lyrics

Chorus - C.J. Edwards
I tried to warn you
Keep this up
You’ll end up dead
Dead to us
I know your tough
But if you don’t give it up
You’ll end up dead
Dead to us

Verse 1 - Bavu Blakes
Caffeine
Nicotine
TV screen
Everything in between
Diabetes
Heart disease
Alcohol
Shopping mall
Attitude
Bad mood
Tattoos
Fast food
Music loud
On loud
Wrong crowd
Shots rang out
Ambulance
Fat chance
Last dance
 Lap dance
Like drapes
Hang and blow
Got probation
Made parole
Forget how to know
What’s a goal
Get the part
Play the role
Full participation
Unsafe
Where’s the safe
Another case
Safe to say it ain’t pretty
Hardly ever left the hood or left the city
Freedom at last unlikely baby
Here’s my address, write me maybe
Still having, how long’s the rope
Left feeling far too wrong for hope
Right to depression
Left into drugs
You turn to nig***
Exit bit**** and th***

Bridge - C.J. Edwards
You see this road you’re traveling on
I’ve seen many
Many go down
That same, same road
And let me tell you where it leads
Nowhere
It’s just a dead end

Chorus - C.J. Edwards
I tried to warn you
It’s not enough
See you’ll end up dead
Or dead to us
I know your tough
But if you don’t give it up
I’ll say you’ll end up dead
Or dead to us

If ya like me and woke up late, ya probly stopped listening to some HipHop, n started D.I.T.C. for ancestor musicians that put spirit over material. If so ya will be grateful to find cats like these. Big thx to my homie Bert for sharing, n big thx to Gaspar Yanga Third Root keep doin it, it’s hard to blend conscious music with something ya can dance to...but ya all do it! Peace/Hotep adrian5star
