Lyrics From Snippets
[Intro]
Fucking Glock, put all the trust that I got
In this 17 shots
When I'm gone die, got me feeling like I'm "Pac"...

[Verse]
Trapped in a maze, in Miami ridin' wit' a K
I don't dot the door without my fire cause' it ain't safe
Think about my life and a close and early grave
I, became, all that I can be
Now the crackers want my freedom
Them niggas wanna take my life from me
Conversate wit' my BM, these niggas wanna take my wife from me
Get up on me, do me bad, and break down my dynasty
Niggas tryna get close, just to stab me in the back
Fuck that!
Nigga play, get him wackеd
I know niggas who wasn't killers till they becamе rappers
Cause these niggas a make you kill 'em, playing the game backwards
Catching pistol case after pistol case tryna survive
I'm not a gangsta sir, I just wanna see Twenty-Five
Another shoot out in the A, I barely made it
To make it home to my lil girls all I be thinking 'bout
Wish I coulda took a safer route

[Chorus]
They got me down on my knees
Head to the sky, finger on the trigger (Boom)
Tryna stay alive
They got my back against the wall
Tryna survive, Lord let know it, am I coming or am I going I say

[Bridge]
It ain't Easy, being me
Having fame, will I see my next birthday?
Will I see-
(yeah,yeah)
Yeah, I dont wanna see the, pain
All these chains got me

[Chorus]
They got me down on my knees
Head to the sky, finger on the trigger (A Nigga)
Tryna stay alive
They got my back against the wall
Tryna survive, Lord let know it, am I coming or am I going I say
