By Your Side

[Verse 1]
Rest in peace Aunt Susan
Every day is a war and we losing
But I live by the sword and I'm moving
And I pray to the Lord for improvement
I ain't never had a fair shot
I killed people and I never got a teardrop
I let a tear drop, his life real or not?
I knew it wasn't when I heard Kamir shot
And what the fuck I'm supposed to say to Kamir pops?
I seen my dreams come true in a clear pot
Always say we fear God and we still sin
How that nigga take a loss and he still win?
How his money so high to the ceiling
But won't give a dollar to his children?
I ain't nevеr seen light here
I seen crack turns dreams into nightmarеs
Just act a little boy who won't get dinner
And his house cold, he ain't got heat in it
And his mom in the streets chasing a hit
But the same thing make a broke nigga rich
You don't break homes but you help with something
You will die poor before the help come
Now he's in killer's court, in the system
Cause their house burned down around Christmas

[Verse 2]
Uncle Jesty passed on
I hope his blessings pass on
How you live with your mom and your dad gone?
It's like you living out a sad song
All my niggas fell victim
To the cops and the courts and the prisons
No way out, caught in the system
I got three kids so I gotta risk it
And I risk my freedom
So my kids have food in the freezer
So my mom can plug in the heater
So my nephew can have new sneakers
Where I'm from kids go to school bummy
Then they drop out cause they need money
It's cold outside but he still cope
He said "Fuck hope", he need a winter coat
Dad in jail, mom on coke
Drug dealers is all he know
And he live through the thoughts of his parents
And he struggle cause nobody caring
Hustle for the clothes that he wearing
He scream but there's nobody hearing
And Allah is the only one I'm fearing
But why cry when I look in the mirror?
