I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
Peace to the god pour out a little liquor
'Shame on a nigga' I heard the reaper done came to get ya
So I done copped a fifth of vodka and in your honor
I've grown this fetish for loose ladies and baby mommas
Some say it's bad karma what you do man it come back on ya
Music got us up off them crack corners
Now I'ma swallow this whole bottle for ol' dirty
Damn it's hurts me I hate it when brother's go early
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
Word to my son he gon' remember you rubbing on a statue
In his lab that resemble you and what it meant to wu
Us forming like a family you just blew
You was the chess piece on the board that made us look true
Watching your pen swish you love frying king fish
You the pearl in the ocean I'm up on the land pissed
Now you moving more prestigious me hitting this **
I know it's real guess I slept with the black jesus
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I became weak when I heard that his body expired
It was hard for me to believe my brother retired
Suddenly the clock stopped and the room started spinning
How can he walk off the field during the first inning
I cried like a baby on the way to his place of death
Hate not being there the minutes before he left
Now I'm in the booth ten feet from where he lay dead
I think about him on this song and what he might've said
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
When I first heard the word I needed air to clear my head
I know you didn't say what I thought you said my brother's dead
You crazy another dirty prank to get the family cranked
Y'all niggas shouldn't play like that I know how you feel
Lord but it's real and I still can't believe
And my heart still grieves the loss there's no pretending
Ason unique loved wine and fine women
We singing on tour ooh baby we like it raw
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I've gone through life pretending
That time will change the ending
I popped a bottle on your born day god
Tried hard not to cry I still can't hide the scar
And I still ask why to god analyzing your form
As I stood there beside your mom
And I share the blame 'cuz you was calling for help kid
Should've could've would've had the time I was selfish
I carry on your struggle each day it really hurts me
I really miss you russell hope you forgive me dirty
