Close to the Grave

You know death right around the corner and prison my next-door neighbor

Feel like I'm dyin' to live

I know we live to die, but I feel like I'm dyin' to live

I be clutchin' on my fire, you never know these days

Gamblin' with your life, you gettin' close to the grave

Sorry Lord, the Devil got a hold of me, baby

Knew I shouldn't have never let you close to me, baby

I be clutchin' on my fire, you never know these days

Gamblin' with your life, you gettin' close to the grave

Sorry Lord, the Devil got a hold of me, baby

Knew I shouldn't have never let you close to me, baby

I knew I shouldn't have never showed you that I love you, my nigga

I fucked up when I showed you that I trust you, my nigga

I tried to turn my life around, but now I'm back in the field

You know it's free my nigga Cool, I hope he win the appeal

I lost my nigga, it ain't been the same

Everybody say that I changed, say I ain't been the same

They don't even know I'm feelin' pain

They don't know how I feel inside, traumatized, criminalized

But yet I'm idolized, I swear to God sometimes I wonder why

It got me brainwashed, lil' ones off the same block

Remember I had to slang rock, remember I let them thangs pop

Damn, I just wanna raise my son, wish it could've been how it was

Sometimes I wanna grab my gun

Sometimes I don't be wanna hear none

I be clutchin' on my fire, you never know these days

Gamblin' with your life, you gettin' close to the grave

Sorry Lord, the Devil got a hold of me, baby

Knew I shouldn't have never let you close to me, baby

I be clutchin' on my fire, you never know these days

Gamblin' with your life, you gettin' close to the grave

Sorry Lord, the Devil got a hold of me, baby

Knew I shouldn't have never let you close to me, baby

My boy got shot, you put the blame on me

You say you know I did it

I can't even act like it ain't faze me

That shit hurt my feelings

My cousin got hit up, say he saw me jump out with the Glizzy

Why you had told them people you made me? Boy, you know you didn't

I hit that lick in Maryland, I bought my mama a Honda Civic

The hardest thing I had to do in life was leave you

I was showin' you love and had you feelin' like I need you

I'm drinkin' this alcohol right now, I wanna see you

You made me go hard in this shit, I'm motivated

Why you had gave up on the kid when I was jaded?

Now I've been drinkin', gettin' faded

Thinkin' 'bout how you played me

Thinkin' 'bout how you did me

I be clutchin' on my fire, you never know these days

Gamblin' with your life, you gettin' close to the grave

Sorry Lord, the Devil got a hold of me, baby

Knew I shouldn't have never let you close to me, baby

I be clutchin' on my fire, you never know these days

Gamblin' with your life, you gettin' close to the grave

Sorry Lord, the Devil got a hold of me, baby

Knew I shouldn't have never let you close to me, baby
