Through The Day - Young M.A

Cops is firing, niggas is dying

And for the ones tryna make it out, please keep trying

Cause niggas out here die for no reason, it’s killer season

Kids dying, somebody’s son, daughter, nephew, and nieces

R.I.P big bro, I swear I miss you man

I wish I was right up there hanging with you man

In the hood there’s no hope, them crackers take us for jokes

They laugh at us, when we successful they mad at us

Crack fiends in the hood with bad habits

And cops passing always tryna stop and harass us

Liquor stores on the corner, they tryna line us

Go to white neighborhoods, you hardly find one

It’s a cold world, that’s why we hold heat

Either your pops in jail, dead, or a deadbeat

We gotta eat by any means necessary

Cause niggas hustle from February to February

And ain’t no telling how many niggas in cemeteries

It hurt to see my brother’s name on that obituary

They tryna bring us down but fuck 'em, we ain’t breaking

And for my brother, I promised that nigga that I’ma make it

I’m just tryna make it through the day

And I just wanna get away

So I’ma inhale until I’m out of breath

And I’ma drink this bottle 'til it’s nothing left

It really hurt me when they killed my brother

He was only 20 when they took his life from him

I was 17, I was happy with a dream

But when he died I realized life ain’t really what it seems

It’s a cold world, so fuck it I’m a cold girl

And I’m screaming fuck the whole world

Cause life took that one person that meant most to me

Other half, he was close to me

I want him close to me

Now he a ghost to me

I feel like there’s no hope for me

That’s why I keep that toast with me

Cock it back and pop a nigga close to me

Cause I don’t trust nobody

I think i need some damn help

I can’t trust niggas, I don’t trust my damn self

And that’s why my brother dead, because he trust niggas

He fucked around and trusted a fuck nigga

I’m just tryna make it through the day

And I just wanna get away

So I’ma inhale until I’m out of breath

And I’ma drink this bottle 'til it’s nothing left

I’m stressing, anxiety and depression

I carry a lot of anger, a lot of hate and agression

I’m lost, and I’m just tryna find my way home, how

In a world full of people I feel alone after

Almost losing a sister I lost a brother and

Never having a father, only a mother

My sister was one pound and twelve ounces, premature

You heard?

one pound, not three or four

But she survived and that’s a blessing in disguise

We prayed and we had faith, I guess hope is still alive

And now she’s in middle school, you see how time flies?

Just to see her graduate is a feeling I can’t describe

She ain’t really know her brother, he passed when she was five

She was three when she last saw him alive

And I’m just happy that she ain’t gotta ever live with that pain

Shit, I be ready to cry hearing his name man

I’m just tryna make it through the day

And I just wanna get away

So I’ma inhale until I’m out of breath

And I’ma drink this bottle 'til it’s nothing left

Dear lord I know I’m sinning but

It’s hard to change the way I’m living

I gotta get it, I gotta get it

I gotta get it

I’m just tryna make it through the day

And I just wanna get away

So I’ma inhale until I’m out of breath

And I’ma drink this bottle 'til it’s nothing left

Dear lord I know I’m sinning but

It’s hard to change the way I’m living

I gotta get it, I gotta get it

Oh I gotta get it
