23kp - Been Wondering

I think it's finally time that I ask myself
How it would've been different if I asked for help
Would I be sittin' here feeling trapped as hell
It's been a while since I heard my voice, yeah I can tell
Back in the day
The game was played in a different way
Today children getting shot up in broad day
No time to waste
High stakes and high pay
Gettin' shot over 5k on the driveway
What's really the definition of a crime
25 to life, that's one hell of a time
Thinkin' I might be crazy, I'm talking borderline
29 and I still haven't made up my mind
Look
With these snitches I don't associate
When you talk, know it better be appropriate
Fake views fake news
No I don't relate
Why is it the less we see
The more we hate
You're looking at a real one
So don't be late
Change the world with my life, I dedicate
Staying medicated, that's how they meditate
I got the table, just make sure you bring your plate
Too many lives fly
With drive by's
How many enemies will I spy
How many bye byes by the time that I rise
Too many lives fly
With drive by's
How many enemies will I spy
How many bye byes by the time that I rise
He took a beating
He should've been in school reading
Momma's pleading
God save him, please stop the bleeding
Now he can't get up
She doesn't know it was a set up
This happens more often than not
That's why I'm fed up
Who can you trust when money can kill
Even blood will stab you in the back for a mil
I helped you up when you were on the ground
When I needed you
You were nowhere to be found
Just look around
And just before you turn to dust
How many names remain
In your circle of trust
Shouldn't have to say it
Loyalty is a must
Pray that I'm never blinded by
Love or the lust
So this is for all of my real friends
Backwards we bend
Together always ready to defend
Authenticity
No, we don't pretend
Don't gotta worry 'bout no lifejacket
When I'm out there
Swimming in the deep end
Too many lives fly
With drive by's
How many enemies will I spy
How many bye byes by the time that I rise
Too many lives fly
With drive by's
How many enemies will I spy
How many bye byes by the time that I rise
It might sound crazy
But I know one day you'll figure out
What I'm saying
Is something you already knew about
Hoping maybe
Someday we will all know how
To tap into ourselves and let it out
I've been wondering when things will ever change
That's when you will see that we are all the same
