Nobody Left
[Verse 1]
Denzel said it first
Never seen a moving truck followed by a hearse
Never seen heaven, only hell on this Earth
My pain is so deep, on swell finna burst
I hit the block, ready to rock on anger
Override danger
Deal with devils, saw angels
I’m on edge, whole hood is incarcerated
Cataloged by the loss so I’m staying faded
Unbearable, being in the physical
I need a miracle, ain’t even spiritual
Looting and violence, they say that I’m violent
I’m on survival mode, I’m so defiant
My health dwindling, got chronic stress
High blood pressure, accelerated death
Accelerated aging, accelerated debt
All of my people fading, ain’t nobody left
[Bridge]
I don’t wanna suffer, I wanna prosper
I want mine now, I want options
I wanna live long (but I doubt it)
I wanna live long (yeah I doubt it)
I don’t want sorrow, I wanna thrive
I want mine now, on the rhyme
I wanna live long (but I doubt it)
I wanna live long
[Verse 2]
In the hood, it’s like a melting pot
Not caring if hell is hot
You can get wet up under umbrellas from a felon shot
I don’t see the man with every dream taking lessons from a fiend
And the business ran by greed
Where employees probably bleed when they cracking out
Listen and see if you point the problem out
Being there is walking, smiling, buying whole islands now
Brothers I grew up with, hearts stopping, they dying now
I ain’t gonna sit and deny, I’m watching my diet now
I’m pissed they let police pull a pistol, pop us, then buy em out
But sip expensive name brand liquors and spending large amounts
I ain’t had no trust funds
Our parents don’t even trust us
From stealing out they purses and wallets before the bus come
Whites call us thugs
We live and thuggin’ for fun now
Learn to be so high
We feel depressed when we come down
Where we made it from where we used to be is like from the wake to the eulogy
This feeling I deal with is nothing new to me
[Bridge]
I don’t wanna suffer, I wanna prosper
I want mine now, I want options
I wanna live long (but I doubt it)
I wanna live long (yeah I doubt it)
I don’t want sorrow, I wanna thrive
I want mine now, on the rhyme
I wanna live long (but I doubt it)
I wanna live long (yeah I doubt it)
