Last Breath

-Verse 1-
Mama skipped out on school school school
Rather chill on the block block block
Hood thought she was cool cool cool
She was fast she was hot hot hot
Started messing with this fool fool fool
Turned that fool to a pop pop pop
And things never been the same since that baby dropped dropped dropped dropped
She aint have no money he aint have no money so they gotta grind
Baby always hungry, baby nose is runny, Baby always crying
Gotta pay the rent, ran through every cent,
running outta time…She resort to selling sex, he was vex but he started sellin, quarters, nicks, and dimes…dimes
things looking up, cash coming in, everything feel right
little did they know next moment would change they whole life
at the door….all you heard was….neighbor complained things smelling strange
couldn't help but think, damn J Cole right!
then the voice said…Cops on the way…you're already done…
Seconds later cops bustin in rushing them with guns… damn
-Hook-Matthew Grant-
I never meant to hurt you…
I never meant to play with your life
Put this on my last breath
I'm asking forgiveness we all gotta do dirt sometimes…
We allll do dirt sometimes…
We allll do dirt sometimes…
We alllll gotta fall to the dirt sometimes…
To the dirt sometimes!!
-Verse 2 -
Wut mama supposed to do now now now
Pop gone doing time time time
S*** is overwhelming he got caught for selling
now that man a felon aint nobody helping
baby always yelling mama can't think straight
how she gone explain that pop is inmate
hate the neighbor telling aint no point in dwelling
all the pain is shelling brain on suicide -cide -cide -cide
If knowledge is Power, she honor roll
so much strain so much brain
all of her pride she swallow though huh
notice how quickly your s*** change…when u don't fight it
then sometimes its too late switch planes…you end up on united
one day mama had a client right
Who picked her up from her same spot
they driving round…s*** was going down…
then parked off of a main block
at the window…all she heard was…
lights shine through…the look on their eyes
cops popped up caught em surprised
Whoa
she got caught in the act…imagine just how they react
she was sucking a soul in the front …with her innocent soul in the back damn

I never meant to hurt you…
I never meant to play with your life
Put this on my last breath
Im asking forgiveness we all gotta do dirt sometimes…
We allll do dirt sometimes…
We allll do dirt sometimes…
We alllll gotta fall to the dirt sometimes…
To the dirt sometimes!!
