From Me

[Intro: Stro]
Is this mic on? 1, 2, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh, in my lifetime
Yeah, yeah yeah, mmm

[Chorus: Marco McKinnis & Stro]
Baby (Last night) I've been thinkin'
About this situation
My life has been taken (My life)
From me (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But babe, you know (Uh)
That I just want love
Maybe a touch (Real shit)
Didn't know I had to try so hard (Yeah, yeah, check)

[Verse 1: Stro]
I play the corner in this lifetime, yeah
I feel accomplished when I write rhymes, yeah
I'm from the ghetto where it's chaotic
That dollar bill is hypnotic
If they don't kill, push product
Might find me sittin' in silence
This shit'll drive you crazy if you let it
L-O-V-E
Show it too much, you might regret it
Had you watchin' your watch
A tic a toc, you might be deaded
And all this life is a long split second, I don't forget it
So many ways to get caught in this maze, walk in my J's
Older folks talkin' back in the days, it's all a haze
We love it if it's purple
If you ain't gettin' money, then these honeys think you Urkle
I just sit back, look at my goals like, "Did I do that?"
All plans with no actions, mind full of distractions
From bills to thrills, use beats like treats peep
My feats runnin' the streets on the search for peace, at least, yeah

[Chorus: Marco McKinnis & Stro]
Baby, I've been thinkin'
About this situation
My life has been taken from me
But babe, you know
That I just want love (Uh, yup, yup)
Maybe a touch (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yuh)
Didn't know I had to try so hard (Check, check it out, yo)

[Verse 2: Stro & Marco McKinnis]
Stress is ample, souls burnin' like a candle
Mother suffer, father settin' bad examples
And nah, I wouldn't do it but my camp will
I'm different, only one on the block not aiming the Glock
They mention it
Heavenly gates now we picking the lock, God forgive us
But when we break the rules it be feeling like you with us
Those richest is anti nigga
They lookin' for a hand, I gave them the middle finger
Too young to be stressed (Ohh), is we corrupted? Yes (Ohh)
'Cause I define progress by checks and sex, uh (Ohh)
I know it's wrong but it feels so right (Ohh)
I can't be living by the books that them old folks write
I never read the Bible (Ohh)
Devil ain't trifle as this rifle
When doe get low (Ohh), we Jackson like Michael (Ohh-ho)
What I need I take, I dream of an escape (Ohh)
With peace, it'll be straight
For now, I just wait, wait (Ohh), wait

[Chorus: Marco McKinnis]
Baby, I've been thinkin'
About this situation
My life has been taken from me
But babe, you know
That I just want love
Maybe a touch
Didn't know I had to try so hard

[Outro: Marco McKinnis]
Mmm, hmm, ohh-ho, uh, na-na-na-na, babe, la-la, uh
