Life goes on Lyrics – Johnny J


[Chorus]
How many brothers fell victim to the streets?
Rest in peace, young nigga, there’s a heaven for a G
Be a lie If I told you that I never thought of death
My niggas, we the last ones left, but life goes on
How many brothers fell victim to the streets?
Rest in peace, young nigga, there’s a heaven for a G
Be a lie If I told you that I never thought of death
My niggas, we the last ones left, but life goes on

[Verse 1]
As I bail through the empty halls, breath stinkin’ in my jaws
Ring, ring, ring — quiet, y’all, incomin’ call
Plus this my homie from high school, he gettin’ by
It’s time to bury another brother, nobody cry
Life as a baller: alcohol and booty calls
We used to do ’em as adolescents, do you recall?
Raised as G’s, loc’ed out, and blazed the weed
Get on the roof, let’s get smoked out, and blaze with me
Two in the morning and we still high, assed out
Screamin’, “Thug ’til I die!” before I passed out
But now that you’re gone, I’m in the zone
Thinkin’ I don’t wanna die all alone, but now you gone
And all I got left are stinkin’ memories
I love them niggas to death, I’m drinkin’ Hennessy
While tryin’ to make it last
I drank a fifth for that ass when you passed, ’cause life goes on

[Chorus]
How many brothers fell victim to the streets?
Rest in peace, young nigga, there’s a heaven for a G
Be a lie If I told you that I never thought of death
My niggas, we the last ones left, but life goes on
How many brothers fell victim to the streets?
Rest in peace, young nigga, there’s a heaven for a G
Be a lie If I told you that I never thought of death
My niggas, we the last ones left, and life goes on

[Verse 2]
Yeah nigga, I got the word it’s hell
You blew trial and the judge gave you 25 with an L
Time to prepare to do fed time, won’t see parole
Imagine life as a convict that’s gettin’ old
Plus with the drama, we’re lookin’ out for your baby’s mama
Takin’ risks, while keepin’ cheap tricks from gettin’ on her
Life in the hood is all good for nobody
Remember gamin’ on dumb hotties at yo’ party
Me and you, no truer two, while schemin’ on hits
And gettin’ tricks that maybe we can slide into
But now you buried — rest, nigga, ’cause I ain’t worried
Eyes blurry, sayin’ goodbye at the cemetery
Though memories fade
I got your name tatted on my arm
So we both ball ’til my dyin’ days
Before I say goodbye
Kato and Mental, rest in peace! Thug ’til I die!
