Lyrics
chorus
…get mad say i act savage
jus tryna leave my kids living lavish
anything you got, im tryna have it
...reasons, to my madness
verse 1
locked up for days, I miss the blazin
chopped all my braids, I miss my waves and
strapped on that thang, soon as im awake, and
look out the window, to the smell of bacon
50 kids in the street, 10'll make it
Bebe’s kids missing teeth , no braces
brand new j's on the feet, new laces
… sh** never ceases to amaze me
this is what i see, it aint made up
I could fill up fifty sheets of paper
and that’s just what I see, with A look
what i see could probably fill up a book
f*** what you think, carol's no angel
white girl, buying white girl, major
daddy probably thinks she far from a crook
flips out he sees her car in our hood
sold it to us for some rock, and stardom
welcome to starblock, no starbucks
this is our block, you live far from
1 example of where we get the cars from
verse 2
lose at craps, backs broken over fire hydrants
lose the act, we know who got juice and who aint got it
lose your stash, there ain't nothin you can do about it
bull sh** , better hope it ain't you that got it
pockt check, better hope it ain't you that find it
im a class act, but i ain't stupid partner
when you hand it back, ain't no use to hiding
ima handle that, i grew up with violence
hear the gat bust first, then you hear the sirens
hit the back, flush flush, know the house is quiet
streets covered in blood in front of public housing
ain't want to do that that, but you ain't gun take from around us
why we stealing from each other, the rate's astounding
they say they tryna help us, but I doubt it
spotlight the situation with 1000 eyes, n
wish I could dress this up like 1000 island
elsewhere cop’ll show up with 1000 rifles
but this the hood, it takes 1000 hours
hear their hearts stop beating w/ profounding silence
when our blocks are bleeding, my town is crying
verse 3
sometimes i wonder about the towers, turn around, sit down
and wonder how come breast milk never turn sour
sometimes i wonder why we talk, sometimes i wonder
if you pull the wings of a fly do you call it a walk
sometimes i had to snuggle for heat, other times
i had to snuggle my heat, just to go to sleep
sometimes i have these crazy dreams, don't want to stay asleep
sometimes i pull these crazy things just to stay on my feet
look through my eyes, see what i've seen
had to close your eyes didn't you, see what i mean
half of my soul crys, half of my soul sings
if i thought i could fly, i'd try to grow some wings
I stay on the grind, but keep my toes clean
Money stay on my mind, cuz I chose this dream
Im a goon, im a giant, im a beast
Im insane, im a lion, im a king
outro
wake up in a cold sweat, that’s a wet dream
i ain't old yet, still zest green
telephoned freedom, and i let it ring
now i'm told laughter is the best medicine
