Tattoo Tears

He bleed game, he don't hold his breath for nothing They know his name, homie always into something He not afraid to get it pumping, he done seen everything Probably more than you could stomach Well known in this section, man they love him Played a record for the block, had the whole hood buzzin And really he just wanna stand for something But he ain't been the same since he lost his favorite cousin Now he don't believe in nothing but himself Representing independent, he ain't begging for no help He ain't begging for no help It's what it is when it's all said and done Get it how you live, and keep it on the hush They'll come up on you quick, yeah That's some shit you can't forget You can still get a bag, don't live too fast and take sips Young boy slow down Young boy don't drown Slow it down Slow it down Young boy slow down Young boy don't drown Slow it down Slow it down He know the story, he know the different voices The way it's paid in blood due to all they own choices He could move like he bulletproof But you gotta see it through when you pick your own poison He just wanna get up out But paranoia got him all up in his head about it He picked a drink up, and found pain where his peace was Broken promises honestly got his faith shook The nightmare that he living got him ate up Hate feelin' how he feel but he stay clutch Sippin' on whatever dreams are made of But lil' homie you know that you gotta wake up Young boy slow down Young boy don't drown Slow it down Slow it down Young boy slow down Young boy don't drown Slow it down Slow it down His heart froze still He look in the mirror but he don't see too clear He done shed so many tattooed tears He don't say prayers Truth is, he don't feel the Lord there Do the Lord care if your stomach in knots And your money is not So you scrapin' the pot and you fallin' behind Cause you starvin' your mind And you're card on decline So you feedin' your thoughts Thinking Dear Heaven, am I too far gone Am I too far gone He spent hours conversating with a headstone He brought flowers but it's hard for him to let go But he know he gotta take that baton He know he gotta keep it solid as stone Old Soul, catchin' up with his past Young boy old soul, don't be livin' too fast Slow it down Slow it down Slow it down
