Stopwatch (feat. D. Cissl)

Before I take my last step
On this earth, I'll be present with my family
So when I sleep and they lay me underground
I'll be sure that my people understand me
(Yeah, whoa)
Before I take my last breath
On this earth, I'll have made sure to live happily
So when I sleep and they lay me underground
I'll be sure that my people know I'm happy

It's hard to live like I know why
We live for the win and then go die
I'm on mission to co-sign, my message'll hit like bullseye
I'm mad that we killing ourselves
Our planet has taken a nose-dive
Imagine we find something else
Replacing our madness with goal lines
We hurting the babies we love
Instead of united we trust
We can't seem to get it, we stuck in the system
Of playing the victim, I'm feeling indifferent
So I want to create a law, to love what I got 'til it's gone
Cuz I know I can't take for granted the people I love
Cuz the life that I live isn't long

Yeah, yeah
I don't think it would matter if I got it
If I had all of the money and the wealth
I don't think it would even make me happy
What I want is to be honest with myself

It's hard to live when I know my
Time on this earth isn't so kind
People are hurting their own kind
For reasons I don't even know I'm
Caught in the middle of war
Imagine we didn't move so blind
We wouldn't be building rapport
With others who sit on the sidelines
Disrupting the safety with guns
Is this what they want for their sons?
A world where we kill, and vent how we feel
By pulling a trigger for fun
So I want to create a law, to love what I got 'til it's gone
Cuz I know I can't take for granted the people I love
Cuz the life that I live isn't long

Everyday I wake up
Got me puttin' on a fake face for 'em guess I call it make up
I done hit it one time got me way up, I think it's laced up
Cuz homie said hit it it'll pass the day up
But now I'm sittin' here thinking 'bout how they don't feel me
Cuz the homie working for the enemy they tryna' kill me
I done trusted everybody in the world that I can think of
But they lied to me so now I'm screamin' you don't really hear me
Now I'm sittin' in a circle by myself wit a pistol in my belt
Screamin' I don't never ever need help
I'm strugglin' I guess it's just the hand that I'm dealt
Guess I'm never really meant to go and reach the top shelf
Now I beef with everybody that's lunch meat
Got no friends around me cuz I'd rather roll one deep
Cuz they tell me that I'm dumb even when I'm speakin' Christ
But I'ma still spit his name through my dumb teeth

Before I take my last steps
On this earth, I'll be present with my family
So when I sleep and they lay me underground
I'll be sure that my people understand me
(Yeah, whoa)
Before I take my last breath
On this earth, I'll have made sure to live happily
So when I sleep and they lay me underground
I'll be sure that my people know I'm happy
