Still Breathing

I pray before I sleep, I give thanks when I rise

I understand it's a blessing just to open your eyes

Look, I get up and go get it, this life, I live it

Lost time is a commodity that's way too expensive

I done seen people play and had to pay what they owe

Leaving this Earth with regrets is not the way you should go

But yo, death is not the end when the spirit transcends

Losing family is hard but we gon' see 'em again

To everybody that lost somebody, my condolences

My heart goes out to you, you know what it is

Somebody didn't wake up, somebody got stabbed

Somebody lost they life in a fatal car crash

How could I complain when I'm still here breathing?

How can we complain? We blessed to still breathing

Somebody parents gone, the homie took his life

My other partner caught a couple shots last night

How could I complain when I'm still here breathing?

How can we complain? We blessed to still breathing

I lost another family member, another loved one

I'm tired of funerals and letting doves up

I'm so thankful for the moments and grateful for the memories

Check on your folks that got suicidal tendencies

Yeah, all the signs is there but you choose to ignore it

Screaming out for help but how you gon' help? You can't help yourself

Living life day by day, step by step

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

The homie got gone, God rest his soul

The other homie got stretched, life, no parole

He got a precious baby girl just a few months old

That he'll never be able to hold and watch her grow

Pick up your problems, throw 'em down and pick 'em back up

Pick up another nigga problems, see if your problems is that tough

See, life is what you make it, we all make mistakes

Ain't nobody perfect but you gotta be accountable

So quit complaining about life like it's really that bad

You woke up another day, you got another chance

I hope my people understand what I'm really saying

Life ain't promised, ain't no time to be playing, nah

Somebody didn't wake up, somebody got stabbed

Somebody lost they life in a fatal car crash

How could I complain when I'm still here breathing?

How can we complain? We blessed to still breathing

Somebody parents gone, the homie took his life

My other partner caught a couple shots last night

How could I complain when I'm still here breathing?

How can we complain? We blessed to still breathing
