What Can I Do Now Lyrics

Some bodies on the case

Erybody’s all awake

Gunshots all up in the air

More bullets fly away

Sirens I’m hearing em (sirens I’m hearing em)

My people are fearing em (people are fearing em)

The police are killing em (police are killing em)

Nobody believing em (nobody believing em)

It’s a sick, twisted, world, yet I, knew I would’ve been

Just another known statistic if I went deeper within

Since my, brothers, were all, in it, I was, sickened, to begin

Start another, chain reaction in the city of Richmond

2012 I was closer to my doom

Not because the world was ending, but because I was confused

Taught these kids how to bang, little soldiers I’d recruit

Now I look back to the past, think of what they went through

Did some coke, smoke some weed, threatened people outta beef

Tryna seduce different women, living lavishly to me

I was tryna build an army, make a kingdom as a king

I was blind to my own slavery, I did not want to see

What Could I Do Now, Do Now

Just let it go, just let it go

As If I Knew How, Knew How

There's always hope, there's always hope

I thought I had the squad out, But sum I never thought out

Was could I go more far out, Than anything I kept on now

My search for power was my remedy from pain

And the trauma that I had, ever since until that day

The times I was wylin, fighting, doing, Pushing my motives, now pursuing

Something more darker, had my crew, wanted to group more firm for the blue

But lately was making a fool outta myself, Was spitting these lyrics, wanted to rebel

Against all who help me, I always would tell, “Forget all the help, if I die then Oh Well”

Always resisted, they literally get, persistent and wished that one day I'd regret

From trying to bang cuz I’m wasting my sweat, My momma would pray that one day I’d repent

My mom wasn’t Christian, or at least not yet, all she could do was just hope for the best

Like you know how worried your mother would get, because I want more than to be a cadet

I wanted to show I was fit for the set, I’d throw up the flag and be put to the test

I’d look up to homies who held up the set, my brothers would stop but I’d go on instead

“Like Hold Up, you think that after all this is a game

You better put it down, and make sure you ain’t a lame”

What Could I Do Now, Do Now

Just let it go, just let it go

As If I Knew How, Knew How

There's always hope, there's always hope

I think back about the times that I was chased with my brothers

Like my thoughts would be to put these rival bangers to the gutter

6 Feet deep would be my thinking, slowly getting bloodthirsty

Since my dad was gone away, wanted some to think I’m worthy

Butterfly knife, brass knuckles, 22 I’d keep away

Had it ready for my homies, in case if someone would spray

I knew well it’s not okay, I felt like I made a mistake

But the one thought that would grab me was “Don’t be a punk, mayne”

Did some spraying and some vandalism, thinking I was could handle living

After homies passed away was thinking, “I can’t keep pretending”

Felt I couldn’t do it so I tried to kill myself

Second time matter of fact, bruh for sure mentally ill

It was not until I knew I felt the need for someone greater

So a homie told me that I need to meet the true Creator

Looking back six years later, best decision that I made

I no longer bang a color, I’m a whole new man today

What Could I Do Now, Do Now

Just let it go, just let it go

As If I Knew How, Knew How

There's always hope, there's always hope
