Outta My Life

[Verse One]: Damn, here come another sad song Listen to the words cause again it's on Gettin' at my best black one more time Cause nowadays we droppin' like flies Seems like every other week Somebody I know gettin' caught up in the streets Used to be sad when I heard somethin' Now I'm cool if I find out that I didn't know him And that's true, I thought you knew Cause nowadays we're born to die And black life ain't shit Oops, there's another one going down Shot dead to the ground Just one more drug-related Fiasco makin' life complicated Ask yourself how many of your good friends die And then ask why [Chorus]: Keep runnin' Keep runnin' in and outta my life Keep runnin' Keep runnin' in and outta my life Keep runnin' Keep runnin' in and outta my life Keep runnin' Keep runnin' in and outta my life [Verse Two]: So I say, how many dope records do it take Before the brother makes sleeping giants awake Another day, another call, and it's so wrong I can't believe I've seen him just last week, now he's all gone Ashes to ashes, dust to dust to gat bust Now another one's life is lost, did it twenty-two years old Now my heart of pain is turned into a heart of stone I feel like I wanna go get my motherfucking gat Grab a mask and handle shit, but I'm conscious So I think I'll count my losses And wish my friend goodbye I can't get with the same old, same old Black on black, shoot a nigga off scenario So I just swallow it down and try to let go And see he at the crossroads [Chorus]: Keep runnin' Keep runnin' in and outta my life Keep runnin' Keep runnin' in and outta my life Keep runnin' Keep runnin' in and outta my life Keep runnin' Keep runnin' in and outta my life [Verse Three]: Now I'm more than a mack, more than a hustler More than a d-boy pimp or sport star And everybody can't make their way Tryin' to rap or dance, I must say that the shit is played Still militant, never be ignorant More than a motherfucking jig Cause I'm heaven's sin, ain't a player You're nigga, a jungle-bunny More than a coon or spook or porch monkey And ain't shit funny It's kinda sad we believe that's all that we can be Brainwashed and ain't nobody lost but us So who's paying the cost? So I do what I can do Still stayin' true, still payin' dues And I still got love for ya Don't squat when I talk, just listen And get up on that shits you're missing [Chorus]: Keep runnin' Keep runnin' in and outta my life Keep runnin' Keep runnin' in and outta my life Keep runnin' Keep runnin' in and outta my life Keep runnin' Keep runnin' in and outta my life
