Freddie Gibbs - Neverending Cycle lyrics

Yeah it's real shit nigga
Real talk my life exchange for yours
Yeah, nigga yeah, we all caught up
In this never ending cycle
Ghetto ain't no harder than mine
It's real shit

I fear no man breathing, no man walking
I keep my mouth shut let
My gun do the talkin'
I've seen a lot of close
Friends tossed in coffins
For chasing that money
Not ever knowing what it really be cost them
If you been in my position
You probably know what I'm going through
Rob, steal, kill whenever your bills overdue
Sounds bad, but situations get uncontrollable
Hoping you make it before the Ghetto
Can grab a hold of you
My memory flooded with mistakes that
I can never make up it hurts so bad
Sometimes I sleep and hope I never wake up
How can I go on living? I'm
Trading bullets with the opposition
Definitely Destined for prison
Or the grave, I need to get my life together
A new age slave
Man I can’t live like this forever
And yeah it’s a shame, because
I know can do better
Then holding loaded Birettas
Ready for whatever to get the chedda' nigga!
It’s the same from your hood to my blocks

I wake up in the morning
To the sounds of gunshots and I can’t sleep
Living with beef and police
I'm just caught up in the cycle
Stuck in the streets
I said the ghetto is the same
From your hood to my blocks
I wake up in the morning
To the sounds of gunshots and I can’t sleep
Living with beef and police
I'm just caught up in the cycle
Stuck in the streets
When will I ever wake up?

Damn, I'm back in these handcuffs
Officer pulled me over said
Get out with my hands up but livin' in Gary
On the daily we get harassed by police
Got narcotics in my pocket
And my heat under the seat
I ain't fucking with nobody just
Tryna' get on my feet
Been unemployed for weeks
So this is how I gotta eat
A lotta' people say I'm just another
Waste of a black mind
Hustling on the same grind
Killing my own kind
Put my life on the line for a couple of bucks
You considered the risk I'm taking
This don't pay me enough
Having babies with different ladies
Living life in a rush
The truth is, I don't give no fuck!
When will I ever wake up?
Or will just end up another statistic?
Just a number to the government?
Stuck in the system maine!
This shit will make you go insane
Everyday, I'm losing homies in
This muthafuckin' game
And the ghetto is the same from
Your hood to my blocks

Yeah, blame the system
They blame it on hip hop
The content of my lyrics
Got these young niggas brainwashed
But, I got out the streets to
Do this shit for a livin'
As rappers we should pay attention
To the message we sending i ain't trippin'
Go get your money because I'm tryna' get mine
But, I know niggas that will sell
They fucking souls to shine!
I swear the business ain't appealing to me!
There is niggas dying over
Petty ass industry beef
I must admit sometimes I spit
And think my label
Don't really know what to do with me
And I be broke before I let them
Crackers make a fool of me
Before I be a puppet
They be reading my eulogy
My music a reflection of my community
So nigga wake up!
Lead us away from the devil
Lord show us a sign put up your metal
Your ghetto ain't no harder than mine
And it's a muthafuckin' shame
Everyday I'm losing homies in
This muthafuckin' game!
And the ghetto is the same from
Your hood to my blocks

Uh, When will I ever wake up?
Yeah, When will I ever wake up? Yeah
When will I ever wake up?
I said the ghetto is the same
From your hood to my blocks
I wake up in the morning
To the sounds of gunshots
When will I wake up?
When will I ever wake up?
When will I ever wake up?
