Our babies are having babies
Cant keep their legs closed
They open their mind to a different life
Open their eyes to a different light
LED lights flash before their eyes
Little T.V. screens you cant get away from their hands. Finger tips click, click,  clicking away
The only time i can feel my heartbeat is when there is red, white, and blue flashing behind our ride
I hear my heart beat thump, thump,  thumping in my ears
My Hands are shaking
My voice is trembling as i try to open my mouth to tell you how i truly feel but you look at me with those blue eyes that remind me of the sky with a hint of green like the leaves on the trees we sat under when i told myself im in love with you
I feel a waterfall form in my eyes as you ask "whats the problem, officer?"
Hand on his gun
The only time i feel safe is when your hands are around my neck
Telling myself its okay
Telling myself i'll be okay
Is like lying to your mother
Im only 17 but my eyes are more wide open than your mouth is when you get the wrong phone for your birthday
Some kids dont get birthdays
Their last birthday was their first in heaven
You say you want in the game
But this game aint no game
Good Kids are getting shot over the game
You say you want in the game but all it does is make you look lame, stay in your lane
Snapchatting your 4th blunt "so lit tonight"
Snapchatting your last memory "90mph" music so loud you cant hear your thoughts
Eyes so low you cant see the truth
It lies right underneath your nose
Look up and youll find a better light
With a better life
And maybe a wife
This ice aint all that
This life aint all that
