John Legend – Die Under the Moon

John Legend – Die Under the Moon Lyrics

Artist: John Legend
Song: Die Under the Moon

He put his life in words, shine brighter than jewels
To the point when you feeling stronger than Clase Azul
You n***as softer than pillows
Deep in the trenches where n***as whip it like Willow

Turn your wife to a widow, uh
‘Cause money tend to turn a real n***a to weirdos
My sh*t harder than dildos
I’m in dream mode, one-shot kill mode

‘Fore this rap sh*t it was hard hats and steel toes
But I still rose
I’m at dinner up in Melrose (Hey)
With two bad b*t*hes rubbin’ on my earlobes

We probably never rub elbows
Hе ain’t in my salary cap
N***as say they gettin’ money, but I’m callin’ it cap (Hеy, hey)
Oh, look what we done

We took a bad situation and made it great
He got twenty years, it was drug-related
And he took the plea deal
That goes to show just how much the system hate us

How come nobody congratulates us?
We will make it out the slums (Uh)
And we come from duckin’ hunnid round drums (Uh)
And the school system treat us like we dumb (Hey)

That’s why I’m the hallway
Eighth grade, I was trappin’ in the hallway (Uh yeah)
Yeah, I was just in puberty
I was tryna rule my whole community (Mm-hmm)

And do this rap sh*t for you and me (You and me)
Damn, I was on the “get the whole clique rich” (Clique)
You was on that “get rich quick sh*t” (Quick)
Hangin’ with them n***as I ain’t mix with (Mix)

Playin’ both sides, be realistic (Uh)
How you not gon’ get hit with that heat stick, n***a?
Yeah, yeah
And this sh*t deeper than words

Sh*t deeper than words
Deeper than just rap
Covered in ice you’ll think I sponsored a meth lab
Uppin’ the price, on the private jet, I got jet lag

I spit the sh*t that gon’ hit your heart like a chest pass
And I got love for the streets, but I couldn’t stay there (I couldn’t stay)
I told him wherever he play, he gotta lay there (He gotta lay)
I got some n***as dead and gone, I took a whole ‘nother path

Came home from my first mission, took a blood bath
Ran up a ticket like a citation
I’m probably quiet ’cause I’m just checkin’ n***as’ vibrations
Came back to buss it down with them project babies

Back when we was robbin’ everybody but the candy lady
I remember beefin’ with my cousin, that’s my nana baby (f**k ’em)
Sh*t crazy
Anybody cross you (f**k ’em)

No family support so I was feelin’ like a foster
Nobody talk about the wins and the losses no more
They only love you when you up, but it’s too late for that
Killed my lil’ brother, just be patient, you gon’ pay for that

I heard they tryna catch me on the phone to build a case with that
They caught him slippin’, now he on that sh*t that blood would lace with that
Die under the moon
(And when we die, and when we die)

Die under the moon
(I hope that we die under the moon)
If we die
Die under the moon

(Under the clouds, under the stars, dyin’)
And when we die, die under the moon (Die under, with a smile)
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Die under the moon

Thank God for the ups and downs
Thank God that you came around
Thank God that I’m here right now (Here right now)
Thank God for the highs and lows

Thank God for “Oh-no-nos”
Closed doors and the dead-end roads
Thank God, thank God, thank God, thank God
Thank God, thank God, thank God, thank God

Deeper than words, they take me to church
Bruises and burns, they make me stronger
Make me stronger, make me stronger
(Stronger, ooh, woo)

Woo, ooh-ooh, ooh
Thank God, thank God, thank God, thank God
Thank God, thank God, thank God, thank God
Thank God

Yeah, yeah
