Groomed for the Tomb Lyrics

We got a long way

A long way to go

We got a long way

We don't wanna live like this no more

When the creek rise then you gotta rise too

If the beef died then somebody died too

On the east side where they probably find you

We don't wanna live like this

You better swerve if they get behind you

They don't wanna see you free, they wanna confine you

You a black man, need I remind you

We don't wanna live like this

You don't know how many jobs that nigga applied to

They tellin' him to change and baby he tryin' to

He feelin' all alone, nobody to cry to

He don't wanna live like this

So he gettin' high feelin' suicidal

But every time he overdose somebody revive him

What if he had a father figure, somebody to guide him

He wouldn't have to live like this no more

We got a long way

A long way to go

We got a long way

We don't wanna live like this no more

The sun don't shine where the dark child grows

I lost my mind now

We don't wanna live like this no more

Stealin' out of candy town, family wearin' hand-me-downs

Mama stressin' out so we at granny house

I was only 10, I understand it now

14 and pregnant with her belly out

She told me pull her panties down, I'm bailing out

No one ever taught me

Watched a couple videos until my mama caught me

Should I wear a condom even though she carrying an offspring

Hold up, what's a HIV and STD, I'm sorry bae you lost me

It's awfully ironic how the kids raisin' kids

How they gon' tell us not to do some shit they woulda did

Probably why my daddy smirked when he found out I did some dirt

Niggas honor what ain't honorable, your honor how that work

You can't punish me for doin' what I see

Prison never rehabilitated shit, let's keep it G

We was doomed from the womb, we was groomed for the tomb

In the streets we tycoons, but in they eyes we just goons

We got a long way

A long way to go

We got a long way

We don't wanna live like this no more

The sun don't shine where the dark child grows

I lost my mind now

We don't wanna live like this

We got a long way

A long way to go

We got a long way

We don't wanna live like this no more

The sun don't shine where the dark child grows

I lost my mind now, we don't wanna live like this

We don't, we don't, we don't, we don't

We don't, we don't, we don't, we don't

We don't, we don't, we don't, we don't

We don't, we don't, we don't, we don't

We don't wanna live like this no more

We don't wanna live like this no more

We don't wanna live

We don't wanna live

We don't wanna live like this
