Lyrics
, we never sleep, the block's hot 'till it rains, an i'mma keep goin' 'till the devil come and get me, i can't rest up, i got a habit, kid i'm out here messed up, y'all don't know the half of it, we never sleep, the block's hot 'till it rains, an i'mma keep goin' 'till the devil come and get me, why the devil tryna take me away?, why the devil tryna take me away?, uh, e'day you walk past, you pro'ly notice me, i'm right there in the garbage gettin' my groceries, an' e'day i ask the lord: " 'dis is how is 'posed to be?", wintertime it's freezin' out here and my coat is weak, summertime it's even worse, i damn near overheat, ain't no ac strong enough to cool a, i get jealous when the neighbors say that home is sweet, i can't go in: i'm always outside like bruce bowen's feet, man, i remember when i had enough dough to treat, e'ry mother's day we packed in my range rover jeep, me, my girl, my moms, and grandmoms used to go and eat, red lobster: 45 minutes before you on a seat, so here's a jewel for potheads: if you smokin' cheeba, watch ya man's fill the dutch up and control the leaf, i ain't know my man smoked, he was so discrete, now e'day i'm sellin' e'thing and can't go to sleep, we never sleep, the block's hot 'till it rains, an i'mma keep goin' 'till the devil come and get me, i can't rest up, i got a habit, kid i'm out here messed up, y'all don't know the half of it, we never sleep, the block's hot 'till it rains, an i'mma keep goin' 'till the devil come and get me, why the devil tryna take me away?, why the devil tryna take me away?, uh, man, i wonder what's in 'nere 'dat got me chasin' 'nat, no appetite, 'cause when i eat i only taste the crack, the smoke got my teeth yellow like my laker's hat, made my smile ugly, dog, i used to major mac, my son buggin' out, he treat me like a steppops, he still holdin' that grudge, 'cause i sold his xbox, that boy crazy, think i let that go for 2 jacks, man, i got a bundle for dat: i ain't no new jack, my fam' ashamed of me: they ship to them programs, i clean it up while i'm in 'nere, but i come home an'. y'all know the rest, a carpet ride in the sky, it's funny: i swear i hate it, but i like to get high, i grab that pipe an' i fly, when i come down, i'm so mad, so i hustle up ya bread to get one more bag, the other fiends, they just jealous, man, i watch 'em hate, ya see they need the whole 10, i get my rocks for 8, we never sleep, the block's hot 'till it rains, an i'mma keep goin' 'till the devil come and get me, i can't rest up, i got a habit, kid i'm out here messed up, y'all don't know the half of it, we never sleep, the block's hot 'till it rains, an i'mma keep goin' 'till the devil come and get me, why the devil tryna take me away?, why the devil tryna take me away?, uh, i'm tired, it's like i'm standin' up half asleep, i don't even need a whole night, a lil' nap is sweet, this habit got me runnin' round like i'm an ath-a-lete, underarms bangin', homie, i ain't take a bath in weeks, an' that's funny, 'cause, how i'm smellin' so foul, but go in grocery stores and clean out they whole soap aisle, i wanna quit and i would, but i don't know how, no i don't on second thought i think i wanna smoke now, life sucks, 5 bucks was a beef and brat, no it's just 3 bucks away from a decent rock, i'm tired of e'body tellin' me i need to stop, you like the shit and try to quit, tell me that it's easy, pop, trust me: you won't say nothin', you be fiendin', ock, mouth on freeze like it's studyin' to be a cop, e'day i wake up like "that's it, imma beat the rock", but e'thing change when i turn that corner and see the block, we never sleep, the block's hot 'till it rains, an i'mma keep goin' 'till the devil come and get me, i can't rest up, i got a habit, kid i'm out here messed up, y'all don't know the half of it, we never sleep, the block's hot 'till it rains, an i'mma keep goin' 'till the devil come and get me, why the devil tryna take me away?, why the devil tryna take me away?
