Neverending Cycle

[Intro]

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...

[Verse 1]

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

[Hook]

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?

[Verse 2]

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

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

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

[Hook]

[Outro]

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?
