Cousin of Death - La Coka Nostra[00:00:00]
Glory fades and glory days ain't[00:00:11]
Always what they seem[00:00:14]
Give all I got and make my salaat[00:00:16]
And dream my broken dreams[00:00:19]
I crawl inside ball up and hide tuck[00:00:21]
My pain away[00:00:25]
And hope to God I fall into a sleep where[00:00:27]
I can stay[00:00:30]
We all got bills to settle[00:00:32]
We all got a price to pay[00:00:35]
And if I make it through the night[00:00:38]
I can fight another day[00:00:40]
They say it's better to burn out than[00:00:43]
It is to fade away[00:00:46]
I just hope to God[00:00:48]
I can fall into a sleep where I can stay[00:00:50]
It was a couple of years ago that[00:00:54]
I started becoming numb[00:00:55]
No one could understand where all[00:00:57]
My words were coming from[00:00:58]
Having visions of a nine to five[00:00:59]
A wife a blunt a son[00:01:01]
Of a life of hustle getting by[00:01:02]
With some of the running gun[00:01:03]
Is it best to be a crumb[00:01:04]
My ex says he's a bum[00:01:06]
Lashing out in violence whenever[00:01:07]
My destiny it hung[00:01:09]
In the balance rum I'm drinking gallons some think that my flows[00:01:10]
Are more poetic than the poems of[00:01:13]
Edgar Allen Poe[00:01:15]
But I know that I'm at a challenge though[00:01:17]
I can hold an old Calico to[00:01:18]
My dome and let my talents go[00:01:20]
Sh*t I spent my whole life around[00:01:22]
The violence so[00:01:23]
I planted seeds of hate oh[00:01:24]
I let my habits grow[00:01:26]
I slept with the homeless[00:01:27]
I copped with the fiends[00:01:28]
Lost the love inside my heart[00:01:29]
I even forgot what it means[00:01:30]
Seen the ripest nights turn into[00:01:32]
The rottenest schemes[00:01:33]
But through it all[00:01:34]
I have never forgotten my dreams[00:01:35]
When the gutters fill with blood[00:01:37]
That's spilled from friends that pass away[00:01:39]
And memories of eulogies while standing[00:01:43]
By their graves[00:01:46]
Just trying to survive[00:01:48]
We wind up living lives like slaves[00:01:50]
I hope to God[00:01:54]
I can fall into a sleep where[00:01:55]
I can stay[00:01:57]
We all got beef to settle we all got[00:01:59]
Demons to slay[00:02:02]
And if I pray all through the night[00:02:04]
I can fight another day[00:02:07]
They say it's better to burn out than[00:02:09]
It is to fade away[00:02:12]
I just hope to God[00:02:15]
I can fall into a sleep where[00:02:16]
I can stay[00:02:19]
Rest in peace to my homie Sob[00:02:21]
I stand before an altar of open[00:02:23]
Sepultures and coffins[00:02:24]
I heard Javier got killed it didn't seem real[00:02:26]
With an army of goons drinking straight vodka to deal[00:02:28]
We live and die by the gun wear[00:02:31]
Our hearts on our sleeves[00:02:33]
Even though our compassion's destined to die on the streets[00:02:34]
What's left over a cold hollow murder machine[00:02:37]
With an appetite for malevolence perversion[00:02:39]
And greed[00:02:41]
When one of us dies we don't really[00:02:42]
Learn anything[00:02:44]
Outside the funeral doing bumps burning trees[00:02:45]
Plotting revenge crying over fallen angels[00:02:48]
Sometimes your friends die the most[00:02:50]
Awkward strangers[00:02:52]
I can't lie sometimes[00:02:53]
This life makes me a stranger to myself[00:02:54]
But I'm pulling myself together[00:02:56]
It's bigger than just me[00:02:58]
As I spit this bear witness to truth[00:02:59]
My unborn seed listens while[00:03:01]
I spit in the booth[00:03:03]
Glory fades and glory days ain't always[00:03:04]
What they seem[00:03:07]
Give all I got and make my salaat[00:03:09]
And dream my broken dream[00:03:12]
I crawl inside ball up and hide tuck[00:03:15]
My pain away[00:03:18]
And hope to God I fall into a sleep where[00:03:20]
I can stay[00:03:24]
We all got bills to settle[00:03:26]
We all got a price to pay[00:03:28]
And if I make it through the night[00:03:31]
I can fight another day[00:03:34]
They say it's better to burn out than[00:03:36]
It is to fade away[00:03:39]
I just hope to God[00:03:42]
I can fall into a sleep where I can stay[00:03:43]
