The Reason
D-Jmc Feat Maria Liucci Lyrics

Just keep ya head on a swivel, they’ll lie to ya face
Be vigilant, people will deceive you.

But I’ll bet that you won’t even know
You might not even realize it's happening.

Word to my mother, you don’t want drama, cause me and my brothas fasho be on go
I'm warning you, don't start any trouble.

And I’m prayin' for all of brodies they fightin' a case
I'm asking God to help my friends who are in legal trouble.

And I just hope that ya hope isn’t lost
I hope you haven't given up.

Promise you that we gone make it no matter the cost
I promise we will succeed, even if it costs us everything.

Give me a reasons to live, This a reason to live
I'm asking for a purpose to keep going.

Why my niggas die young
I'm questioning why my friends keep dying at a young age.

Don’t let my niggas die young
I'm pleading for their lives to be spared.

I’m not gonna stop till I’m reaching my goal
I won't give up until I achieve what I set out to do.

Push start alla tha cars in garage like Tesla no need to control
I have the power to start all my cars, like a Tesla, without control.

Heart feelin' cold
I feel emotionally numb.

The feds be trippen like we on parole, niggas aint on parole
The police are causing problems for us, even though we're not on parole.

Can’t fuck with you nigga you already told
I can't trust you because you've already talked to the police.

Can’t believe one of my lil homies is sellin' his soul
I'm shocked that one of my friends is compromising their values for personal gain.

Been down with the gang since he was like 7 years old
He's been a part of the gang since he was very young.

I remember we started from this
I remember where we began.

Like it was yesterday, we was just kids, we was just 6
It feels like it was just yesterday when we were young children.

Runnin' in and out through the crib
We used to run around the house.

When we used to sleep, dream, sleep, wake up reminisce
We would sleep, dream, and then wake up reminiscing.

Now we drink smoke ,roll up, take a sip
Now we drink and smoke to cope with life's hardships.

Bust back! Unload the whole clip
We're willing to use violence to defend ourselves.

We gon make them other niggas plead the 5th
We will intimidate others into not incriminating us.

Shorty been left way before she really left me
She emotionally checked out of the relationship before actually leaving.

Felt blessed, now a nigga feelin' empty
I used to feel grateful, but now I feel empty.

More pain than the ACL in D. Rose left knee
I'm experiencing more emotional pain than Derrick Rose's knee injury.

She said nigga don’t tempt me, shorty was a lefty
She warned me not to try anything because she's left-handed.

Cuttin' no slack, can’t believe it cost me a stack
I'm not making any allowances, and it cost me a lot of money.

Remember we’d be in that back, movin' pack
We used to be in the back of a car, moving drugs.

Be on the low while we smokin on drow
We'd smoke marijuana secretly.

Crazy how no one would know
It's amazing that no one found out.

We would just pack it and go, we was on go
We would quickly leave after smoking, always ready to move on.

Yeah it can rain it can snow
The weather might be bad, but we don't care.

No matter weather
Regardless of the weather.

You can say I never tried treating you better
You may say that I didn't treat you well enough.

You can say I never wrote you them letters
You may say that I never wrote you any letters.

Remembered the time I would always upset her, remembering things that I’d do to protect her
I remember the times when I used to upset you, but also the times when I did things to protect you.

But shorty that’s all that I ask
That's all I want, shorty.

If we could just live in that in the past
If we could just go back to the past and live there.

We was just going to fast like how I be the driving the wraith
We were moving too fast, like how I drive my expensive car recklessly.

You don’t know shit bout the pain that I take
You don't understand the emotional pain that I'm going through.

Alone in jungle with all of them snakes
I feel isolated and surrounded by dangerous people.

Been thinkin' if you was another mistakes
I've been wondering if being with you was a mistake.

By the time that you hear this it’s already late
You're too late, I've already made up my mind.

Just keep ya head on a swivel, they’ll lie to ya face
Be careful, people will lie to your face.

But I’ll bet that you won’t even know
You might not even realize it.

Word to my mother, you don’t want drama, cause me and my brothas fasho be on go
I'm warning you not to start trouble, because my brothers and I will be ready to fight.

And I’m prayin' for all of brodies they fightin' a case
I'm praying for my friends who are in legal trouble.

And I just hope that ya hope isn’t lost
I hope you haven't given up.

Promise you that we gone make it no matter the cost
I promise we will succeed, whatever it takes.

Give me a reasons to live, This a reason to live
I'm asking for a purpose to keep going.

Why my niggas die young
I'm questioning why my friends keep dying at a young age.

Give me a reason to live, this is a reason to live
This is something that motivates me to keep going and live my life.

Don’t let my niggas die young
I'm pleading for their lives to be spared.
