Lyrics
And this is for all my people that left to soon and couldn't even see 21
Reflects on the loss of friends who passed away before reaching 21 years old.
And I don't wanna die but if I do I know that
Expresses a reluctance to die, but acknowledges the possibility.
And I don't wanna die but if I go my mama don't cry
Desires not to cause pain to their mother if they were to pass away.
And I don't wanna die but I do I know I know
Reiterates the unwillingness to die but acknowledges the reality of it.
I know I know
Emphasizes a deep understanding of this sentiment.
And I don't wanna die but if I go mama please don't cry
Pleads with their mother not to cry if they were to pass away.
And I don't wanna die but if I do I know I strived
Asserts that if they were to pass away, they've worked hard and strived in life.
And I don't wanna die but if I do y'all know I'm ready (yeah)
Expresses readiness for death if it were to come.
I made sure my fam and my people were steady (yeh)
Ensured the stability and well-being of their family and friends.
All of my brothers they dropped too soon
Mourns the early loss of close friends.
It almost seems like we were born to be doomed
Feels as though their circumstances are predetermined for tragedy.
All of this hate no love what's new
Observes a lack of love and abundance of hate in their environment.
I told shorty I loved her she knew
Expresses love to someone significant in their life.
May never see 30 if I'm counting blue
Concerned about not reaching 30 due to difficult circumstances.
All of these benjis conceiving my doom
Feels that financial success contributes to their downfall.
I don't want the fame I just want the voice
Desires influence and impact without seeking fame.
To make sure my people grow up with a choice
Wants their community to have opportunities and choices.
And I feel like where I'm from
Feels a sense of animosity from their hometown.
Ma fuckers don't wanna see you at the top
Perceives envy and negativity when achieving success.
But when they see what you've become
Others change attitudes upon witnessing personal success.
They be too quick to take off your top
Expresses fear of time running out to make a positive impact.
I'm scared I don't have enough time
Wants to create change through their music but feels time-limited.
To make change through all of my rhymes
Determined to persistently work toward their goals.
But I'm never gonna stop this grind
Committed to achieving personal success.
Until I accomplish and take what's mine (yeah)
Willingness to strive until their goals are accomplished.
And I pray to lord my soul to keep
Prays for the safety of their soul.
And I pray to lord my people eat
Hopes for the well-being and prosperity of their community.
Yeah I pray to lord my soul to keep
Repeats the prayer for the safety of their soul.
I'm at peace baby I'm at peace
Feels at peace with their circumstances.
Everybody hittin licks everybody totin sticks
Observes the prevalence of criminal activities and desire for wealth.
They all wanna be rich even if they gotta snitch
Describes a mindset where people pursue riches even if it means betrayal.
It's gotten to the point where I can't even take a flick
Feels unable to enjoy normal activities due to their circumstances.
They showing fake love straight to me and I know they be quick to switch shorty
Recognizes insincere gestures of affection and anticipates betrayal.
And I don't wanna die but if I go mama please don't cry
Reiterates the plea for their mother not to cry if they pass away.
And I don't wanna die but if I do I know I strived
