Ray J grew up on the east side only wheels a bike or bus ride

Daddies favorite drink crown royal glass of shots

Ssoon there′s 5 pops bodies drop daddy gone and Ray J lostOn how to be a man school teaching he won't be anything

Won′t have college plans a hood fail tell kids oh well

If they don't make it get killed lost in street thrills

Friends learn to grip a pistol learns too now official

Rappers he looks up to say if ya mad

Find & shoot get the money get the girls

Get the buicks get the world listens to their teachings

Though they do what they please these kids practice what they preaching

Got no man to lead got no dad to teach so he's growing to be what these rappers say he needs

Forget college forget work gang banging just in first grade already see a brother sprayed

Now he knows pain just a breath away from being in his own grave

Another breath another night another death Mama′s cry

Another thrill can′t satisfy

In the end Where am I?

Just a breath then I'm gone

Just a breath then I′m gone

Just a breath then I'm gone

Then I′m gone, then I'm gone

Ray J tried to make it out the hood But the only dudes that do

NBA or selling good good gets paper like the videos beats up haters too

And at night under covers with another lova cause they say sex makes ya a man like no otha

Dropped outta school to be a rapper how he shows his anger

At his mama at his papa so he raps usin the finger hoping

To wrap that finger round a trigga blow to shreds the

Man who never was a father figure blaming this ghost for all the pain not let go

Not havin a family feelin he′ll never know and won't show it

In corner store plugged in to music get a pack of cigs dude rushes in

Screaming for money the clerk won't give him before Ray J can stop it a shot sounds

Jumps they fall to the ground gets the gun pulls back the mask now its pointed at the man

Cause the shooter′s Ray J′s dad

Another breath another night another death Mama's cry

Another thrill can′t satisfy

In the end Where am I?

Just a breath then I'm gone

Just a breath then I′m gone

Just a breath then I'm gone

Then I′m gone, then I'm gone

Could've shot him there but he only stared could′ve stopped the tears more fall every year

Daddy been in for ten since the incident asks jimmy to visit finally does can′t live with it

So much pain to let go so many things dad doesn't know left this brokenness at home

Had to be the man alone now face to face with the ghost who he had needed most

His daddy leans in close says what hadn′t been heard before

I'm sorry Ray J then tears start streaming

Ray lets out what he′s feelin years alone with dad leavin trying to find life's meaning

For all he had been believing Ray J′s yelling chest heaving

Barely breathing from the pain never ceasing

Tears streaming too freedoms coming through walls cracking loose healin takes time to move

A wife a couple kids dads free again not from prison but life he was living

Not just a breathe but forever breathing

Another breath another night another death Mama's cry

Another thrill can't satisfy

In the end Where am I?

Just a breath then I′m gone

Just a breath then I′m gone

Just a breath then I'm gone

Then I′m gone, then I'm gone

Another breath another night another death Mama′s cry

Another thrill can't satisfy

In the end Where am I?

Just a breath then I′m gone

Just a breath then I'm gone

Just a breath then I'm gone

Then I′m gone, then I′m gone
