Cameron London - Ashes To Ashes

If I don't make it then bury me with a pen
So I can ghostwrite for the rappers playing pretend
If I'm standing at the gates and the angels don't let me in
Burn all of my raps and then scatter em in the wind
No head start
Just in case I get to run it back
Spit crack
Not the type that made rounds in the black
Neighborhoods, had em feeling good
Stuck under the spell, wish em well
But I know that it's a special place in hell
For the killers that target the young, target the grown
Parents dead, daughters and sons all on they own
Granny tells all of em chill, just stay at home
Bullets don't have no names, but headstones do
And I'm not trying to bury my kids
Wanna be present so I ain't bout serving a bid
My mindset is something that I had to defeat
I take pride in the fact that I ain't running the streets
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
We all gotta go someday
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
It's all gonna change someday
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
We all gotta go someday
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
It's all gonna change someday
Streets desensitized to homicide
Hearing mamas cry
As they listen to the street gospel
Preacher tried
To speak like he was qualified
He too occupied
So I'm speaking in his place
Knowing that I prophesied
In detail
But could never quell my rage
The rap bible
I pray I never litter a page
Cause man can tell lies and the lies can bring death
I'm a man of my word till I'm taking my last breath
Knowledge is pain
Knowledge is power to change
Knowledge is character growth
But it's moments that I'd exchange
For some ignorance
Cause ignorance is bliss sometimes
Take subliminals, but now I never miss no lines
Take me, as I am, or don't take me at all
God hit me on the line, I had to answer the call
Tried to open up my heart and they misused my trust
So it's ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
We all gotta go someday
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
It's all gonna change someday
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
We all gotta go someday
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
It's all gonna change someday
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
We all gotta go someday
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
It's all gonna change someday
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
We all gotta go someday
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
It's all gonna change someday
