dark days (sped up) Lyrics

I finally got the fame and fortune that I prayed for
Who would've thought I would emerge from all that gun smoke?
This for all the teenagers that wanna gun tote
'Cause they cheaper in the hood than in the gun store (On God)
You gon' lose a lot of your friends and that's what hurt the most
You can't do nothin' but reminisce about y'all crackin' jokes
You feelin' like nobody love you, I know how that go

You gotta love yourself, lil' nigga
That's gon' help you glow (On God)
I know it might sound lame, but just stay in school (21)
They got a place that they put people who don't follow rules (Yeah)
You probably got your mama scared, don't wanna watch the news
Ready to risk your life and freedom for a pair of shoes
Yeah, you say you love your switch, but it don't love you back
You can hug that block all night, it ain't gon' hug you back (Facts)
Some of your friends gon' reincarnate and come back as rats (Pussy)
And after your candlelight, they ain't gon' give your mama jack

Now your brother kids askin' where they daddy at

So you gotta lie and tell 'em he just took a nap (Damn)
You done failed in the streets, so now you tryna rap
But that ain't really workin' for you, so it's back to trap, damn

When it's all said and done
There's some things you can't run from
It's hard to decide either live or you die
I ask myself, was it all worth the risk?
'Cause I can't pretend, I can't stand the thought of losing you

I know how it feel to see your dawg stretched out (On God)
And watch him struggle tryna let his last breath out (Damn)
You don't wanna do it, but you lost some
Real niggas that you gotta step out

One more seat left in the car, you gotta help out (Yeah)
Niggas stressed out (Yeah)
Probably why I tell the kids to put the guns down (Facts)
Gangster, but I still cry when nobody around

Tryna numb the pain, drinkin' bottles 'til I drown (21)
Never do no suicide
But I'd be lyin' if I said it haven't crossed my mind
I hurt on the inside and I still act like I'm fine

Why the judge give my nigga Paul all that time? (Free Paul)
Heard they lockin' niggas up for what they put in rhymes

Standin' on this shit, fuck it, I'm still writin' mines (Fuck it)
This what growth look like, no more committin' crimes (21)
I stayed out the way and made a way for us to grind (21, 21)

When it's all said and done (All said and done)
There's some things you can't run from (You can't run from)
It's hard to decide either live or you die (Either live or you die)
I ask myself, was it all worth the risk? (Was it all worth the risk?)
'Cause I can't pretend, I can't stand the thought of losing you

All by myself, ooh
Forever, ever, your side
This shit 'posed to be for life (For life)
Droppin' shit since we was five (21)
We got that fire, we was nine, nine

Even though I pop off, you can see the pain in my eyes
I be like, "Fuck love" (On God)
But either way, I'm still gon' try
I be fucked up (21)
Seein' my twin on Channel 5, I
'Cause even gangsters cry

I, I, I (Gangsters cry)
Even gangsters cry
I, I, I

Even gangsters cry

21, 21

My son, this is your time
I know your heart
And I've watched you rise above many challenges
And you have made me so proud

I pray for many more fulfilling experiences
As you elevate to new levels of growth, purpose, and success
Dreams really do come true

By the grace of the source of life, so be it
