The Ditch

We went down, we went down in the ditch
Tryna make it out my head
I just want to take the lead
You let me down, let me down up in the ditch

We went down, we went down, I was in the ditch
Heaven save us fore we all gon' end up in the pit
I'm always so blind, my heart it could just never see
It wasn't that deep, but deeper Imma sink

I'm done re-uppin' now, I can't work no 9 to 5
Runners on a high tryna get up on the line
In the front of the lines, we tryna start a riot
For the times that we done mourned all the dyin'

Like a lion, they done taught me how to fend
I got my homies all around me with they lens
They done shot me in the pictures
They flicked me up, but I wish they ain't leave any disfigured

I was so mad, I heard bout George Floyd
Why all the bloodshed, I just felt so poised
I was just on to get it, I was just down to die
He might be down to ride, But I could never lie

I couldn't ever lie, I wish I didn't try
The lies we did, we did the lies were leadin' me to flake
I'm on my time and I'm tired without a break
We cuttin' ties and the noose done upon my neck

Cut it open slicin', I'm a titan
I got a new plan that Imma hold, but don't remind me
Cuz I couldn't do it anymore
And I knew I had to put down my woes
Put down the perc, put down some more
Slow-mo then make a toast

We went down, We went down, I was in the ditch
Heaven save us fore we all gon' end up in the pit
I'm always so blind, my heart it could just never see
It wasn't that deep, but deeper Imma sink

Done re-uppin' now, I can't work no 9 to 5
Runners on a high tryna get up on the line
In the front of the lines, we tryna start a riot
For the times that we done mourned all the dyin'

Steady trippin' out up on the road
I put homies on my back that gon' help me grow
I got the truest in my heart, nobody else I need
Hold on to those with my life, never seen a theft

It's time to leave, but can you handle heat?
Watch out fore you lose, it might end up in yo dreams
The trash and the death, the voices in my head
They left me all alone all alone all alone

All I need is in my hands, even when the feelings dead
Grasp your soul and push on forward fore it's leavin' you misled
Watchin' bodies all around me, they won't leave me under
They might leave you under, but they won't leave me under

Need one time for the one time we was down up in the ditch
Say it one time for the homies that are done up for they kids
And a one time for the black people that done died bless all they souls
And I told them that at one time, you won't needa hear it no more
