Lyrics
Aye
Tryna takeoff like rocket man
Prayin' to God with his Glock in hand
That is the life of a ghetto child
That's why I'm tryna grind til I'm out that ghetto now
(Right now)
Knowing that we can do better
(Right now)
Prayin' that we do better
(Right now)
Knowing that we can do better
(Right now)
Prayin' that we do better, yeah
Uh, damn, I cannot make this up
This thing they call greed, it got 'em pushin' they luck
Threaten the fam, the Glock get upped, but that leave em thinkin' I'm crazy
Then we end up pushin' up daisies, before we can push out babies
Sick of this, I gotta get legit
Prayin' for better, we used to innocent, now we just ignorant
Chasin the cheddar, we should put an end to this
Open up businesses, but they rather put us in cages
And it's no wonder why we so lost, they got us living in mazes
Pray up to stay up, with G.O.D I came up
Can't lie I'm numb to it, I don't even really feel the pain much
Still I gotta work on it, never said I was perfect
But I cast out these demons on me that make me feel worthless, I'm certain
Aye
Tryna takeoff like rocket man
Prayin' to God with his Glock in hand
That is the life of a ghetto child
That's why I'm tryna grind til I'm out that ghetto now
(Right now)
Knowing that we can do better
(Right now)
Prayin' that we do better
(Right now)
Knowing that we can do better
(Right now)
Prayin' that we do better, yeah
Almost lost my mama, damn, why'd it have to be mine?
I'm just grateful, God said it wasn't her time
I remember when I was goin' thru it, runnin' thru bottles of wine
Thought that it wasn't a problem 'cause it wasn't liquor, already knew I was lyin' to myself
I was stuck in the room, actin' like I was fine by myself
Stressed, depressed, you name it
Mind runnin' like Usain and I didn't know how to slow down
