Can'T Fight Fate

This story all started one fateful day
My homie named Zack was just tryin to get paid
Ran into a friend asked him, "want to get high?"
From then he was hooked on his very first line
Money started coming in, new whips new fits
He ran the dope game like he had a pair of new kicks
Things were going good better than he imagined
But it never lasts, that's when things start crashin
He got a little weight from a mutual acquaintance
Little did he know this dude was packin for his payments
Zack got burnt on a deal that went south
He's runnin out of options tryin to pay back the amount
Now he's on the fly left town for a while
Came back ballin thinkin he was back in style
Thought he was free and clear, that's what he was hopin
That round licked off, he should've slept with ONE EYE OPEN!
You...never know...when death is gonna come your way
You...could be a young man...or you could be old and grey
Can't...fight fate...wanna play this game there's a price to pay
Sleep with ONE EYE OPEN...cause for some tomorrow never came
Mother named Davina had a son named Joseph
He's her pride and joy but lived a life not spoken
Only 13 with his whole life to live
Made a few mistakes but nothing they couldn't forgive
He started on his hustle, he was well respected
The game always brings pain when you least expect it
Started skipping school, grades fell, friends lost
The life of the party comes at a great cost
Then he met a girl, who made him try to change
But she was no good, she started playing games
Joe feeds off the lies, and brings the lies home
He became a stranger his family didn't know
Thought he was invincible until she broke his heart
He slipped into the shadows, his whole life fell apart
His mom found him hanging from the ceiling, neck broken
She's wishin that she would've slept with ONE EYE OPEN!
You...never know...when death is gonna come your way
You...could be a young man...or you could be old and grey
Can't...fight fate...wanna play this game there's a price to pay
Sleep with ONE EYE OPEN...cause for some tomorrow never came
