Lyrics
Back then in the days
Reflecting on the past
Parents will tell us about OG's
Parents sharing wisdom about experienced individuals
How streets have taken their homies
Streets claiming lives of their friends
Streets give 20's but already taken 80s
Streets offering short-term gains but taking a heavy toll in the long run
Gang life is risky
Highlighting the risks of gang life
Aren't we tired of burying homies
Expressing fatigue from burying friends
I told my homies to stop the killings
Advising friends to cease violence
They say i'm too preaching
Facing criticism for advocating change
It so sad to see youngee's leaving
Sadness over the loss of young lives
And it's all for nothing
Questioning the purpose of the violence
The og's keep gaslighting
Experienced individuals manipulating with wealth
With money
Using money to influence and control
They keep tricking
Continuous deception by influential figures
Parents keep on losing
Parents suffering due to the loss of their children
Society is cold it's freezing
Describing the harsh and unforgiving nature of society
Homies stuck in the prison of their mind
Friends trapped in mental anguish
Mommy at home
Mother waiting for the return of her child
Waiting on you to come home
Emphasizing the longing for a loved one
You on the street lying all alone
Friend lying abandoned on the streets
Dead in the cold
Tragic death in a cold environment
Your homie running to their own homes
Other friends returning to their homes
Boy, you lying in the cold
Highlighting the loneliness of the deceased
Your kids, at home
Children awaiting the return of their father
Waiting for daddy to come home
Expressing the absence of a parent
You on the street, lying all alone
Friend lying alone on the street
But dead in the cold
Confirming the tragic fate of the individual
Your body full of gun holes
Graphic description of fatal injuries
Some taking your photos
Others capturing the moment with photographs
Boy, you lying in the cold
Reiterating the loneliness of the deceased
The street is full of lessons
Streets as a source of harsh life lessons
Nigga's act like dummies
Criticizing foolish behavior
One minute you're winning
Success can be short-lived
dancing and rejoicing
Temporary joy followed by hidden animosity
But your homies lowkey hating
Friends secretly harboring hatred
Plotting maybe recruiting
Suspecting betrayal and recruitment into negativity
Waiting to catch you lacking
A constant threat of being caught off guard
All night long
Continuous danger throughout the night
Where's the love?
Questioning the absence of love
Why can't we love?
Expressing a desire for more love in society
Learn from Shakur
Referencing Tupac Shakur as a source of wisdom
Xxxtentacion, Skally's mental
Mentioning XXXTentacion and mental struggles
Where's the Woo, where's Takeoff, Mo3, Mr.Biggie, and Nipsey Hussle
Asking about the whereabouts of influential figures
Mommy at home
Repetition of a mother waiting for a return
Waiting on you to come home
Reiterating the theme of anticipation at home
You on the street lying all alone
Restating the tragic scene of a friend lying alone
Dead in the cold
Emphasizing the cold and harsh circumstances of death
Your homie running to their own homes
Friends returning to their homes after the tragedy
Boy, you lying in the cold
Repeating the image of a friend lying in the cold
