Cope

Yeah, this how I cope dawg
Life can be a very scary thing I know

So I got this text from this girl I used to see
Say every time I post it's like I'm posting R.I.P.
So, I apologize if this song gets you down
But my head been in circles cause my friends ain't around
And I can't still be down, it's been way too much years
I had tears hit the ground, I done ran out of tears
Thinking love would be found, but it is what it is
Thinking you would change too, but you is who you is
There's no way you can cope when hope has been broken
And peace is disrupted, volcanoes erupting
And buildings are breaking and bliss is escaping
And countries are bleeding for whatever reason
When in a real crisis, we forget how real Christ is
My dawg became lifeless, you see how real life is?
See life in it's entirety, see what I can see
Feel like this world blinded me and hurt who I could be
They always tell you take your time till they take your time for real
Yeah, take your time
Life break your heart, death break your mind
Tryna find a way to block my pain I was wasting time
Couldn't make the pain go, I made it rhyme

Bey life can be a scary thing, cause I don't know
Don't know what tomorrow brings but I hope
I pray to God they don't take more of my bros
I keep losing my dawgs, I ain't gone wan be here no more
Mama I write these songs, because this shit gone help me cope
I mean we been through pain, but I guess that's how it go
I write these songs, it help me cope, yeah
I write these songs, it help me cope, yeah

Sometimes I feel like we ain't gone end up no where
Ain't no music industry where I'm from how I'm a blow here?
Shit, in my city, yeah I feel like I'm the goat here
Til they bring Lil Baby or the Migos then I'm a joke here
If I don't I never make it I appreciate everyone that showed us love
Who turned us up and treated our music like it was a drug
Still can't believe, can't put my nigga in the latest stuff
Stay out the streets, why y'all love it when they keep taking us?
Hey, Mama said don't ride with gangstas but it made us tough
See who I ride with, why the fuck you wanna play with us?
Lost two brothers less than two months, man I can't make this up
They called my brother out his home and then they sprayed him up
Ain't even safe where you live, it's getting dangerous
Swiper use to nap here all the time now I can't wake him up
This life can be a very scary thing I know
They keep on giving my loved one's wings, I'll go

Bey life can be a scary thing, cause I don't know
Don't know what tomorrow brings but I hope
I pray to God they don't take more of my bros
I keep losing my dawgs, I ain't gone wan be here no more
Mama, I write these songs because this shit gone help me cope
I mean we been through pain, but I guess that's how it go
I write these songs, it help me cope, yeah
I write these songs, it help me cope, yeah
Long live my brothers
