I just wanna' feel sometimes
Wait until the pills come
Man, this can't be real son
I just need to chill sometimes
Wait until my meal comes
Think I gotta' steal some
I just need to kill some time
I can feel the darkness chasing at my heels son
I just need to kill sometimes
[Hook: Angelo Mota]
Thirst for the blood and the cash and the drugs and we tell 'em it ain't safe outside (x4)
Thirst for the blood and the cash and the drugs
[Verse 1: Angelo Mota]
I don't have a reason for it
Throw myself right off my axis
I can't even keep in orbit
I can't even keep it morbid
Keep your circle tight
So why the company you keep enormous?
I done been to hell and back
Lots don't even delve in that
Well in fact
Saw the devil then I put a shell in that
Shelve your fucking doubts
Don't talk to me 'til you scared to leave the couch
Cause you won't make it back around
Kinda' like a drive-by driving back around
To back 'em down
We back to burning Black and Milds, like back to back
So now our lungs ain't working too well
Teen spirit got a new smell
They got a Kenan on the news every motherfucking week
Shot down by the police
But best believe they'll probably shoot Kel too
Say a prayer for the mothers and the babies that they lose
All because he wearing red and baby blue

Tell 'em it ain't safe outside
Guaranteed there's heart break outside
Yeah, my nigga imma' place out by
Don't you see? I got dreams out there
And it's paper outside, so I pray for my God
I already lost a homie this year and that's nothing to some guys
And I try to stay wise
But I ain't never trust the police and I gotta' be polite like
Officer please don't shoot me down, I didn't commit the crime
I know you ain't got no worry, yeah you still come for my life
But I ain't shoot no sheriff, I don't know no deputy
Yeah, I want peace with all of them, and yet some want death for me
