Downfall

Nobody loves you nobody cares nobody will be there when the end gets near. I only stand up in what I believe in playing Russian Roulette with my inner demons. My inner me is my enemy, so keep your distance unless your friend of kin to me. I know this game all too well may the bridges that I burn light my path to hell.
And this is it, it’s happening right now. Live and direct this is the start of a downfall.
And this is it, it’s happening right now. Live and direct this is the start of a downfall.
Walk my dogs in the resting place of dead souls, no one know's exactly where the dead go. Murder City where we feast on young and monsters eat children and pray to the gun. Look what I've become adapt to stack funds by any means to keep the lights on. I blow trees through the city like a breeze one hand on my grip both eyes on my enemies.
And this is it, it’s happening right now. Live and direct this is the start of a downfall.
And this is it, it’s happening right now. Live and direct this is the start of a downfall.
Back, back, back the fuck up. Turn it into an issue you could be losing some tissue cmon.
And this is it, it’s happening right now. Live and direct this is the start of a downfall.

Everybody's got an opinion now of days they can hide behind computer screens and say what they say. Whatever happen to catching a good ol fashion ass whoopin and getting your shoes, coat and your hat tooken. Now of days these pussy's run to police, new jacks don't respect the old code of the streets. I got 2 glocks that hold 16 each add em up that's 32 shots for talking to police.
Step aside I'm taking over from here, I leave sucka new jacks in fear. Don't say my name motherfucker keep in out your mouth, or we'll pull up, pop out and bring it to your house.
It's a scam these cats ran with that bullshit, gang gang trying to be stars with instagram full clips. Until these rats got caught in that trap, and hearts are collapsed, your sinking now theres no coming back. I was told not to fold when the blocks on patrol but they forgot the code they got no soul that shit's gotten old peep. Detroit is where the violence is so that means word is bond and all my words are golden like my motherfucking silence is.
Step aside I'm taking over from here, I leave sucka new jacks in fear. Don't say my name motherfucker keep in out your mouth, or we'll pull up, pop out and bring it to your house
All that street image got to your head son, the only good rat is a dead one. All that street image got to your head son, the only good rat is a dead one. The only good rat is a dead one, the only good rat is a dead one sucka!

Since Day One

Since day one, I was a stray one, I am the struggle from the cradle till the graves dug. I take the long way hard road home, the only path that I've ever known. I question everything and everyone is suspect, ain’t found a denomination that I trust yet. Strap up put my back to the wind ready for this journey of suffering to begin.
Baptized, baptized in hell, baptized in hell fire Ill dance with the devil till my time expires. Baptized, baptized in hell
We are the damned the shamed and forgotten, we are the youth that slipped through the cracks. Blind faith is a fools embrace, I walk my own path and choose my own way. Tell your fairytales to somebody else, solicit the poor with money and gold. In the end all your hailmary's won't be enough to save your soul.
Baptized, baptized in hell, baptized in hell fire I'll dance with the devil till my time expires. Baptized, baptized in hell baptized in hell fire I'll dance with the devil till my time expires.
Mother is the name of god on the lips and hearts of all children. Abash the devil stood and seen how awful goodness is.

Price of Life
02:15

Cops on the take and hookers on the make while that hard cocaine looking for souls to take. Dead man don't tell no tales I'll make good with my time in this living hell. I can't live my life visiting grave sites, but I can't stop wont stop until I get that pay right.
I don't knock what another man does to survive, wether its bundle to bundle or 9 to 5. Hustle round the clock it never stops.
I'm from the golden era school of hard knocks drug spots and random gun shots. Blood money make the world go round big bank take little bank all the way down. I seen an evil man rob and kill, I seen a good man beg for krills. Being broke don't have no face and the price of life don't give a fuck about race.
I don't knock what another man does to survive, wether its bundle to bundle or 9 to 5. From the cradle to the grave we about that life.
Money makes the world go round and I'm on that ride, I don't knock what another man does to survive. From the cradle to the grave we about that life.

I've been walking through life like a ghost, lost soul with no place to go. No hope or place to call home, coming to terms with dying alone. No one here gets out alive, trife life so I stay with a 9. If you could see the world through my eyes, If you could see the world through my eyes.
86 Cro Mags sign of the times combined with Jedi Mind violent by design, safe to say I'm fucking losing my mind, safe to say I'm fucking losing my mind.

I've been walking through life like a ghost, lost soul with no place to go. No hope or place to call home, coming to terms with dying alone. When nobody feels your pain and nobody knows you name, find strength in solitude and smash any motherfucker in my way.

Who the fuck want what when I roll up, disrespect and ya spot get's blown up. I am the master killer 41 shot for the cops with no love. My click don't play no games say no names gang gang gang, straight out the zoo and we bang on shit like orangutan's. I done did a lot of things to get change took it to a level that a lot of people wont go, got the devil and the cops knocking at my door so I stay with a four, five calico. I am that kid that nobody ever gave a fuck about. Money, power, respect and clout is what I’m all about.
I am the supreme, the alpha omega. I am the supreme, the most illest. I am the supreme, the alpha omega. I am the supreme.
Middle finger to the pigs I could write a book of the shit we did, do the research find your crib now it ain't safe where ya live. Dressed in all black boots in all, school ya dogs watch me work. Out the dirt is how I got it more like the mud with the sweat inside it. Blood and tears lend ya ears listen up if you cant relate I don't give a fuck, watch the snakes start clicking up keep ya rolies and ya bently trucks I don't need it fire burns but I don't feed it. I'm secure, try to front like I don't score then its quick to boot up when it's signs of war.
I am the supreme, the alpha omega. I am the supreme, the most illest. I am the supreme, the alpha omega. I am the supreme.
I pay respect to the ones that came before me Rakim, Ice Cube and the original OG, in 93 8ball and MJG showed me how to eat and pull money out of the street what!

I sleep with a 45 under my pillow for anybody trying to leave me weeping in willows.
It's all real believe the world's cold build up walls and don't trust a soul. Stay cold stay true calculated steps before we make moves, punish all my Opps strike hard strike fast to prevent and chance of a counter attack.
Where is everybody that you counted on now, where are they at no one's around. Stand alone when I'm down and out.
Opps want me dead other people cant stand me, keep that black pump closer to me than family. It can all be taken away when the reaper comes knocking then it's time to pay. Roll dice collect with you life it happens like that no time to think twice. Take care of the ones I love and punish all of my enemies, choke on blood fake fucks that try befriending me.
Where is everybody that you counted on now, where are they at no one's around. Stand alone when I'm down and out
There's no hope.
Wherever we're at we keep them blicks right there we ain't gotta show em off or wave em around the air. Keep them shook crew's running like they supposed to, they come around but they never come close to.

It's all a fucking scam. Hard times get met with high crime when people push the envelope to stretch that dime its like speak your mind while bullets fly and little blue men push you back in line. Everybody's got their agenda to meet distress the population with poverty and disease this is the type of shit you got to see to believe politicians are magicians with tricks up thier sleeves.
This is your moment in time, It's time to open your eyes. Will you stand up or lay down and comply. This is your moment in time
War is old men talking and young men dying profits steadily rising and family members crying. Safe guard ain't nothing but a joke increase the revenue sales of liquor and dope. It's hard to cope smoke to relax spend my time plotting jacks to fatten up my stacks. Yes yes yall and it just don't stop I don't trust the government and I don't trust no cops.
This is the time of your life, it's time to open your eyes. Will you stand up or lay down and comply, this is the time of your life.
This is your moment in time, will you stand up or lay down and comply.

Watch the World Burn

I'm just a kid from Detroit with another story living in the shadows of a dead mans dreams. I know you heard it before maybe its boring but this cold hard world wont break me motherfucker. Stand my own stand my ground take whatever comes and give it right back "Right Back" Show no mercy trust nobody take care of your loved ones and protect your neck
Life is hard, respect is earned. Take what you want and watch the world burn.
As a youth I used to hustle for loot boxcutter in my boot with a tripple fat goose. Those were the times when I cut my teeth fell flat on my face learned suffering and defeat. The struggle can't break me tried and failed it's a blessing i'm alive I should be dead or in jail. So now I contemplate the cycle of life think twice and fact chek before I roll dice.
Life is hard, respect is earned. Take what you want and watch the world burn. Watch the world burn. Watch the world burn.
The world is cold knuckle up and chin down, I can't see the beginning or the end now. I've paid my dues, I've sacrificed there's no guarantee's in life.

Who got the blicky I'm riding iffy ready to die like Biggie moving shifty through the city, who's with me. Take away your freedom to talk about they would rather see your bodies on sidewalks laid out with chalk around it.
I know you've been there just like me harassed and detained by the punk police. Profiled just walking the street, steroid freak go stomp your beat. Had enough I can't take any more six in the morning police at my door. No justice no peace fuck 12 fuck police
Stand tall stand alone, extreme violence sets the tone
Buck buck thats the sound of police harassing everybody and fucking with your peeps. You took an oath to protect and serve, crooked motherfuckers got some nerve. Had enough I can't take anymore, six in the morning police at my door. No justice no peace, fuck 12 fuck police.
Stand tall stand alone, extreme violence sets the tone
Crooked police can suck my dick, I'll be judged by twelve before I'm carried by six. You fucking murderer’s
