[Verse 3: CROOKED] You in apartment and saw your father on the carpet With a belt wrapped his arm and a scarf under his armpit And a needle in his bicep Earlier this you warned him His addict habits are something you couldn't You cry saying "I just...Don't see you die" Now you dissect the fact that he hasn't opened his eyes yet You collapsed on his body and you thinking I could perform CPR, jump start his heart if it's But his started to weaken His cardio region depleting as you given him part of breathing He dead and gone and you had a bad when you was heading home Now etched in stone, you've been left alone So you his gun, chrome handle all pearl, aw nah girl Put it to your head, thinking, fuck like a call girl in a small world Then pulled back but it clap...damn
Kobe Honeycutt] When the night falls can happen We just we make it out alive We all wanna it to the top one day is a street only going one way But we all wanna it Just try best to survive
