clue and I know that you can't even fathom

What I'm going through

And I can't turn it back

But It's like I'm racing time

I just wanna live

Long enough to see my kids

Doing better than I ever did

I just buried mama

Got me thinking bout my own trauma

Thinking I'm on borrowed time

No drama

This as real as it gets

Cold sweat

Keep seeing my people out there dying

I ain't trying to sleep too much

Don't wanna waste no time

Gotta do more living in this world while I'm alive

Ain't getting no younger

So I'm staying up on my grind

Any day could be my last

The Reaper's on my back

I live in a world that ain't no fair to brown and black

Everytime I see 5-0 I brace for an attack

And Once they come for me

There ain't no turning back

I get up at 3 am and pray

Not for me but all the people I'm gonna miss if my body fades away

Sometimes my guilt is heavy weighed

Was I wrong for bringing life into this earth at such an antiquated age

It's Hard to not stare at these clocks

When I got so much to do

I stay wondering if I bit off way more than I could chew

Cuz I can't keep up with time

It's too fast to see things through

I keep eating with my eyes

Too much undone, plate too full

Was I too fooled to see what's real

Look I'm not the man of steel

But it's too late - can't turn back

Change up-I don't want that

Real talk

I love my kids

Real talk

I love my wife

Real talk

Don't get it twisted my boy

I love my life

So I gotta hold it down

I gotta hold my head up while im still around

I Can't let death be all I see

Can't let be all I'm about

And I can't drown in misery

I gotta do more living now

Keep seeing my people out there dying

I ain't trying to sleep too much

Don't wanna waste no time

Gotta do more living in this world while I'm alive

Ain't getting no younger

So I'm staying up on my grind

Any day could be my last

The Reaper's on my back

I live in a world that ain't no fair to brown and black

Everytime I see 5-0 I brace for an attack

And Once they come for me

There ain't no turning back
