Premonition

I got a friend who little brother infatuated with guns
I tell him "watch yourself, for that you know what comes"
Two shots to the lungs 'cause some young nigga thought you had it coming
And I know you not the type for running
AK sound off like the band drumming
Quick to check a nigga if he sayin' something
Under his breath, two shells is left
Everyday niggas dance with death
I got a tone that make you one-two step
You see, life's too short to be so reckless
Which one? Your life or that gold necklace
Could niggas soul check it?
And all my life I been so patient
They say "life is what you make" so it's all for the takin'
Seen a family get evicted, had me reminiscing
Yet I'm bitching about life, I should be happy I'm alive
But shit, we tired of flipping fries
Niggas trapping on the side
Don't need no blue check, bye, to be verified
I'm so solidified, they don't question my qualifications
Young legend in the making, I'm tryna be patient
But no time to be waiting, I'm just feeding my baby
Unemployed, no diploma, what nigga, this crazy

Gotta be another way, aye
Gotta be another way, aye
Gotta be another way, aye
Gotta be another way

All around, she gon' hold me down
Y'know, 'cause I can make her hurl many sounds like coyote howls
When I'm in the center, outer limits, nonexistent
Is you riding, is you with it?
Ain't to hard to figure out, ain't to hard to live for now
Is you artificial or your art official?
Only clean my messes with official tissue, I'm a picky nigga
Picking up on signals, crystal clear, I get the picture
Pissing off whoever watching, watch the minutes and the seconds keep on ticking
Got a cousin in Kuwait
He can't wait to see his daughter
When he left she wasn't talking, heard he sing the other day
Got a cousin in Kuwait
He can't wait to see his daughter
When he left she wasn't talking, heard he sing the other day

Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way

Craters on my thumbs from the lighters I spun
I just stopped by today to work on my lil' cash flow
Spit all your spills in they lanes, I'm more revealings than saints
And fucking willingness is the phrase that pays, my nigga
The free money, kitty, you get it all day, my daily
They heard of my city, can't tell me 'bout labor wailings
The freakiest babies with labias, only debating
Microwave pregnancies, we've no sense of time waiting
Attention span to whatever get my dick rocked
Not to mention my nigga just got slammed after fifth block
So we gon' have to handle all of that when all of the tick stops and the bell rings
No hiding at the neighborhood pit stop, shit
I'm on my own, so if I make it home, know I ain't have to use my chrome
I ain't have one to own, let alone two to rub together, just to fuel the growth
So when Judas ran up on me, gave him two boost to the throat, 'cause there's, 'cause there's

Has to be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
