Death's Scythe

[Verse] Life's a journey Destiny uncertain, finding purpose Runnin' from the truth, it can hurt you I am legend, last man standing Billion-dollar lifestyle, gun in hand Tombstone has my name in advance Firebird screechin', down the road of riches High as hell, sky's the limit, on the low Winter is comin', we on our toes High hopes, low faith Got me walkin' down this long road On my own, unpaved, man-made I was led astray, now I'm ready to die I done seen death's scythe Murder my folks, leave me alive No reply when I ask God, "Why?" So, I'ma stay fly 'til the day I die Death to the opps Damn near caught a case last night Another day, another battle Straddle the fence of my life Who said life was a bitch and then you die? That's a lie, nah, life is a blessing But you can get shot any second Sick of livin' in the hood, always second guessin' Ducked down from gunshots, that was a close one But who knows when the Lord gon' call your number? Twelve more months 'til summer Got me fallin' in a slumber, they say Only the strong survive God forgive me for my sinful nature Life's a bitch, don't hate her 'Cause she gave you everything that you asked for You don't gotta take it out on her I was raised in the 914, not the 718 You can see it in my face Shed a tear for the death of my family But it gets worse It's gon' take me to the cemetery Or a jail cell, tryna run from my fate I'm hopin' that it's not too late Huh, for Heaven's sakes [Chorus] "Life's a bitch, and then you die" It's the mantra of the day Hopin' that we all go to Heaven someday If not, it's gon' be hell to pay Somebody better pray "Life's a bitch, and then you die" It's the mantra of the day Hopin' that we all go to Heaven someday If not, it's gon' be hell to pay Somebody better pray
