[Intro]
You know, times is hard right now, man
Every time I look around somebody on the ground
Somebody done got plowed down
Somebody done got cut away mayne
Somebody done got—
Man, they doin' 'em dirty now, mayne, you understand me?
Look, man, uh

[Chorus]
Every time I look around this editorial (Editorial)
The paper reads: another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Every time I look around, candlelight visual (Candlelight visual)
The paper reads: another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Uh, this the sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
This is the sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)

[Verse 1]
The highs and lows, the ups and downs of life
Funeral homes and gravesites
Bloody white sheets in the middle of the street
Shot the wrong person now the killer can't sleep
Gave it to him with the drum right in front of his son
Shot him in the head, face, chest, neck and lungs
You never really know when your time is up
That's why we always gotta stay prayed up
When I see a bum I put some money in his cup
Even though the bum probably richer than my butt
That's good karma, generous and nice
Little things like that can change your life
Never lose hope, mayne, keep the faith
Good things comes to those who wait
Let it all out, mayne, shed a tear
Spark one, mayne, pour out some beer
[Chorus]
Every time I look around this editorial (Editorial)
The paper reads: another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Every time I look around, candlelight visual (Candlelight visual)
The paper reads: another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Uh, this the sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
This is the sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)

[Verse 2]
It's a new era like the hat, please believe
People doing things that you wouldn't believe
They try to blame it on rap, they say that we mislead
The reason why the kids do pills and weed
Overdose, faint, pass out and die
Then their parents cry and ask questions why
"How come I couldn't see it coming? I am such a loser
I never go in they room or check they computer"
Trickin' they parents like Ferris Bueller
Cuttin' class, skippin' school and their tutor
Fuck college — man, I'm rappin'
I ain't playin' sports — man, I'm trappin'
Street knowledge — bitch, I'm mackin'
Deep pockets — ho, I'm stackin'
Uh, as the world turns, the days of our lives
The bold and the beautiful
The young and the restless droppin' like flies
[Chorus]
Every time I look around this editorial (Editorial)
The paper reads: another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Every time I look around, candlelight visual (Candlelight visual)
The paper reads: another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Uh, this the sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
This is the sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)

[Verse 3]
All money ain't good money (Good money)
It's cold out here, even when it's sunny (Even when it's sunny)
This atmosphere, n***as hella hungry (N***as hella hungry)
You'll be outta here if you're stuntin' clumsy (Stuntin' clumsy)
Can't freeze up just like a deer (Like a deer)
Good cot, OT, smell fear (Smell fear)
During hunting season, every day of the year (Day of the year)
Always know when cowards near (Cowards near)
Gotta be aware, especially out here
Where they switch the gears and backdoor they peers
Talk behind your back, wait 'til the coast is clear
Just like a little batch, let 'em get in your ear (Get in your ear)
Ain't nobody stickin' to the script, you know (You know)
'Cause dudes act like they ain't dudes no more (Dudes no more)
That's why I pack an extra clip, no fool, though (No fool, though)
'Cause every other day I'm at a funeral (Funeral)
[Chorus]
Every time I look around this editorial (Editorial)
The paper reads: another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Every time I look around, candlelight visual (Candlelight visual)
The paper reads: another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Uh, this the sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
This is the sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)

[Bridge]
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul He keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray to the Lord my soul He take
(Soul He take, soul He take)
I pray to the Lord my soul He take
(My soul He take, my soul He take)
I pray to the Lord my soul He take
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul He keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray to the Lord my soul He take
(Soul He take, soul He take)
I pray to the Lord my soul He take
(My soul He take, my soul He take)
I pray to the Lord my soul He take

[Chorus]
Every time I look around this editorial (Editorial)
The paper reads: another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Every time I look around, candlelight visual (Candlelight visual)
The paper reads: another sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
Uh, this the sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
This is the sidewalk memorial (Sidewalk memorial)
