Ryu Winston - Crush and Die

They saw the take off
As I was headed for the sky
But like Kobe Bryant
They prayed I don't land but crash
Shit but crash and die
Only cause
They saw the take off
As I was headed for the sky
But like Kobe Bryant
They prayed I don't land
But crash and die
Yeah, shit but crash and die

See
I' be doing whatever I can
To ensure my family eats
But I heard courage without conscience
Is nothing but a wild beast
I'm from Nkomazi
That makes me a descendant
Of the 3 wise from the east
Where mostly the corrupt eat
So I invited my enemies
And threw them a damn feast
Cause I know they just hungry
And hunger can turn a house dog into a wild beast
Cause I too was like
Caster on the track field
But only I ran the streets
Literally and
With Sabelo on my side
No one dared to fuck with me
Pull up at your crib
Like it's Uber eat
And I'd be lying if I said
I had nothing came for free
Cause when I couldn't take the walk no more
I had people who carried me
And one of the many reasons I believe there's a God
Is because I know long long ago
They should've buried me

They saw the take off
As I was headed for the sky
But like Kobe Bryant
They prayed I don't land
But crash and die
Shit but crash die
Man, Only cause
They saw the take off
As I was headed for the sky
But like Kobe Bryant
They prayed I don't land
But crash and die
Shit but crash and die
Yeah, see
I saw a lot of them disappearing around me
Some behind the bars some I had to bury
I realized right after I looked around
That I'm still breathing
There must be a reason
Otherwise why would all this be happening
All this makes sense
When you let life teach you the lessons
Scary situation when you learn There's nothing you controlling
It's all happening automatically
Life is a perfect illusion
Or should I say a perfect movie There's somebody watching
Therefore I believe
Whatever we're doing is amusing
I mean when last did you ever watch a movie
That's about happiness from the start until the ending
Wouldn't you classify that movie boring?
Life has thrown some shit at me
Reminded me time and time again that it's for rent
Life has thrown some shit at me
Reminded me time and time again that it's for rent

And no amount could ever purchase it
Cause even the rich can't do a thing when the contract ends
So another day wasted in self pity Is a week gone
Another day wasted in insecurity
Is an obscurity to the fact that the whole world is flawed
So whatchu worried for
Tryna impress people who don't even matter or care
Cause after all your efforts
You should know by now the problem is not with you but with them

Find whatever makes you happy
Cause truth be told, we can never make anyone happy
Ours is a temporary fix
And what we need is a permanent one
And that one comes from within
When you realize you're not the only fuck up, so is everyone
So is everyone
Well you know
So is everyone

They saw the take off
As I was headed for the sky
But like Kobe Bryant
They prayed I don't land
But crash and die
Shit but crash die
Man, only cause
They saw the take off
As I was headed for the sky
But like Kobe Bryant
They prayed I don't land
But crash and die
Shit but cash and die
