Throw Down

Ain't nothin' promised but death
But accepting it's kinda drastic
Momma scared to sleep
Cause she visioned me in a casket
Black, say he cursed
Somehow I feel like he past it
Now I hit the hood with a
K and a piece of plastic
Most of my sisters gone how the fuck
Is this shit apart of life?
Right after the judge send me brother
To do a couple lives
I know I'm supposed to be grateful
The devil made me hateful
Lookin' at my dog on the
Table condition wasn't stable
Told 'em "bring him back"
But the doctor told me they wasn't able
Walk with me I'll show you a movie
That shit you see on cable
They found my homie momma murdered
Face inside her Bible
He was destined for NFL, now he suicidal
Damn lookin' at my son, I only think to stay
Instead of thinkin' "what could
Make it worse?", i only think to pray
Cause where I'm from
They tell me all gangstas gon' die the same
Before I let 'em crash my dreams
I'mma fly like a plane

Always a go down, always a showdown
I'm on an up-and-up
Cause niggas is low down i be fuckin' up
Pray to God that I slow down
But this the fast life
Throw it up if you throw down
Always a go down, always a showdown
I'm on an up-and-up
Cause niggas is low down i be fuckin' up
Pray to God that I slow down
But this the fast life
Throw it up if you throw down

I know the fans listen
From the hood to Hollywood it's a transition
Face under my hood, just like a transmission
Grams to ambition I recall re'n-up
And a gram missin'
Mom Christian father was a black spade
Uncle funeral parlor cause of a black gauge
I rap, I'm paid, and they well jealous
They almost got me, I shot three
I'm from the hood, medicate
If Fred afraid, then tell us doubt that
Well money, murder, I'm 'bout that
And they about it, too
I'm tryin' stay focused
God forgive me what I'm 'bout to do
I know more people in a coma than diplomas
The gun powder aroma
With Coronas on the corner
Well, I play the stoop
And then i spray the deuce
Niggas lie my homie Trae the truth

Always a go down, always a showdown
I'm on an up-and-up
Cause niggas is low down i be fuckin' up
Pray to God that I slow down
But this the fast life
Throw it up if you throw down
Always a go down, always a showdown
I'm on an up-and-up
Cause niggas is low down i be fuckin' up
Pray to God that I slow down
But this the fast life
Throw it up if you throw down

Am I addicted to pain?
We'll stumble in the sun
But we'll never slip in the rain
Is insanity sane? I pray when I'm high or I
Ride now is that foul? Blowin' a blunt
But I'm exhalin' a black cloud
When I die, don't cry, nigga, laugh loud
Twenty-one gun salute with a mask
In a masked crowd shooter and the horker
But I don't wanna charger or sin
Take out my pain as the MC or the author
Brother gone, father gone
Couple of the homies gone
Time flyin', I'm ready to get my lonely on
I wanna see time fly with the Rolly on
Sort of like a Blood and Crip
Mixed with the Corleone
South African warrior blood, in my veins
With them Y-O, warrior bars, in my brains
With a tormented soul
'Til all my niggas roll with
The cars, and the gold
And the money to grow old

Always a go down, always a showdown
I'm on an up-and-up
Cause niggas is low down i be fuckin' up
Pray to God that I slow down
But this the fast life
Throw it up if you throw down
Always a go down, always a showdown
I'm on an up-and-up
Cause niggas is low down i be fuckin' up
Pray to God that I slow down
But this the fast life
Throw it up if you throw down
