Take one to the eye
Take one to the face
Bitch, get ready to die
and be born again
Bullets from the sky
Showerin' over me
And I ain' scared to fly
No controlling me

And what's that smell of iron?
Where it coming from?
Can't tell if it's
rain, blood or a gun
Or maybe it's my cryin
Cuz I'm cryin blood

Seen way too much too fast
Seen death
up close
Seen it and wonder why
I ain a ghost
Cuz God was on the other side with a pistol closed
In his big ass hand
I thought  "this is it, fasho"
He told me it's all my fault and I gotta go
So he pulled the trigger, eyes closed

Fuck that bitch ass hoe
cuz he sent me back to die slow
Woke up inna pool of blood
Then I finally understood
This is how it's been since birth
This is fucking hell on earth
Talking smart to God
Cuz his ass a fucking fraud
Wish He put me in the dirt
Livin with all this fucking hurt

Now, cryin I see fire
Probably cuz He really fired
He send bullets from the sky
Tryna extinguish me
Wanna leave me as a sigh
But I guess we'll see
Cuz I'll

Take one to the mouth
Take one to the face
One for the fuckin pain and
one for the fuckin taste
