When I'm Gone Lyrics

To whoever wherever

I write this letter

Out of pain

I can't afford a car

I walk to work in the rain

I never felt ashamed

Cause most of us do the same

The neighborhood we live

Is something you can't explain

We want to break the chains

Praying one day for change

So many people putting

That poison inside they veins

The poverty became

The reason that we insane

The government just gives us

Whatever crumbs that remain

It's a shame

Everyday seem so dark

It's dangerous for the kids

To even play at the park

Cause theres needles

It's some dealers

It's some feigns & even narcs

At any seconds shit could start

You could hear the tool spark

It's a war in my city

Philly's Vietnam

If I get caught

They'll lock me up

& strip me of my time

I give them food for thought

Every time I feed my mind

Still searching

Maybe one day we won't be so blind

When I'm gone

Promise me you'll stay strong

I sing this song

To help you continue on

The road is long

Marching right through the storm

God on my side

I got the world in palm

When I'm gone

Promise me you'll stay strong

I sing this song

To help you continue on

The road is long

Marching right through the storm

God on my side

I got the world in palm

Begging God to make a way

Every single night still

Sold half my food stamps

So I could pay the light bill

Any day I might die

Everyday I might kill

Niggas sleeping on me

They addicted to that night quill

Fuck it though

Get the money

Never trust a soul

I fuck with bro

But if he flips

That ima cut his throat

And I don't trip about no chick

Cause bitches come and go

I'm trying to get like Jay

So we could make

that money blow

Yo sometimes I fear

That they won't hear us cry

If they ain't tell you I'm the realest

Homie someone lied

If I ain't rich by 29

It's cause I fucking died

Never quitting cause I'm winning

That's my Stubborn pride

When I'm gone

Promise me you'll stay strong

I sing this song

To help you continue on

The road is long

Marching right through the storm

God on my side

I got the world in palm

When I'm gone

Promise me you'll stay strong

I sing this song

To help you continue on

The road is long

Marching right through the storm

God on my side

I got the world in palm
