[Verse 1: Woodie]

Feel the weight on my shoulders, put yourself in my shoes

Before you past judgment upon the choices I choose

I'm just a man with a gun in hand protecting what I love

With a deadly alter plan to persevere and stay above

Cause at any time the walls can come tumbling down

And knock you off the top of the ladder back down to the ground

And now you're back to point A with a strike against you

And society don't like you though they might pretend to

It ain't right what men do but dam it's reality

And I'm a do the best I can to not become a casualty

And stand up for my faculty at any time required

Hammers cocked back gripped the devil ain't getting fired

Just another buried sin till my life comes to an end

Lost my feeling for remorse around the age of nine to ten

Then gave up half my soul when I lost my closest friend

To his brother who went from youngest to oldest then



[Chorus:]

Everyday and every night of my life!

My sanity is standin' on the edge lookin' over the ledge

While mama prays I fight to keep my mind right!

Sleepin' with my lead under my head quick to hop out the bed

And point and aim at every noise in the night!

Pacin' my house 'til sunlight in my armored vest, boxers, socks and cortez

Been infected by life's poisonous bite!

Since I left a man spread, full of lead, fled and left him for dead



[Verse 2: Woodie]

Show a little mercy Lord

You did drop us in the middle of some dirty wars

I know lucifer but still I give my love to you

Please understand my actions stem from what these judges do

In '98 when blackbird died yeah I cried

In '99 again I cried after Raymond died

For several years shed so many tears they dried up

Pain manifested to anger that keeps me fired up

Yeah I smile and crack jokes when I'm with the homies

But when alone I'm in a zone where few would wanna know me

I'm murder prone every time I step outside my home

Law enforcement I despise make 'em taste their own

Bad medicine they force on citizens everyday

Kidnap 'em, lock 'em in a cage watch 'em beg and pray

Humiliate 'em strip 'em butt naked bend 'em over

Make 'em cough 4 times for the fallen soldiers

Use their billy club to break their bones how they do us

Then shock 'em with their tazer gun while restrained in cuffs

Pepper spray their eyes blind and their throat 'til they can't breathe

Then let 'em die slowly knowin' that they can't leave

To finish up use their own gun to shoot 'em in the gut

Releasin' acid from their stomach that'll eat 'em up

And to anybody questionin' my way of thinkin'

Obviously haven't smelled the death these demonz reepin'



[Chorus:]

Everyday and every night of my life!

My sanity is standin' on the edge lookin' over the ledge

While mama prays I fight to keep my mind right!

Sleepin' with my lead under my head quick to hop out the bed

And point and aim at every noise in the night!

Pacin' my house 'til sunlight in my armored vest, boxers, socks and cortez

Been infected by life's poisonous bite!

Since I left a man spread, full of lead, fled and left him for dead
