My Life

I can hear it in the cold of the night
Y'all niggas wanna take my life
Oh, I been tryna do right
But they still wanna take my life
Oh, I can hear it in the cold of the night
Y'all niggas wanna take my life
Oh, I been tryna do right
But they still wanna take my life
Oh

I can feel it in the night time
I say the Lord gave life but these niggas wanna take mine
I heard it through the grape vine
They ain't happy to fail, they'd rather see me burnin' in hell
And that's the truth
They'll set you up, got proof
Think about the twelve disciples
And what one traitor did to Christ for small cheese
And they'll do it to me
Damn, and they'll do it to you
It only takes one in your crew
To cock back, black, and take your life from you
To cock back, black, and take your life from you
Damn

I can hear it in the cold of the night
Y'all niggas wanna take my life
Oh, I been tryna do right
But they still wanna take my life
Oh, I can hear it in the cold of the night
Y'all niggas wanna take my life
Oh, I been tryna do right
But they still wanna take my life
Oh

Think about the slave trade
We sold our own just to get paid
And nowadays it's the same thing
They let your brains hang
White folks contributed to gang bang-ing
Dope slang-ing
Man, but we all some thugs
The same one that you love'll kill your ass for drugs
Then come to the funeral with kisses and hugs
For your mom, your sister, your brother and all
And really all he wanted was to see you fall
Best friend dead so this nigga can ball
Best friend dead so this nigga can ball
Damn

I can hear it in the cold of the night
Y'all niggas wanna take my life
Oh, I been tryna do right
But they still wanna take my life
Oh, I can hear it in the cold of the night
Y'all niggas wanna take my life
Oh, I been tryna do right
But they still wanna take my life
Oh

Sometimes I tend to lose my faith
I'm askin' God to hear my case
If you could see it through my eyes
They all wanna see me meet my demise
I feel I'm gonna lose my mind
Beggin' God to send me a sign
Tryna do the best that I can
Be a man and follow God's plan
I been tryna do right, niggas wanna take my life
I been tryna do right, and niggas wanna take my life

I can hear it in the cold of the night
Y'all niggas wanna take my life
Oh, I been tryna do right
But they still wanna take my life
Oh, I can hear it in the cold of the night
Y'all niggas wanna take my life
Oh, I been tryna do right
But they still wanna take my life
Oh
