Things We Have to Do

[Hook]
Violent as I'll ever be, play the violin for me
I'll be dead within a week if I stay the trend that I'll seek
Steady searching for revenge in the wrong parts of the streets
I'm invincible, can't nobody touch me
Violent as I'll ever be, play the violin for me
I'll be dead within a week if I stay the trend that I'll seek
Steady searching for revenge in the wrong parts of the streets
I'm invincible, can't nobody touch me

[Verse 1]
Violent as I'll ever be, play the violin for me
I'll be dead within a week if I stay the trend that I'll seek
Steady reaching for revenge in the wrong parts of the streets
I'm invincible can't nobody touch me
Let's put it bluntly; I feel I'm the nigga when I'm gripping the steel
Primal instinct when I hop in the field
So many nights it got real
Their was a moment where the friction was filled
A nigga pressed me from the back of my heels
("Get the fuck down, my nigga, and run the pockets!")
So there I was staring death in the face
Fighting the thoughts of Pearly Gates or rehearsing my grave
That's when I heard a voice fervently say:
"Run them pockets, or I'mma catch a body today"
It got me silent, I'm diving between my options of being cautious or push the mood obnoxious
Show this bitch potential problems
He press the gun to my 'noggin
My heart had dropped when he cocked it
Dropped a tear from the side of me drop and see life in my optics
Choir[?] my conscious say goodbye to life at this moment
Then he pushed me to the ground and put the chrome to my dome and
Swore to squeeze if I don't give what I'm holding
I couldn't move 'cause my whole body was frozen
Next thing I know he put the gun to my teeth
Told me open up, I hold enough lead for a week
I'm broken down
I started removing all the stuff off of me
From the dough inside my wallet to the kicks on my feet
Removed the watch and then the belt from my jeans
Just whatever I could reach so this nigga'll retreat
Pullin' pens from in my pocket, I don't know what he needs
Finally he broke away with the soul that I breathe
So there I was feeling down on myself
Surrounded by demons I'm reinforcing my scales
Understand how I felt my pride and dignity shelved
Thank the Lord that I'm well, but parts of me went to hell
Evil might just prevail overlooking for peace, that's the truth
I'm sitting here pondering over absolute
Whether not it's time for me to start packing too
These are simply the things that we have to do

[Hook]
Violent as I'll ever be, play the violin for me
I'll be dead within a week if I stay the trend that I'll seek
Steady searching for revenge in the wrong parts of the streets
I'm invincible, can't nobody touch me
Violent as I'll ever be, play the violin for me
I'll be dead within a week if I stay the trend that I'll seek
Steady searching for revenge in the wrong parts of the streets
I'm invincible, can't nobody touch me
