Through the Fire

Yo, can we smoke in here?
Damez
Yeah, yeah

Broken heart, broken promises, broken bones
And if I'm broken? Them niggas, they just some broken clones
Totaled cars and some herniated discs
But I'm still going hard taking terminating risks
And I'm feeling hella drained, my fuse is kinda low
My presence is delayed, my responses kinda slow
I lost my job and some friends that I was down for
Now they wondering why Damién don't come around more
Court dates and scary surgical procedures on my neck
But I still give more service than the preachers
Said I'm never going back to jail but God had some different plans
Sometimes I wish I had a different deck up in my hands
But how can I complain? Rishard just buried his Mom
The one that gave him life, raised him right, prepared him for prom
Can't let the devil win though I guess he can't resist me
They ain't love me but I promise
They gone fucking miss me when I'm gone

(Nah for real)
Ooh ohh
Ohhhh (Yeah)

But me and giving up don't go together like two straight niggas
Neighbors they think we don't belong, I guess they hate niggas
God built me too strong to break but some days I break down
Probation trying to hold me back, racist cop had my face down
Like I was some murdering cocaine dealer
Man how the fuck I get rear-ended by a 18-wheeler?
Fuck living wise, MRIs and DUIs, hear my cries in my songs
There ain't no fucking tears left in my eyes
The doc said it's a big chance that I won't ever walk again
You was my pulse and we'll probably never talk again
Damn, crying for help on the low
Might be scared inside but I'll never let it show
No more leaning on cold shoulders Damién, you grown now
Evan just touched down my brother fuckin' home now
Damn, I think the chain gang changed him
Pray for my niggas and all the traumas that pained them

Wherever you go (Wherever you go)
You better take care of your soul (Take care of your soul, for real)
What do you know? (What do you know?)
The more you go through you grow (The more you go through you grow)

(Pops!) Man life is funny man, life is
Some people just not meant to be in your life
You know, and you gotta accept that for what it is
Not for what you want it to be, for what it is
Anybody that wanna be in your life, they gone be in your life
They gone make sure they in your life

Wherever you go (Wherever you go)
You better take care of your soul
(Take care of your soul, gotta take care of your soul)
What do you know? (The more you know)
The more you go through you grow (The more you go through you grow)
Wherever you go
You better take care of your soul
(The future's on my mind, I'm running outta time)
What do you know?
(You ain't gotta be running behind them)
(You ain't gotta do none of that)
The more you go through you grow
(It's a hard life, but it's mine)

But if they ain't looking for you, don't look for them
