Nic .95 - Colors over Johnny Lyrics

Long as I live I'll cry out
Long as I live
This one for the gutter, ay ay
This one for my mother, yuh yuh
This one for the family, ay ay
This one for my brothers
When we grew up as screw ups and thought they'd never love us
And they would dispute us to move us at least we had eachother
Boy what you doing in the streets in your school uniform
You want your shirt to get torn
Plus the street lights on
Celia was a momma to anyone she could warn
Told me to remember myself and never conform
Ripped my heart to pieces I never did get to mourn
For years been growing roses and holding them by the thorns
Since the day I was born the devil wanted me gone
I never broke a bone thanks to that canopy hanging over my dome
Saw my cousin exposed
Drugs were cutting him slow
Saw the barrel up close
In front or behind the trigger still a victim of war
How your a killing a cure?
Try to tell it to fathers that stayed and wound up burying sons
Couldn't afford the funeral
The tuition was more
In the land of the poor
Ain't much room for remorse
Long as I live I'll cry out
Long as I live
Long as I live I'll cry out
Long as I live
Gotta live it up
Gotta live it up
Put up or shut up get done up
I come up and run in the game
I'm running the game
Is he a Christian or rapper
I promise I'm one in the same
Not as you think
This is a calling to action
I'm packing up all of my pain and I put it inside of a box
And I lock it up
Push it back on to the hell where it came
I gotta flow good for my good God
Not for the top spot they can go kick rocks
Rather spill these thoughts through the rhymes I jot
All the armor I got don't make me hard
This is why I get lost in a God talk
Knowledge is power and y'all don't know nada
If you think your government saving your lot
Y'all need to stop putting Yah in a box
Give it all to King that took it all on a cross
No bigger heart man got than to die for the flock
Long as I live I'll cry out
Long as I live
Long as I live I'll cry out
(Live it up)
Long as I live
(Live it up, live it up, live it up)
Long as I live I'll cry out
(Live it up)
Long as I live

Long as I live I'll cry out
Long as I live
This one for the gutter, ay ay
This one for my mother, yuh yuh
This one for the family, ay ay
This one for my brothers
When we grew up as screw ups and thought they'd never love us
And they would dispute us to move us at least we had eachother
Boy what you doing in the streets in your school uniform
You want your shirt to get torn
Plus the street lights on
Celia was a momma to anyone she could warn
Told me to remember myself and never conform
Ripped my heart to pieces I never did get to mourn
For years been growing roses and holding them by the thorns
