Afterlife Pt.2 (The Letter)

(álbum: 2 Cups - 2014)

2 Cups
Aye, I'm finna just spazz, alright?
And shout out to Spazz, right?

I remember being a younging, fresh in the game
Pops wasn't home so I was trying to get blessed in the game
Hustling rocks on the block, summertime in the rain
Thirsty for a body, trying my best just to get a name
I was in that shit to win it
Empty that clip till it's finished
Schooled by them older dudes that was there from the beginning
I was a shorty they told the whole story but the ending
See my life was like a movie but this movie can't be rented
I've been sinning but we all sin, the Bible say we all kin
You know it don't work like that my nigga, we can't all win
Mama taught me keep my circle small, that way it's more for me
Stopped supporting me when she start having to go to court for me
Lil' nigga by that corner store, fuck you on that corner for?
Trying to get a dollar, niggas left bro on that corner floor
They forgot about my homie like he wasn't born before
Trying to see that light, you niggas ain't been through that storm before
Cause that sunshine ain't always bright
And them niggas that be talking, they ain't always right
Man, my niggas changed on me, we was always tight
Before them bodies got to dropping, we would always fight
But shit changed it'll never be the same no more
Why the fuck these handcuffs don't feel strange no more?
Lord please, I don't want to feel this pain no more
Them cloudy days hoping that it ain't gone rain no more cause when it rains it pours
It's real in this field, nigga
Most of them niggas in your circle ain't the real, nigga
When them guns pop them headshots don't heal, nigga
Mama said if you don't get killed then the state'll deal with ya
And that's real fucked up cause she was right
So when I was in that cell I thought about that every night
Got a kite sent from my homie, said "Stop playing with them pipes!"
Told me, "Fuck them other niggas, boy, this music shit your life!"
Took too much to earn my stripes, but I earnt the motherfuckers
Took a while to learn my papers, but I learnt them motherfuckers
Keep them out your business if it don't concern that motherfucker
You can't cross this bridge again once you burn that motherfucker
I've been through a lot of stress that's why I know some shit
Especially to trust a bitch as far if you condone the bitch
You don't show that hoe where your stash at if you don't know that bitch
My plug roll that shit so when I cop it he gone blow that shit
I be on my grind all the time cause time money, man
I know being broke is a joke, that shit ain't funny, man
They say if you out there in them streets then your a dummy, man
But got to eat one way or the other, shit you don't understand
Niggas don't get it, it took a lot just to get me
Swear to God when I make it I'm taking my niggas with me
Rest in peace to Felisha, Henno, Lil Edy and Timmy
Freaky, Pooh Bear and Eazy
Damn it, I lost way too many
Boosie say if you my nigga you my nigga then
Don't split up like dividends be there for 'em thick and thin
But in the end, niggas ain't loyal boy they'll snake you
Same niggas be yo homies and when you make it, they hate you
Streets gone be there forever and when you gone they replace you
Lil' bro don't go down this road cause you ain't gone like where it take you
Don't follow me, lil' nigga acknowledge and pay yo homage
Shout out to all my niggas like Spazz, Midnight and Bonnet
I told Mensa that I was gone make it, I made a promise
They don't give it to me, shit I'm a take it and that's a promise
50 a hunnid bonds, hunnid and 52 hunnid more
You say you keep it on you, nigga what you running for?
Boy, you ain't really got a bag, what you stuntin for?
Hunnid rounds in this K, it sounds like my niggas drumming, though
This for my brother, though, this really ain't no letter, bro
See this shit I'm doing? I just want you to do better, bro
Man, my niggas changed on me like the weather, bro
Hunnid mill' what I'm a settle for, fo' real
