Dead or Alive

[Intro]
I think they want me dead or alive
Flow immortal though I never could die
But forever I'm fly
Quit the pills, they was gettin' me by
I know the truth, they been tellin' me lies
That's why I barely could cry
Heaven sent, you see the Hell in my eyes
Tryna balance out the demons, feelin' leveled inside
I see street dudes with bodies go and tell on the guys
Just buckle up 'cause it's a hell of a ride

[Verse 1]
Yeah, drinkin' on the stoop as a youth, was a misfit
Sped kids spazzin' in my school was a statistic
Got a second chance, said I'm a fool if I risk it
Don't wanna let my mama down but dudes be on some bitch shit
Ask about Millyz, he just said I go ballistic
All these broken dreams feelin' nobody could fix it
Faded in the park off of dark got me twisted
Depression passed down from my pops, it's a sickness
My closest homie died at sixteen, I was fifteen
I just seen him layin' in his casket with his kicks clean
Buried him in J's and when they carried him away, I couldn't even shed a tear
Sittin', starin' in his face thinkin' I know I'ma be next
School life, I reject
I was knee-deep when they ain't even get they feet wet
Months passed, I'm sellin' crack runnin' from the detecs
Drinkin' Paul Masson out the bottle 'cause I be stressed
Ascended to my higher being, tired of seein' trauma
But my people back home keep comin' 'round me with that drama
Gossipin' about shit I don't ever wanna speak about
Sometimes I feel like stayin' in the crib because the reaper's out
Mama tried to keep me in the crib but I was sneakin' out
Baggin' up a busy in my bathroom 'cause the geekers out
Servin' all my neighbors, I was tryna pull some sneakers out
They heard about me 'round my way with music, I was beastin' out

[Interlude]
Um, when I met Millyz, um, he was talkin' to me
His mother was on his back 'cause he was-he had a lot of traffic in these streets out here
You know, he was a little younger than me so I didn't exactly know what it was
But I remember when I got him a job, that's the thing he asked me for
And, like, within that first week I got him a job, they tried to run down on him and-and they were shootin' at him
And that's when I realized he was really into some different things

[Verse 2]
Yeah, back to back cases, stood trial, only mama there
No one in my corner but them Perkys and Coronas
Opened up my eyes and it turned me to a loner
Fightin' like I'm grown at seventeen but I was grown-up
Fuck the whole industry, I made up my mind
Chasin' record deals is wastin' my time, I replace it with grinds
Before it's over, do my thing for the city
They don't appreciate what I bring to the city, but it's cool though
I still sat around with that pole in my pants
And I blow like a new rapper blow his advance
Keep my goals to myself, no one know all my plans
I seen them Percs had my bro in a trance, it's time to switch up
Starin' all my demons in the face, I never bitch up
Life hit me hard, knocked me down, I'm tryna get up
The same ones that said they never change, I seen 'em switch up
Now I'm on these stages and they lit up

[Outro]
Think they want me dead or alive
Think they want me dead or alive
Think they want me dead or alive
Think they want me dead or alive
I think they want me dead or alive
Flow immortal though I never could die
But forever I'm fly
Quit the pills, they was gettin' me by
I know the truth, they been tellin' you lies
That's why I'm here for you
