[Intro]
~#**************#~
Child: Why you by the window? Whats wrong daddy?
~#**************#~
Mother: I know whats wrong with that crazy motherfucker
~#**************#~
He just stand by the goddamn window
~#**************#~
With that fuckin AK all day (There you go)
~#**************#~
You dont work, you dont fuck, you dont eat
~#**************#~
You dont even do a goddamn thing
~#**************#~
[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
I see death around the corner, gotta stay high while I survive
~#**************#~
In the city where the skinny niggas die
~#**************#~
If they bury me, bury me as a G, nigga, no need to worry
~#**************#~
I expect retaliation in a hurry
~#**************#~
I see death around the corner, any day
~#**************#~
Tryin to keep it together, no one lives forever anyway
~#**************#~
Strugglin and strivin, my destinys to die
~#**************#~
Keep my finger on the trigger, no mercy in my eyes
~#**************#~
In a ball of confusion, Im thinkin bout my daddy
~#**************#~
Madder than a motherfucker, they never shoulda had me
~#**************#~
I guess I seen too many murders, the doctors cant help me
~#**************#~
Got me stressin with my pistol in my sheets, it aint healthy
~#**************#~
Am I paranoid? Tell me the truth
~#**************#~
Im out the window with my AK, ready to shoot
~#**************#~
Ran out of indo, and my mind cant take the stress, Im out of breath
~#**************#~
Make me wanna kill my damn self, but I see death around the corner
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
(“When we were kids, belonging felt good…”)
~#**************#~
I see death around the corner
~#**************#~
(“But having respect, that feels even better…”)
~#**************#~
I see death around the corner
~#**************#~
(“When we were kids, belonging felt good…”)
~#**************#~
I see death around the corner
~#**************#~
(“But having respect, that feels even better…”)
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
I see death around the corner, the pressures gettin to me
~#**************#~
I no longer trust my homies — them phonies tried to do me
~#**************#~
Smokin too much weed, got me paranoid, stressed
~#**************#~
Pack a gat and a vest under my clothes when I dress
~#**************#~
Heres hopin I die the way I lived, straight thuggin
~#**************#~
Huggin my trigger for all them niggas that was buggin
~#**************#~
My homie told me once, “Dont you trust them other suckers
~#**************#~
They front like they your homies, but they phony motherfuckers”
~#**************#~
And even if I did die young, whod care?
~#**************#~
All I ever got was mean mugs and cold stares
~#**************#~
Got homies in my head that done passed away screamin “Please!”
~#**************#~
Young nigga, make Gs
~#**************#~
I cant give up, although Im hopeless, I think my minds gone
~#**************#~
All I can do is get my grind on
~#**************#~
Death around the corner
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
(“When we were kids, belonging felt good…”)
~#**************#~
I see death around the corner
~#**************#~
(“But having respect, that feels even better…”)
~#**************#~
Death around the corner
~#**************#~
(“When we were kids, belonging felt good…”)
~#**************#~
I see death around the corner
~#**************#~
(“But having respect, that feels even better…”)
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
(I was raised) I was raised in the city, shitty
~#**************#~
Ever since I was an itty bitty kiddy
~#**************#~
Drinkin liquor out my mommas titty
~#**************#~
And smokin weed was an everyday thang in my household
~#**************#~
And drinkin liquor til you out cold
~#**************#~
And though Im grown now, nigga, its still on — pow!
~#**************#~
Bustin on them niggas til they gone
~#**************#~
How many more jealous ass bitches comin for my riches?
~#**************#~
Now I gotta be suspicious when I bone
~#**************#~
‘Cause if I aint sharp and heartless, them bitchesll start shit
~#**************#~
Excuse me, but this is where we part, bitch
~#**************#~
No more game for free, please explain to me
~#**************#~
Why niggas trip, bitch, who you came to see?
~#**************#~
Murder me now but see me later man, thats on my pops
~#**************#~
I got homies that will hunt you til you drop
~#**************#~
I hope the Lord can forgive me
~#**************#~
I was a G, and gettin high was a way of bein free
~#**************#~
I see death around the corner
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
(“When we were kids, belonging felt good…”)
~#**************#~
I see death around the corner
~#**************#~
(“But having respect, that feels even better…”)
~#**************#~
I see death around the corner
~#**************#~
(“When we were kids, belonging felt good…”)
~#**************#~
I see death around the corner
~#**************#~
(“But having respect, that feels even better…”)
~#**************#~
I see death around the corner
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
This is for all the real motherfuckin niggas out there
~#**************#~
I know you aint scared to die; we all gotta go, yknow?
~#**************#~
A real motherfucker will pick the time he goes
~#**************#~
And make sure he handles his motherfuckin business
~#**************#~
(You think youre gonna live long enough to spend that money, you fuckin hump?)
~#**************#~
Yall niggas stop actin like pussies out there, all right?
~#**************#~
If any of you…
~#**************#~
Are tired of gettin ripped off by guys like that…
~#**************#~
I want his family dead! I want his house burnt to the ground!
~#**************#~
I wanna go there in the middle of the night, I wanna piss on his ashes!
~#**************#~
I want his family dead! I want his house burnt to the ground!
~#**************#~
I wanna go there in the middle of the night, I wanna piss on his ashes!
~#**************#~
I want that son of a bitch dead, I want him dead!
~#**************#~
I want him dead, I dont care…
