[Verse 1: Ab-Soul]
Black-lip bastard, destined to be a bastard Crip
But I passed on it to make classic hits
I pray I'm forgiven for not bein' down or puttin' the work in that certain niggas did
Reason behind they service in the pen partially why I don't write
I just pull it out the wind, sometime I can't sleep at night
I be thinkin' 'bout my friends, know they up to no good, it's all bad
I seen the yellow tape at Del's and almost had a heart attack
You never know with this shit, I don't understand
Kids carry cannons on Instagram, but cryin' when the cuffs on they hands
It's out my hands, it's two sides to every story
And I ain't a judge or signed up for jury duty
My youth was stolen, movin' too quick, it's sick though
'Cause Vince know what I know now and I'm twenty-six, we still movin' further
Hope my seeds grow to be trees and not just bushes hidin' burners
[Chorus]
Hey, can I live without killin' y'all? Please
Can I live without killin' y'all? Please
Can I live without killin' y'all?
Can I live without killin' y'all?
Can I live without killin' y'all?
Can I live without
[Verse 2: Vince Staples]
Call the gang unit, they know the name, foolie
I truly was built for this shit
I'm in the ring coolin' right by where the enemies live
You know you can't kill a giant with a lucky shot
Aim for the head when you fuck with God Jehovah
I'll hopefully be speakin' the colder the beat
Snitchin', we domin' your niece
Homies as cold as police
Momma had told us as kids never to shit where you eat
Ain't got a clip for the heat, .357, I think I'm Itch Dawg
Niggas know I'm 6-5 'til I'm six feet
Under where they took us, undercovers parked on Orizaba
Dogs up in the yard of the abandoned where we hide the choppers
I couldn't hide from the karma, you see, it followed me
Fuck it, get it crackin' in public
These niggas rap for the fashion, they want the mansion, they puppets
A puppet master will bust and that chamber talk, but I'm muzzled
[Chorus]
Hey, can I live without killin' y'all? Please
Can I live without killin' y'all? Please
Can I live without killin' y'all?
Can I live without killin' y'all?
Can I live without killin' y'all?
Can I live without killin' y'all?
