Fuck intros We'll waste no time Life's short any moment can die So you see all the goals through my eyes Don't be surprised Got these hos all over your guy Ready to slide in my pockets I ain't trying clock-in 40 years with no option Sell high or your body's in the auction Job to job Never pay you close to what their stock is Old need your body looking young like Milonakis We're polar opposite Cut from a different cloth In fact, I wasn't cut at all Imagine, what the fuck you on All I need is just a chance don't need to put me on Hungry I'm a fucking starve Before I give it up at all Damn Lord knows I weren't an angel But how could I When I was born around the danger? Surrounded by the strangers Nevermind who was aiming Didn't do me favors Not on any one occasion Nigga I'm the pride of the southside There ain't been nobody repping out where I ride We was living inside a different kind of high-rise In the heights where you couldn't get your mind right I'ma set the foundation I came from a place that would have your palms shaking Had your mom aching Once they found you down on the pavement Deep in the housing where you get your section ate and There's no food When you got the hungriest Dudes lurking round clutching tools where the money is The jewels and honeys is Proven for a hunnid years Abundant tears when you lose someone you love and cared For Well aware when your poor Of course Have you questioning all the things you were here for When life went and declared war Fighting just to live more Heightened sense of flight cause in the night know what they're here for

10am On the west nigga life's great Maybe catch a couple waves it's a nice day Sliding on the grey sweats and a white t I've always tried to play it safe in the right ways Manifest change Going through the motions just Trying stay sane in a world full of pain Hardened by the mortars going off in my brain That had taught me all components of the ghetto where I came From the cradle to the grave The womb to the tomb As a Young nigga you were taught plenty rules Like you Don't speak on it Nothing in your place you just keep going If somebody ever ask you ain't seen no one And you don't know nothing either If anything You spoke on achievements like a young bul who's dreaming I was holding onto heaters Bundled work up on the speakers While bumping Philly freezer Which was wrong but I ain't see it Or ain't give a fuck This was nigga stuff I couldn't get enough As little young kids discussed Hoods that weren't lit enough Hood2Hood flicks How they don't compare to us Looking on it I don't think about how I'm here enough Have Graveyards bad shit all up in my past When I think about what's passed Lot of shit that get me mad That's expected When you think about those neglections Weapons Shit you see through reflections Goes both ways so it's feeding my perceptions They trying make plays Throwing bullets for receptions In their defense there's no deflections Full court blitz for the pressure I'm only trying block all their efforts But we're all wreckless Restless subjected to messes Guess this the best is the message That we used to get in an essence So my goal next To build blocks like tetris Check this I only moved to the west just to make moves Keep cool Pen struggles in a sweet groove Deep tunes That forever slay deep wounds Stay true To my words whenever things fuel Heat brews where the greens grew niggas found out Careful with their moves Fire cannons to your glass house You only get one chance until your finally get assed out Trying right but always left into the bad route

This grind's never ending, intertwined with ambitions Listen I'm trying make it out of my position Where 95 percent either die or go to prison Behind our own decisions But it's hiding something different We get high for a reason And it's cause we lack assistance No role models on our side, they was grippin When shit didn't add up, they always had extensions Caused division As they multiplied in the system Look Let me talk about the shit I hate Joking in my face like the shit's a game When not a single story fake I'll tell you this so you learn to choose a different fate So what I hate is when you hear my cries Then turn away and you die Cause you turned to selling pies in the day High as hell, niggas brought nines let em bake This not to celebrate Or a call to be wake Internal conflicts Heart pacing through apartments As bullets race where your mom lives And it's worse cause you feel like an accomplice Making money but it's weighing on your conscious It's not enough Paranoid often As the ones you love the most Walk around monsters And they gotta eat Then worst of all starving They wanna get you But would put em in a coffin All involved targets Treated like we garbage Cops come nah Man they usually unresponsive Over time I learned natural instincts Fuck niggas, most of em actually against me Plotting and they're in sync But dancing with the devil so my active levels increase Vigilant of trouble cause it's packaged with the envy Living in the bubble where the positives get emptied Don't wanna see you winning Fuck em Certain convos I must acknowledge those Regardless if they're gone Cause they got me going Don't get me wrong cause they did me all kind of raw Stabbed me in the back Then I had to counteract the fall But I probably never would've made a change To my circumstances Without some messages that stayed Savored every gem Take em to my grave Cause I'd probably be under if those moments never came How insane I'm amazed how negatives get explained Like the subtle negligence that's been going up for display Ain't a way that the weapons eventually raised Once they turn against you and that love turn into rage It's not the same once those trust issues Hold your brain And any words issued Get picked away and no longer with you Hold the pain and it's following you Those responses that you gave is just a day as a trauma victim So anybody with a problem Get rid of em I'm more bothered by these niggas calling who can't get a clue Why I'm feeling blue I tell at all it's ridicule I keep it bottled and can't let it change my physical Apologetic nah This is not an interview I'm at the pinnacle of my stress And what my vision drew Cause I still found success with all I'm getting through Bullets ripping through the walls while ducking in the living room Part of why I'll never give a fuck when y'all critical This is literal All the times when was visual Heart aching seeing babies turn a menace Born in the 80s Turn their year into a sentence Taking care of business Cause mommy couldn't afford the cable bill or a dentist Shit will turn you independent Once you put the two together and you learn it's all forensic There's a method to the madness And it's one where all forgetting Fuck them niggas

If you've been starving with no way to solve the problem In a way that is proper Do you mask up, get to robbing Mainly since it's all way too common That's regardless of the trauma that you'd cause someone's momma Son Or daughter That's the worst kind of drama You take the chance while knowing that there's karma When the next time they saw ya put a hammer to ya noggin What's the cost of a dollar?

They say we growing as we age And learn from what we do But some things will never change it's just the way we gotta move Zombies on the street out here begging me for food See their brain depleting too but that's the game you know the rules Trying ease the pain ignore the things it make em do Child support payments Fuck it when they're due Need it in their veins sell their playstation too Once it's clouding up their brain Exchange for anything it's coo None of this is news And really it's contagious When you grow up broke But see the paper think they made it Never thinking for a second about the shit that happen later If not from the zombies then it's probably from a neighbor If not from the cops then it's probably from a hater Plotting on a robbery Profit on you later Plotting they can profit on you later Once you start acknowledging it's hardened in your nature Long as there's money to make Zombies outside walking hungry today (yeaaah) Get paper Stack money Fuck haters Stay hungry Desperation make you do some shit you never thought New age, serving customers the fentanyl Get your money up Any and whatever cost Poker face Niggas hide intentions just to beat the odds Shit is sacrilegious and we know the cause Certain acts that get committed Take away your heart That's for life and you own the scars It's getting hard trying find your way in life when you know you're wrong Zombies in the night you can hear em crawl Roaming through the street you sleeping light because you know they'll call Police screaming in the distance Fiends on the corner barely clinging to existence Needing more attention Long as the green keep on extending Nothing more it's never ending I won't glorify intention Nevermind the horrors left unmentioned This the life there's no pretending
