Serious
G.C.P Lyrics

Life is serious out here on these streets
Life is dangerous and unpredictable in these streets, and there's no room for wasting time.

Got us curious but were just trying to eat
While we may be curious about what's out there, ultimately our priority is survival and providing for our families.

Why cry now inhale the pain is gone
Crying now won't change the fact that the pain is already gone; it's time to accept it and move on.

Get your life back together it's time to move
It's time to pick up the pieces and move on with your life, rather than dwelling on what could have been.

I know it was your baby daddy I saw you kiss him
I saw you kiss your baby daddy, and I know that you loved him and miss him.

Hold up little boy screaming Jesus I miss him
Your son is missing his father and it breaks your heart to hear him cry out for him.

Ain't nobody gonna treat you they way he did
Nobody will ever love you or treat you the way your baby daddy did, and it's hard to accept that reality.

He left you with biggest gift he made a kid
Despite his flaws, your baby daddy left you with the greatest gift he could give, your child.

Now you grab him and smile remember your man
Now you hold your child and smile, remembering your baby daddy and the love you shared.

Even though the life you want it didn't go as plan
Even though your life didn't turn out the way you expected or planned, you're doing the best you can.

With no money for the baby never held a job
Your baby daddy struggled to provide for his child and never held down a steady job.

When the rent was due he always grab the chopper and ride
When the rent was due and he didn't have the money, he would turn to crime to make ends meet.

What you blushing I know you love my nigga
I can tell by the way you're blushing that you still love my baby daddy.

In the casket at 22 he didn't figure
Your baby daddy died at a young age and didn't have a chance to figure out life and provide for his family.

You was mad at the funeral seeing his hoes
You were angry and hurt seeing other women at your baby daddy's funeral, knowing he had been unfaithful.

But he kept it real with you like an thug suppose
Despite his infidelity and flaws, your baby daddy was always honest and real with you, like a true thug should be.

You chose to love my nigga that you met in the Ville
You fell in love with my baby daddy when you met him in the neighborhood, and you'll always love him.

You gonna always love my dog even though he got killed
Despite his death, you'll always love and miss your baby daddy, just like you would a loyal dog.

Smile know Kendall I know you miss my nigga
I know you miss my baby daddy, Kendall, but try to smile and stay strong for yourself and your children.

Two kids to raise without an father figure
You're left to raise your two children without a father figure, which is a difficult and daunting task.

And your youngest son screaming my daddy going to heaven
Your youngest son is struggling to come to terms with his father's death and is wondering if he's in heaven.

You and Bobby Phills always suppose to be together
You and your baby daddy, Bobby Phills, were meant to be together and raise your family.

And everytime you see ball make you want to cry
Every time you see a basketball, it makes you cry, because it reminds you of your baby daddy's love of the game and his untimely death.

Cause my nigga had G and you know he could rise
My baby daddy was a skilled basketball player and had the potential to succeed at the professional level.

From the streets to the big league
Despite growing up in the streets, your baby daddy worked hard and made it to the big leagues.

From the ghetto to the palm trees
He went from a rough ghetto upbringing to a life of luxury and fame in Hollywood.

We pour liquor caused he moved on
We pour liquor out in his memory, as a way to remember him and help us move on from his death.

You shed tears but you stayed strong
You cry and grieve for your baby daddy, but you stay strong and keep going for yourself and your children.

And at the funeral made jokes about his birthday
You try to find moments of joy and humor, even in your darkest times, by making jokes about your baby daddy's birthday at his funeral.

His last words was same time but a different place
Your baby daddy's final words to you were that you'll meet again someday, just in a different place.

And a time I burn a cross
At one point, I was filled with so much anger and pain over my loss that I burned a cross as a way to cope.

For the nigga I lost
I burned the cross in honor of the friend I lost, as a symbolic gesture of my grief.

One slug took the life of my young thug in cold blood
My friend, my 'young thug', was senselessly murdered by one bullet, in a cold and brutal act of violence.

R.I.P. to every daddy on Ken D
Rest in peace to every father who has lost their life in these dangerous streets, including my baby daddy on Kensington Drive.

I'm missing ya'll till this cold earth send me
I miss my fallen friends and loved ones so much that I'll keep mourning them until the day I die and join them on this cold earth.

Sippin a sprite
I'm drinking Sprite, possibly as a way to try and feel better or numb the pain.

Breakin my life
I'm trying to put my life back together after experiencing so much loss and heartache.

When the day turn night and just write
When the day turns to night, I find solace in writing and expressing my emotions through my music.

Till I bed wrinkle
I'll keep writing and making music until I'm an old man, with wrinkles on my face and a life full of stories.

Dippin these hoes till I plant sequel
I'm sleeping around with women and not committing to anything, because I'm too heartbroken to let anyone in.

Running around with that desert eagle
I'm carrying a dangerous firearm, likely out of fear and a need for protection in these harsh streets.

Like it was a bit legal
I carry the gun around as if it's legal, even though it's not, due to the violence and danger that surrounds me.

I got a call from my uncle state
I received a call from my uncle, who likely is someone I trust and respect.

Said it will be a while for they let him out them gates
My uncle told me that it will be a long time before someone I care about is released from prison.

Drop the phone as the tears hit the tip of my ears
I'm overwhelmed with emotions and sadness, and I drop the phone as tears roll down my face.

I'm gonna disappear if he gotta serve more years
The thought of someone close to me serving more time in prison is unbearable, and it makes me want to disappear and escape reality.
