LIFE Saba

[Verse 1]
I got angels running 'way, I got demons hunting me
I know Pac was 25, I know Jesus 33
I tell Death to keep a distance, I think he obsessed with me
I say, "God, that's a woman," I know she would die for me
They want a barcode on my wrist (Barcode on my wrist)
To auction off the kids
That don't fit their description of a utopia (Black)
Like a problem won't exist if I just don't exist
If I grew up without a single pot to piss in—pardon me for venting
Congress got the nerve to call theyself religious
Rich just getting richer, we just tryna live our life

[Chorus]
Mama mixed the vodka with the Sprite
They killed my cousin with a pocketknife
While my uncle on the phone
He was gone for more than half my life
He got out a year, and then he died
I was honor roll, talking to my father on the phone
Left the city when I was just four
None of them'll get along
Mama begging him for winter coats
I was chilling with my nigga Spook, now they tryna take his—

[Post-Chorus]
Life don't mean shit to a nigga that ain't never had shit, yuh
Light don't mean lit in the dark, fight don't mean fists, ooh
Eyes don't see (Eyes don't see)
Eyes don't see, ice don't freeze
Light don't leave (Light don't leave)
I don't mean, lie to me
