Wolves
Old and Gray Lyrics

You hear dat howl, that's the sound of da wolves comin
The looming danger is felt as the wolves approach and their howling grows louder

Devin Miles, P1, gloc 9 wit a snare drum in
The beats of various rappers sync together to induce a musical experience

Soul leaked in the passenger seat, I see the blood runnin
The graphic depiction of a tragic loss is being observed firsthand

Rest In Peace my nigga Herb
A friend's untimely death is acknowledged and paid respects to

Ain't deserve it, the world crumblin
The injustice of the world coupled with the friend's death compounds the pain

I'm speechless
The overwhelming sense of loss has left the singer without words

Got that news had my nerves jumpin
The shock of the news has left the singer anxious and unable to process the information

Drunk as fuck off the skunk
Intoxication through substance abuse as a means of coping

I was herb dumpin
The artist's involvement in drug use as a way of dealing with grief

But I do this shit for you, forever in it to win it
The music being made is a dedication and promise to the deceased friend to succeed

I heard life don't get easy it get harder
The reality of life being that it becomes more difficult as time goes on

Disposable like a camera, what's bars without a stanza

You can't level up if you ain't got no leverage my nigga
In order to achieve success, one must have resources to leverage

And you can't even manage to put yo phone away
