[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Yo, day in the life of me and the Lord is my keeper
When I was young I thought turning 16 would be sweeter
But, at least I didn't get stabbed and pouring blood by the liter
At least I didn't get myself sprayed by 9 millimeters
But I'm so eager, to see the future, hope it be super
But I just hope it don't end up in the hands of state troopers
Persecutors, become shooters, when danger's alert
And that pill come harder to swallow with a stranger desert
And strangers exert, some kindness, but my blindness, never find this
Cause chambers will hurt, when bullets come out flying, I'm relying
On my mother to work, but she done bust her back for years
Make me reassess myself when I be choosing my careers
And my peers, may love me, say I'm ugly, fucking lovely
They ain't got the balls to say it to me like they ducking rugby
And, I'm so surrounded by madness but I'm a shake it out
Wait, I tell a hater I'm a make it out
[Hook]
But ugh ugh, ugh ugh, I know you love it
It's for my niggas who be beating on them buckets
Yea I'm beating on a bucket and I'm proud
So spare some change so I can go buy this loud x2
[Verse 2]
Day 2 from me tell me who see I was good
They just turn the other when I'm putting on my hood
Cause I am proud of myself, and I am proud of my health
This is why in black kids I'm disallowed from the wealth
They want to state a statement restating engage in what they don't like
Cash out in Rack City mercy me, they so clone like
I mean conformity is normally created
But we gotta break the mold in which the rich initiated
Cause suburban life ain't for me, I hope my dad can see that
Cause I am not the dude to be riding bikes with some kneecaps
Hardknocking I'm rocking the block, but stopping the Glock
Nah, I ain't bout that life, I'm just in school, watching the clock
I hope it ring so I can sing or rap, Bing myself and take a nap
Might take a few years but my talents on a few gears
And, I'm so surrounded by madness but I'm a shake it out
Wait, I tell a hater I'm a make it out
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Day 3 is present upon myself I'm incessant
My light is bright I'm fluorescent, I'm talented in pubescence
My confidence, reach the continents, opulence
For my consonants, monumental I'm gentle, perplexed in the mental
And, you be judgmental, I advise you, like parental
But ya'll niggas wanna play the game without the fundamentals
You detrimental, to society, I'm a just empower it
Another time we say fuck the world, I deflowered it
I hope you ain't lurking, I search within, my soul
And I ain't gotta be a hockey man to address all my goals
And you fold, to petty ish so many wish they ain't do it
How you expecting some kindness when I rap you just boo it
But, let me just say you can't blast it up, You can't ask enough
Of me, Cause I break your spirit easy like a plastic cup
I'm so surrounded by madness but I'm a make it out
Wait, motherfucker I just made it out
[Outro]
Naw, fuck that, I know you love it
This for my niggas who beating on them buckets
Yea I'm beating on a bucket and I'm proud
So spare some change so I can go buy this loud nigga
I know you love it
This for my niggas who be beating on them buckets
Yea I'm beating on a bucket and I'm proud
So spare some change....
