Story Behind the Song
This song took about 5 minutes to write, after the beat was made (in a day). All of my lyrics are true. The inspiration came from my life on the streets. I didn't take my stories from someone else's life. I did this one in 4 takes, and I say it took about 4 hours to complete.
Lyrics
- I'll rock non-stop, while you was punchin in a time clock
I was on the block slinging dime rocks,
- Smoking big spliffs to the motherfuckin head till my eyes turned bloodshot red
Then I blow smoke for the dead,
- Niggas who caught the raw deal
And ended up on the wrong side of the blue steel,
- I never did have a love for cops
Cause they was chasin us, beatin niggas up for props,
- I ain't a stranger to gunshots, cause we heard em sitting on my block
And it wasn't shit to us, so we didn't stop,
- Even when the sirens came
The only thing that would get us off the strip was rain,
- I mean a fuckin hurricane, cuz that was life
We wasn't hustling right, niggas would scuffle at night,
- And later on, niggas always got to bustin at night
You think my fucking neighborhood was predominately white, YEAH RIGHT,
- Draus had to fight, even if I didn't wanna
Or my ass was a gonna,
- Dog I been jumped, shot at, then one day I shot back and fought back
I had to get my heart back, You Got that,
- I heard a motherfucker say, "Drop that"
So let loose three, then I dropped back,
- Now this aint the life that I want for our kids to lead
So we gotta teach em to read,
- We gotta give em what they need, and room to breathe
And hope they never ever turn to the streets, indeed,
- Yo, I'll put it out there for my son
And prey that he never has to turn to the gun,
- And prey that he never has to run, from the grips of fate
Cuz for many of us, it's too late,
- But not to late for me, I know it aint too late for D
And that my people love and not hate for me,
- Cuz I don't hate you I love you all
I’ll never steer you wrong, Or let you fall,
- We wanna walk on our own, but first learn to crawl
But in the end it's gon be all good you feel me yall,
-Chorus
All my brothers is dying
That's why I blaze for Daze
All my niggas keep fryin
That's why I blaze for Daze
All these motherfuckers lyin
That's why I blaze for Daze
All these mothers keep cryin
That's why I blaze for Daze
Why we livin life savage
Cuz we blaze for daze
Why we die for the cabbage
Cuz we blaze for daze
Why we keeping bad habits
Cuz we blaze for daze
Why we blast automatics
Cuz we blaze for daze
- Lord, please make a change, cuz we rottin from the inside out
Like the street spit its insides out,
- Too many niggas catching three strikes out
Brothers get all drunk and shoot the streetlights out,
- Now granny been on the block all her life
And she scared to walk to the store at night,
- And even some dayz, White people worry bout the sun rays
Kids in the hood gotta worry bout the gun blaze,
- I don't wanna die over something petty
But niggas still gotta be ready, this shit is heavy,
- When I was young, I used to cling to my gun
And hope at least I get the chance to bust back and run,
- But nowadays, I'm all about raisin my son
And I aint raisin no gun, or blazin no one,
- But I'm warning you bitch
Let me live my life without dealing with strife, because I wanna be rich,
- And I always knew, I was born to be shit
But then I found out life stinks, so this is it,
- I aint a doctor, lawyer, all I got for ya
Is controversy, so let me spell it out for ya,
- D, R, A, U - S
Now why did God put me here, Dog I'll let you guess,
- I'm here to help you pass life’s true test
Can you walk the straight and narrow, without getting too stressed?
- I don’t know man, Shit is kinda hard
My whole fucking family is bruised and scarred,
- But we a tough bunch, that's why Draus throw a motherfucking Death-punch
I'll eat that ass for lunch, Dog.
Why my peeps keep smoking
Cuz we blaze for daze
All these people think I’m joking
I don’t know how I keep coping
Cuz we blaze for daze
All my people keep hoping
Cuz we blaze for daze
Why the Draus keep rocking
Cuz we blaze for daze
Why police keep clocking
Cuz we blaze for daze
Why these haters keep watching
Cuz we blaze for daze
Why the fuck I aint stopping
Cuz we blaze for daze
All of hook is recorded, but not played in demo
