x-raided - life sentences lyrics

[intro]
que sera sera
whatever will be, will be
the future’s not ours to see
que sera sera
what will be, will be

[verse 1]
yeah, and they ask what my life like, barbed wire, bars and chains
24 hours everyday, it’s all guards and gangs
hard to change from demon to angel when you spent the majority of your life learning to scheme and finagle and it’s glorified
a change is occuring before your eyes, no more lies
you’re witnessing a rebirth, seeing a warrior rise, war cries
wounds heal but the scars remain ’til i’m back to ash, dust to dust and my charred remains
is put in a urn and gave to momma, i tried to brave the drama
but i been apologizing for the way i behaved but momma i’m sick
it’s past cancer, misanthrope, i can’t fight it
this little light of mine, i been trying but i can’t light it
slip into gang violence, living in strange silence, deaf and muted
you gave me life, only death computed
blame violence, it’s plain science, you give it you get it
and where i’m from you can’t pretend to forget it, you gotta live it
this is life, nonfiction, nothing but truth
it’s easy to talk about what you would do if it was you
cause you on the outside looking in with a bird’s eye view
but on the inside looking out, the avenues are few
[chorus]
so what my life like?
what my life like?
what my life like?
what my life like?
nah, what your life like, n+gga?
what your life like?
what your life like, n+gga?
what your life like?

[verse 2]
what my life like? nothing but pain and suffering
the ghetto’s a circus, we in h+ll and flames is smothering
and the devil cursed us ’til the earth busts, feeling insane and worthless
on the inside although we may look tame on the surface level
immersed us in a ocean of hate
most men scream and lose their mind waiting, hoping for fate
to intervene, they choose to grind and keep steaks on their plates instead of starve
the d.a. tryna put together their case, another charge
be in court facing life, pleading guilty to many years
being filthy, sacrificed your freedom in many tiers
who could judge it? you meant to be righteous but stayed thuggish
a cell is the only room for my brother in the state budget
the public is sending me under the gun and i “can’t truss it” like public enemy number one
it’s terminator x+raided in the eyes of the system at 17
nightmares instead of dreams, tryna survive in prison
[chorus]
so what my life like?
what my life like?
what my life like?
what my life like?
nah, what your life like, n+gga?
what your life like?
what your life like, n+gga?
what your life like?

[verse 3]
what my life like? i’m tryna grow
it’slike a gray cloud following me wherever i go
i’m tryna rise, trying to expand my mind but the truth is no one taught me what i needed to know
i learned on my own through trial and error
as a child, the terror i experienced too much to bare
i was wild and careless, needed a pile of therapists, by then i had already seen too much to care
so if you wonder why my words and diction is full of murder convictions, love for thugs and absurd predictions
it’s based on the fact that i learned from witnessing crazy acts committed by parents who made absurd decisions
if you see a contradiction, you just viewing the struggle
occasionally might stumble but i refuse to tumble
life is a jungle, i’m a lion trying, roaming to roar
since a child, all i known was war
don’t get it twisted, i’m never switching positions, i’m sticking to what i’m known for
if you didn’t feel it, what you slip into my zone for?
i l+st your criticism, herein lies the life of every n+gga with venom in him, i’m with him, i’m spitting these life sentences
nonfiction, nothing but truth
it’s easy to talk about what you would do if it was you
cause you on the outside looking in with a bird’s eye view
but on the inside looking out, the avenues are few
[chorus]
so what my life like?
what my life like?
what my life like?
what my life like?
nah, what your life like, n+gga?
what your life like?
what your life like, n+gga?
what your life like?
what my life like?
what my life like?
what my life like?
nah, what your life like, n+gga?
what your life like?
what your life like, n+gga?
what your life like?
