Cycle

[Intro]

Hood on, shoot till they drop nigga

We'll be waiting for you 'round the corner nigga

[Verse 1]

Only 12 and a half and already ducking them jabs

Fighting back, just hoping that he last, he on his ass

Huffing and puffing, getting tagged

See what this nigga feel, would only make them niggas laugh

He felt the discomfort, ain't trust them right away

Saw the devil in they eyes, his homie looking straight

But something was different in him, not the same from yesterday, shit

His whole demeanor changed, even his smile was strange, his childhood

Never came, but dude was always gutter, he got it from his brother

From his brother from his brother, brought pain onto his mother

Once was elementary homies but now we attack each other

Shit set love aside, took his pride, shit he had to ride

Threw on his hood and then he fired

Fired and fired, fired and fired, the tires screech

Spirit of up out of reach, a young nigga's swallowing yeast

Trapped in the belly of the beast, sheesh

[Hook]

I know niggas, that kill niggas, that kill niggas, that kill niggas, that kill niggas

The cycle continues, the cycle continues (Kill nigga, Kill nigga)

[Verse 2]

He only 17, his homies was his motive

He only 17, his momma never noticed

Too busy paying bills, tryna provide a meal

Pay the rent and steal, her child live for a thrill

Fulfill his niggas wishes, no more hugs and kisses

No more "How you been," no more tucking in

He with them other men, poppa never came

So his cousin dem would pretend, imitating if they was him

Got the pistol on him, loaded, loaded off of gin

Feels like niggas on him, so he look for them

First nigga wrong hat? Blam-blam to him

Paranoia kills, kill or be killed

Let alone all them thugs, let alone all them drugs

Treat his kind like a bud, let's see how karma does

Let's see how much he loves, shoot him up, shoot him up, bam-bam

[Hook]

I know niggas, that kill niggas, that kill niggas, that kill niggas, that kill niggas

The cycle continues, the cycle continues (Kill nigga, Kill nigga)

Know niggas, that kill niggas, that kill niggas, that kill niggas, that kill niggas

The cycle continues, the cycle continues (Kill nigga, Kill nigga)

[Verse 3]

This nigga 21, he feel like he the man

This nigga 21, his mom said "be a man"

Love to sag his pants, pistol in his hand

Feel he too advanced, him slipping out his chance

Think he at his best, he hit the set he making orders

Got them little niggas busting shots and flipping quarters

An ounce, a half, double up, shit what you order

Even dimes, think with a corrupted mind

Adapted to them crimes, living with regrets

In order to survive, gotta get high

Cautious with time, paranoia hard through his body

Trying love for a hobby, you know gangsters come with kids

Teaching them wasn't his

EBT the corner store, he go fill up the fridge

Approached by a little nigga, hoodie over his lid, looking down a barrel

Of a burner tucked, aimed at his wig, let him fire, then he fire

[Hook]
