Not Today

Some play ball while others let the chopper spray
Head on a swivel you get hit from a block away
And I don't wanna die no not today
Press record cuz I got a whole lot to say

Some play ball while others let the chopper spray
Head on a swivel you get hit from a block away
And I don't wanna die no not today
Press record cuz I got a whole lot to say

Knock knock
Knock knock knock em down
That 808 hitting like a chopper sound
They ask me why the struggles what I talk about
Memories so vivid hard to block it out
Lord spare my soul
Please spare my soul
They said college was the path never cared to go
They said a lotta things that ain't mean much
They even tried to drive a wedge right between us
Never went to prom never wore a tux
You don't appreciate cuz you wasn't as poor as us
So for every goal reached there's still more to touch
Always believed in me and I don't believe in much
Lost a lot along the way where you been at
Acting like me and you was coo where you been at
Awe struck when they see me know how you did that
Years without sleep relationships I had to give back

Some play ball while others let the chopper spray
Head on a swivel you get hit from a block away
And I don't wanna die no not today
Press record cuz I got a whole lot to say

Some play ball while others let the chopper spray
Head on a swivel you get hit from a block away
And I don't wanna die no not today
Press record cuz I got a whole lot to say

Know whatever I start I'm gone see it through
Sometimes it takes years just to see the truth
I been on the go
I been home less
Came so far but so far to go yet
Lord spare my soul
Please spare my soul
Weight of the world on me only lord knows
Used to put me down told me not to try hard
Most successful from my class by far
Now the little kids chase after my car
Almost makes up for everything that I've lost
Lost a lot along the way where you been at
Acting like me and you is cool where you been at
Ever look somebody in the eye when they died
Bet you talk about it but you never took a life
Poverty ain't something that we should glorify
Know my momma used to worry every single day and night

Some play ball while others let the chopper spray
Head on a swivel you get hit from a block away
And I don't wanna die no not today
Press record cuz I got a whole lot to say

Some play ball while others let the chopper spray
Head on a swivel you get hit from a block away
And I don't wanna die no not today
Press record cuz I got a whole lot to say
