Everytime
S.L.A.B. Lyrics

Everytime I turn around my friends are turnin into foes
I can't trust anyone because the people I thought were my friends are turning on me.

I can't feel my days at hand please Heaven open up your doors
I feel like I'm nearing the end of my life and I'm praying for God to give me relief.

I wanna live my life, my life but my life is coming to a close
Even though I want to live my life to the fullest, it feels like my time is running out.

that's why I pray to my God - my God give me strength so I can carry on
I'm relying on God to give me the strength to keep going through the struggles of life.

Feel like I'm goin on 40 but I ain't hit the age of 24
I feel like I've lived a long life already, even though I'm still young.

hard times killing my smile but I'm a make it though
Even though I'm going through tough times, I have hope that I'll make it through.

if I can remember the last time I got to laugh without fakin
I can't even remember the last time I genuinely laughed without forcing it.

on top of niggaz hatin plus I feel I'm runnin by Satan
Not only are people hating on me, but I feel like I'm being tempted by the devil himself.

but I'm a solider and feel like it be hard for me to cry
I see myself as a strong person who doesn't cry easily, even when things are tough.

so I laugh away the pain and roll the time by
I try to distract myself from the pain by laughing and keeping myself busy.

this life I'm livin everyday is reality at it's best
The struggles I'm facing every day are the harsh realities of life.

all my doggs dead or gone and I'm struggles keeping me stressed
My close friends and loved ones are gone, and I'm struggling to cope with the stress of it all.

deep inside I know it ain't right to fake what I'm feelin
I know it's not healthy to fake my emotions, even though I feel like I have to.

they locked my dogg up right when we was reachin the top
One of my friends was arrested just when things were starting to look up for us.

I made a promise to myself that I'm a maab till I drop
I promised to myself that I'll keep fighting and repping my city until the day I die.

I know one day it's gon' get better when the sun get to shine
I have hope that things will improve in the future when times get better.

cause in the rain we forever duckin one time
When it's raining, we're always on the lookout for the police.

and to my brother J and Boss I got ya back till I'm dead
I'll always have my friends' backs, even if it means risking my own life.

Every once in awhile I get a call from my friends
My friends only call me when they need something from me.

one of my homies from the block done went back to the penn
One of my friends from the neighborhood went back to prison.

niggaz can't stay out of shit for shit cause shit gon'call they name
My friends always seem to get involved in trouble, and it always catches up to them.

I done been stranded before my nigga Boss done felt the pain
I've been in tough situations before, just like my friend Boss.

hustlin in the rain not knowin where my meal finna come from
I'm struggling to make ends meet and provide for myself, not knowing where my next meal will come from.

out on the corner with soft and hard - stackin tryna get funds
I'm selling both soft (drugs) and hard (physical labor) to make money.

duece 4 - 7, three hundred and sixty five
I'm hustling every day of the year, 365 days straight.

I keep my head to the sky, hopin God's gonna let me ride
I keep my faith in God, hoping he'll give me a way out of my struggles.

Reminicin bout the better days
I'm thinking back to when things were better in my life.

stuck in a daze got me feelin like I'm trapped in a maze
I feel lost and confused, as if I'm trapped in a never-ending struggle.

I'm at a early age, stressin like a grown man
Even though I'm young, I'm dealing with the same stresses as a full-grown adult.

and all my pain got me beggin for a helping hand
I'm in so much pain that I'm asking for someone to help me through it all.

I miss my brother even though we barely know each other
I wish I could be closer to my sibling, even though we don't know each other well.

cause in my life he been gone away and it make me tougher
My brother's absence has made me a stronger person, even though it's difficult to deal with.

everytime I turn around it's the same thing
I'm always facing the same struggles and hardships, without any relief.

same pain still trapped in the same game
I'm still dealing with the same problems and circumstances, without any hope for change.

Everytime I turn around I feel I'm losin composure
I feel like I'm losing my grip on reality every time I turn around.

Lord knows that hard modes turned me into a solider
My struggles have turned me into a strong, battle-hardened person.

I got a brother living sick thinkin life is a bitch
My brother is sick and he's struggling to cope with the harshness of life.

on lock down and this the type of shit I live with
My brother is in prison, and I'm struggling to deal with the pain of it all.

family be needin cash ends barely meetin
My family is struggling financially and we're barely making ends meet.

Lord knows my pockets starvin while these niggaz eatin
I'm struggling to put food on the table, while other people are living comfortably and eating well.

plus I'm threw fuckin with playas that's finna turn to foes
I'm done dealing with people who pretend to be my friends but will eventually turn on me.

I just wanna leave my life in peace and chase dough because...
I just want to live my life in peace and make money, because that's what matters most to me right now.

Give me the strength cause I grow weaker by the second
I feel like I'm getting weaker and I need God to give me the strength to carry on.

my squab game good but I feel the need to keep a weapon
Even though I'm skilled in fighting, I feel like I need to carry a weapon for protection.

close to me when I'm out in public or when I'm at the house
I always keep a weapon close to me, whether I'm in public or at home.

sometimes I feel like I'm the most hated person in the south
I feel like I'm constantly facing hatred and criticism from people in my region.

I see death around the corner and he callin my name
I feel like I'm always in danger and death is always a possibility.

I know I gotta go but first let me make me some change
I know I won't live forever, but before I die, I want to make something of myself and make some money.

cause I ain't never had nothin in my life time
I've never had anything or any financial stability in my entire life.

so why the world wanna disconnect my life line
Why does the world seem to be against me and want to cut off my lifeline?

I kept it real with homies who kept the realness back
I always stayed true to my friends, even when they didn't reciprocate the honesty.

now that I need 'em they can't see me man how real is that
Now that I'm in need, my friends can't seem to see me or offer any help, which is not real at all.

matter of fact I think they wanna see me dead and gone
I believe that my friends actually want to see me dead and gone, rather than happy and successful.

and me strugglin they don't wanna Z-Ro happy because his friend is 'lone'
My friends won't be happy for me if I'm successful and thriving, because that would mean they're struggling alone.

just cause they dead broke, they want me to be broke with 'em
My friends are actually envious of my potential success and want me to be in the same broken state as them.

jealousy and envy made me sharper then a blade
I've become more cynical and cautious in life because of the envy and jealousy of those around me.

I broke bread why my homies wanna put me in my grave everytime I turn around...
I've shared everything with my friends and they still seem to want to bring me down and cause me harm every time I turn around.
