Byron Henderson - D.W.T.W. lyrics
[Byron Henderson - D.W.T.W. lyrics]
Whatever… rina, turn me up a little
Let it ride out
I kind of feel like everything
Is running it's course
But this might be the last chance I get
So, I’m not quite finished yet
Promise me that we won’t be
Miserable if we make it
Couple of people turned their
Backs and that’s life, Where’s the respect?
Never failed at giving my all
Still they’re stripping me naked
Honesty will turn a friend to a foe
Foot on they’re neck
Nah, who’s supposed to come to your
Aid whenever you need something?
Foolish pride made you a slave, homie
You’re greed drunken
Only word engraved on my tombstone is destiny
Honestly, I often miss you next to me
But that’s just me
Don’t have time for walking
Around feeling sorry
I feel like dying but won’t
Be joining your pity party
I remained me far longer than you
How am I weak or a coward
When I’m stronger than you?
Remaining Byron is my claim to fame
I know the fake’s for hire
They took the chains we brought them back
The situation’s dire
And I’m just trying to find
My place within the madness
I’ll keep going for my babies till
The day that I get tired
For the love of the money? For the lust?
For the cars?
Listen, you ain’t gotta stunt, dawg
You ain’t gotta stunt, dawg
Nah, you ain’t gotta stunt, dawg
Not afraid of you just because
You have a gun, Dawg
You can shoot first, and you’ll feel like
A man up until your time comes, Dawg
Tell them I won’t last forever
Nothing but stab wounds in my back
That’s why I lack trust
Don’t worry though, I no longer bleed
I close back up scary hours
Take lead showers around this time
Ain’t no putting out this fire
I’m in a permanent prime
How’s it feel knowing that my
Demons are killing me slow?
And there’s nothing you can do to save me
Feelings elope?
Feeling helpless, feel like I’m selfish
What does it matter?
Keep your cold mugs out of my face
Or get them shattered freaking leeches
I can spot you from a mile away
Mindful of intuition
Trying to seek friends was my mistake
A couple people sneak dissing, they’re
Remixing my old flows, Too much
But keeping focus on them will give
Us less time to do us
You’re trying to be somebody
But ever think of your health?
How am I to care about you
If you don’t care for yourself?
Where the love at?
Utter my last rebuttal, I struggle to cope
But I’ll never give up on my cousin
Cause her love is my hope
‘Merica the beautiful
Everyone is thinking like a dead man
Live it up, but what about the future though?
Look at my generation and I
Wonder where the love’s at?
I look at my people and I
Wonder where the love’s at?
I look at my country and I
Wonder where the love’s at?
One for all till we all
Die and the guns blast
Rina’s in front of me wondering
When the pain stops until then
I guess it’s nothing but rain drops
For the love of the money? For the lust?
For the cars?
Listen, you ain’t gotta stunt, dawg
You ain’t gotta stunt, dawg
Nah, you ain’t gotta stunt, dawg
Love yours love yours
Tell them I won’t last forever
Don’t be afraid don’t be afraid
Byron: Sometimes when I’m lying
In bed, I wonder
At what point am I supposed to
Be done with this world? The
Problems are right in front of us
But tensions are so
High that we really can’t do
Anything that upsets me
Because I don’t who’d I be if something
Happened to either one of you girls
Marina: Shhh
It’s difficult not to think
About things like this
I know some of you probably think
I grew up differently than you but odds are
We came up in the same environment
I just somehow managed to get avoid it all
Now, things are getting worse, and as a kid
I didn’t even think that was possible
But I thought, if there are two things
That I’ve always done extremely well
It’s read and write two years later
I’m getting fan mail about how
I helped someone through a difficult time
And it’s insane that’s a lot to take in
For a minute
I thought it was never ending when
Something this freaking good calls
Yeah, it took balls for you to
Try building my self esteem
I barely could walk around school
Every warm embrace I would push off
But it reminded me of just how
Much something this good cost
My best intentions uncaring if
I would look soft
Whether I’m from a hood or I’m
Daring enough to just talk
I had to think about all
The drama it would cause deep inside
I admired the fact you stood tall
But I also noticed how quiet you always
Would fall whenever something was wrong
Maybe I’m over thinking these urges I get
It's murder after murder
What’s to stop them from hurting my friends?
You get a certain feeling when I say the
Real is all it took to kill you
Let’s be honest, Because they would rather
Cheer the unfamiliar rina, Aaliyah, Nayzia
Jeileen are my heartbeat
So, I’m coming right for
Where your thoughts be
I’ll tell you straight up
When the sun goes down
Tell me what you live for
Because I don’t see change round here
To be honest
I just see a lot a chains round here
Gold nooses, love ain’t a thing round here
Whoa
I don’t have a lot of time left
Being afraid to love is childish
You know we’re all blessed
You’ll be leaking here nothing, so love yours
Cause if it’s your last hour
Then you know we’re bout to stress so hard
I’d ride for you i’d die for you
Take a hollow to the eye, Carl Grimes for you
Feelings I bottle inside like nothing explode
Those feelings corrode my mind
But still I try for you
Sometimes I feel I don’t make
Enough time for you
Been optimistic, but I’m tired, true
From me to you, I say don’t worry bout it
MOE is the reason why every morgue is crowded
More money, more lust and violence
Important to trust in guidance
There’s a war going on outsid
People would rather swallow kids than pride
I hate you have to be a part of it
Cause you’re the closest I’ll
Get to a daughter
Just to let you know Aaliyah, innocence
The world will slaughter it
Black thoughts rooted in my mind
Thinking what would Jesus do?
Because what you see is what
The greed will do
My friends, I hope it never comes for us
From me to you
Pump your breaks before I do you like
I have the key to you
For the love of the money? For the lust?
For the cars?
Listen, you ain’t gotta stunt, dawg
You ain’t gotta stunt, dawg
Nah, you ain’t gotta stunt, dawg
Don’t ever let me hear you call me a GOAT
I’m re-reminding
We don’t care about that ish around here
I’m being honest
Every word is like a speeding
Bullet taken to the streets push a button
Let chaos erupt and history repeats
Watch me open up Pandora’s Box again
I’m looking at life, Like what do we do when
They finally box us in?
Left and right, there’s people losing oxygen
Been ducking trouble since my childhood
They ain’t think I could win
A couple of million won’t
Ever conceal the pain
My only wish is a hug from my
Friends make sure this isn’t in vain
They’ll put a price tag on your soul
We’re all dying
Lord forgive me if I’m ready to go
I’ll be done trying one day
I hope you see me as Byron and nothing more
Every day I hear the sound of siren
And that’ll cause me to become numb and
No longer care about rain drops
Because I know that when I’m done
Is when the rain stops
Let it ride out
I kind of feel like everything
Is running it's course
But this might be the last chance I get
So, I’m not quite finished yet
Promise me that we won’t be
Miserable if we make it
