I Didn't Ask To Come - Goodie Mob[00:00:00]
Everyday somebody gets killed[00:00:10]
What's the deal it's 1995[00:00:12]
And a nigga wanna live the type of[00:00:14]
Life that people dream[00:00:16]
I want things a crib a car while living the life of a king[00:00:17]
I know I take for granted at times for what I got[00:00:21]
Still hustlin' and bustlin'[00:00:24]
And now and then I stand a pop or two to come up[00:00:25]
A steady battle through the days[00:00:27]
Mamma think I'm wrong because I wanna get paid[00:00:29]
The system aint given T-mo a chance[00:00:32]
22 on the loose and black[00:00:33]
Trying to get the noose a little slack around my neck[00:00:35]
They making it hard for a brother to cope[00:00:38]
It's still illegal to smoke cess cause they can't tax[00:00:40]
I'm ready to go up shit until they give my freedom back [00:00:43]
Service to what who[00:00:45]
Damn you got caught sought away out[00:00:46]
The trait is getting full calling up your pull[00:00:48]
But pull aint got it [00:00:54]
I fell cold inside like[00:00:55]
A man sleeping on pavement[00:00:56]
Under the bridge of I-20 west[00:00:57]
And stress on the face of the man[00:00:59]
Cussing out the atmosphere[00:01:01]
With nobody close enough to hear[00:01:02]
And who dat miss they fee[00:01:04]
'Cause all they personal shit[00:01:05]
Is sitting on the front lawn of Apple Tree[00:01:07]
And for those who aint got take[00:01:09]
Before the owner shows back up with the U-haul[00:01:11]
Police you call[00:01:13]
But wasn't no marshall there to watch your stuff[00:01:14]
See I stand tall to this world[00:01:16]
Like a kid walking rapping his rhymes to himself[00:01:18]
A book on a shelf of many[00:01:20]
MC's seen them come and go[00:01:22]
Style free with Cool Breeze[00:01:24]
Til it's thick like dat fog[00:01:26]
Stacking away my extra for a engine for tha hog[00:01:27]
Dropping a point from the East[00:01:30]
>From a location out tha trees[00:01:31]
360 degrees [00:01:33]
Born into these crooked ways[00:01:34]
I never even ask to come so now[00:01:38]
I'm living in the days[00:01:40]
I struggle and fight to stay alive[00:01:41]
Hoping that one day I'd earn the chance to die[00:01:43]
Pallbearer to this one pallbearer to that one[00:01:47]
Can't seem to get a grip 'cause my palms is sweatin' [00:01:50]
Niggas aint getting no where fast but [00:01:53]
Closer to the hearse[00:01:55]
Why sunbeam burst off baskets nearly blinding me[00:01:55]
Almost dropped ma end of the casket[00:02:00]
Woodgrain and the only thang on my brain[00:02:02]
Is where this coward hang[00:02:04]
(SWATS) South West Atlanta Fountain Lane[00:02:06]
Forgot the batch niggah got thirty years[00:02:08]
Lord forgive me and my foes I know[00:02:11]
Revenge is best served when cold by those[00:02:14]
Who feel no guilt[00:02:16]
God don't care whether you got a spade or not[00:02:17]
Aint no turning in your playing hand you was dealt[00:02:20]
Better tighten up your belt man always go with[00:02:22]
The first instinct because I don't make the rules[00:02:25]
Oooh you know how it is in these streets[00:02:28]
Victims rarely get a chance to think twice[00:02:30]
As he laid in the final resting place[00:02:32]
He had such a peaceful expression in his face[00:02:35]
My visions blurry from crying[00:02:38]
But it aint hard to see that[00:02:39]
At any time it coulda been me[00:02:41]
It's about 90 degrees outside[00:02:43]
But yet it felt like i'm froze[00:02:44]
The ceremonies come to a close[00:02:46]
I toss a rose but just can't seem to walk away yet[00:02:47]
Damn I done f**ked around and got upset[00:02:52]
But it aint nothing we can do[00:02:54]
It's bigger than me and you[00:02:56]
One day our time coming too[00:02:57]
So aint no use in being sad[00:02:58]
Leaving here was probably the best gift he ever had[00:03:01]
We should be glad[00:03:03]
Maybe his life was something[00:03:05]
That he had to give to show me[00:03:06]
That I need to be responsible about how I live[00:03:08]
I won't complain about my pain[00:03:11]
But I just aint gone let my niggas die in vain[00:03:12]
So Bean I'm gone make it for you[00:03:15]
The cycle that these young black men keep goin through[00:03:17]
I'm gone break it for you[00:03:19]
And start takin care of me[00:03:20]
And me consist of all my friends and my family[00:03:22]
From now on until I'm gone [00:03:25]
Born into these crooked ways[00:03:29]
I never even ask to come so now[00:03:31]
I'm living in the days[00:03:33]
I struggle and fight to stay alive[00:03:34]
Hoping that one day I'd earn the chance to die[00:03:36]
Pallbearer to this one pallbearer to that one[00:03:39]
Can't seem to get a grip 'cause [00:03:41]
My palms is sweatin'[00:03:44]
