The World Would Keep On - Fred The Godson

If I should die today

My soul would blind your way

The world would keep on

It’s so hard to find a way

In this life there’s barely faith

And if I should die today

Nothing would change, nothing would change

It’s crazy 'cause life’s supposed to be precious

And it’s supposed to be a long time

But when death comes, it just occurs

It will be like nothing happened in the hour

I’m from the block, baby, put back feel with birth control pills

If government don’t put us to work, we gonna kill

They don’t care, the buildings they got the cameras on them

My man still in the lobby with two hammers on him

The hood drowns, money’s water, get your shoes damp

Everybody who walks with food stamps

Sometimes it hurts the soul

I’ve seen a nigga come 200 deep

And leave in a hearse alone

New technology, grandma tryina work her phone

Grandpa in the liquor store, it’s looking like a nursing home

Elderly everywhere, did we ever care?

They don’t got money because they spent forever there

I’m in the front, my sister braiding my hair

I got shooters on every corner, fuck with me if you dare

It’s murder every day in case you’re unaware

'Cause the people that’s representing us was never here

If I should die today

My soul would blind your way

The world would keep on

It’s so hard to find a way

In this life there’s barely faith

And if I should die today

Nothing would change, nothing would change

I try to stay fly, joins the concretes

Life’s a battle ground, we all on the concrete

Falls and arms reach, we all street

High school, we weren’t stupid

And them hoes should be called screech

It’s the ghetto, we lost from the get go

Slain just to get love 'cause things we gotta get, though

Like our life in order, like for the wife and daughter

It’s all a toss so despite the quality

The other night they shot a cop

So this will probably ignite the slaughter

It’s hunting season in the hood, you can’t fight the order

We have dreams of college and how with home comings

But can’t afford it, how we home running?

I wish that I could break the shackles, attack and how we long something

I put my feelings in my lyrics like the song command

If I was gone I know the world will keep on

So I’m a keep on, keep on

If I should die today

My soul would blind your way

The world would keep on

It’s so hard to find a way

In this life there’s barely faith

And if I should die today

Nothing would change, nothing would change
