Where is she taking me... All I have in life is my new appetite for failure And I got hunger pain that grow insane Tell me do that sound familiar? If it do then you're like me Making excuse that your relief Is in the bottom of the bottle And the greenest indo leaf As the window open I release Everything that corrode inside of me I see you joking, why you laugh? Don't you feel bad? I probably sleep and never ever wake up Never ever wake up, never ever wake up In God I trust but just when I thought I had enough They stomped the homie out over a bitch? K-dot, you good, blood? Now we can drop, ye we can drop you back off That nigga's straight man, that nigga ain't tripping We gon' do the same ol' shit I'ma pop a few shots, they gon' run They gon' run opposite ways Fall right in ----'s lap And he gon' tear they ass up, simple as that And I hope that bitch that set him up Out there, we gon' pop that bitch too Wait hold up, aye I see somebody (Car door opens and gunshots are fired) Aha! Got them niggas, K-dot, you good? L----, you good? Yeah blood, I'm good, Dave, you good? Dave? Dave, say something - Dave? These bitch ass niggas killed my brother!
