Lay Me Down
Trill Fam Lyrics

Yeeeaaa!
Exclamation of enthusiasm and excitement.

Lil Boosie bad azz niiigggaaa... (real shit)
Boosie is a real G and his words are authentic.

From a real n***a to a real n***a...
Addressing someone trustworthy who understands the life on the streets.

I lost my ni***z in these streetz to that gangsta lean
Grieving for the loss of close friends due to gangster lifestyle.

Pictures make it worse... Listen to this sick a** verse from bad azz
Recalling the past by looking at photos makes the pain worse. Here's a powerful song to help cope.

Spit the same game to hoes... Like the same clothes... Money bring power so
Acting tough, using the same tricks on girls, and having money means status.

We like a bank roll...
They are a group of men with a lot of money.

In my bed at night I c*** it sit it next to da lamp
Sleeping with a gun for protection.

Thinking bout all my Trill ni***z we lost out the camp
Reflecting on the memories of friends who died out on the street.

Tears runnin down my momma eyes and It's da truth
Mom crying because it's the truth and it hurts.

Plenty nights ya son tried but ma! I'm Boosie Boo
Boosie tried to be there for his mother but he's a gangster first and foremost.

2 dead in broad daylight on the southside curb
Mourning the loss of life and wishing things could be different.

You ain't heard! You in danger if you got them birds
If you have drugs, you're in danger of being hurt or killed.

Plus my grandma lost her life... (damn!)
Grandmother died and it's terrible.

Momma House in Flames... (maaannee!)
Mother's house was on fire.

Uncle still dranking like the game don't change...
Uncle still drinking despite the life-changing events.

I can't sleep at night
Insomnia from stress and trauma.

Mane these nightmares they eat me up
Nightmares from the events in real life affect a person's mental health.

Saw Lil Ivy laid out! Had to hit my knees Brah!
Seeing a friend die causes intense pain and instills a desire to pray for strength.

Help me lord jesus! When I'm on my way home
Asking for protection on the way home from danger and enemies.

Keep them devils off my back and keep me scraped with that chrome...
Asking God to protect him from harm and offering up his weapon as a symbol of strength.

Sometimes I wish that I could change World
Wanting to make changes in the world for the better.

I probably could... But it ain't no tellin if I would
The possibility of making positive changes, but it's uncertain.

Cause I'm straight up out the hood
The reality of not having the opportunities to improve life outside of the hood.

Knowing that a n***a should...
Knowing the right things to do, but not being able to do them.

My momma always taught me right from wrong
Mother instilled values and taught morals.

"And when ya die, baby life goes on"
Accepting the reality that you won't live forever and that life goes on after death.

They say what goes around gotta come around
Karma teaches that actions have consequences.

And when it come down to the come down only God gon hold ya down
In the end, the only thing that truly matters is one's relationship with God.

That's why you see me by my lonely and I ride by myself
Being alone and self-reliant is a way to protect yourself from being hurt by others.

All my real ni***z gone
All the real friends are dead or locked up.

I only got a few left...
Fewer true friends remain.

Lord forgive me for all my sins... Cause God knows all da wrong I did
Asking for God's mercy and recognition of one's past wrongdoings.

I'm tryna shake back that's why I smoke sack for sack
Trying to get back on track and cope by smoking weed.

Tryna reach God but the Devil on my back
Feeling like the Devil is constantly trying to prevent the pursuit of God and goodness.

The Judge tryna give my big dawg nem life
The justice system is unfairly trying to imprison friends for life.

On some bullshit you know that s**t ain't right
Feeling wronged by the justice system's corruption and unfairness.

I pray everynight so I can sleep right cause in the daytime dawg I Live The Street Life!
Praying for peace of mind before sleep since they still live a life on the streets during the day.

Don did Good
Don was a good person.

Don did Dirt
Don also did some bad things.

Don stayed hood the whole way
Don stayed in the hood his whole life despite the dangers and challenges.

I felt something when the phone hung up
Sensing something wrong after a phone call ended abruptly.

I ain't feel it comin out that day
Feeling unprepared for something that happened on that day.

In that way you can trust ni***z
Not being able to fully trust anyone.

Or learn fast and say f**k ni***z
Learning not to trust anyone and distancing oneself from others.

My chest hurt, My vest hurt, My heart hurting
Feeling emotionally and physically hurt and wounded.

I f****d with him!... He raised me! Grew up with him!
The loss of a father figure who raised and mentored him.

Taught me bout sum of this street s**t
Teaching street smarts and survival skills for life in the streets.

Kinda n***a you ain't wanna Beef with
Big and powerful guy that you don't want to get into a fight with.

Got me wondering how in da hell he slipped
Questioning how a person so powerful and skilled could be killed or taken down.

That just goes to show me shid none of us ni***z untouchable
Understanding that no one is truly invincible or immune to danger or death.

I ride with sumthin everywhere I go
Carrying a weapon at all times for protection.

Will I live to see 30? That's questionable...
The possibility of not living past the age of 30 due to the dangerous lifestyle they lead.

I told God times hard
Asking God for help during tough times.

N know I had to spit these rhymes hard
Rapping with intensity and passion to cope with struggles.

Had to bust heads for to get that bread
Doing what is necessary to make money, including violence.

Sometimes it can be left there to leave a scar
Violence can have lasting effects and leave emotional scars.

Live my life like f**k tomorrow
Living in the moment and not thinking about the future.

Nall I ain't saying give up tomorrow
Realizing that giving up on tomorrow is not the answer.

Waitin for to blaze me a blunt tomorrow
Looking forward to smoking weed tomorrow as a means to cope with pain and struggle.

Then lay around there n get me stomp tomorrow
Relaxing tomorrow and forgetting about stress by smoking and hanging out despite potential danger.

If You try and play me like a punk tomorrow
Not being afraid to stand up to provocation or aggression, even if it means violence.

Have yo azz in da trunk tomorrow
Threatening to retaliate with violence if provoked.

Leave da ice to my brother boy, go stunt hard
Leaving his jewelry to his brother and encouraging him to show off and live freely.

Close my eyes I'm going to God
Looking forward to obtaining eternal peace by going to Heaven after death.

Trill Fam holla at ya boy
Reaching out to his friends in the Trill Fam.

We still fam I'm forever boy
Despite the pain and loss, they are still family and bound together forever.

When ya time comin you ain't never knowing
Not knowing when death will come and therefore making the most of every day.
