Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What am I fighting for, who am I running from?
Where are my faces, everything's accelerated
We grew up way too fast, some of my family became my past
Trippin' over thoughts as I try to run back
[Verse 2]
Leaving for good this generation trap that they call my hood
Liquor store, pawn shop, sell my goods
Fades to be caught when you're on my street
Everybody scramblin' to make ends meet
Van Ness is where my **** lost their peace
Shotgun, shotgun, where's my heat?
Everyone run, tryna find their dreams, to find me
[Verse 3]
City where the sun don't shine, oh
America, she shines her light on
Everybody but my skin tone, somehow they still demonize us
When we built the ground you stand on, free labor we had to pay for
Freed slaves, they had to share crop, share croppin' turned to prisons
Now all our fathers missin', granny she had to raise us
All those misguided children, defund our education
Take away recreation, nobody here to save us
In high school I had no books, in college I had no cash
Music's my only virtue, these lyrics saved my ass
[Verse 4]
Leaving for good this generation trap that they call my hood
Liquor store, pawn shop, sell my goods
Fades to be caught when you're on my street
Everybody scramblin' to make ends meet
Van Ness is where my **** lost their peace
Shotgun, shotgun, where's my heat?
Everyone run, tryna find their dreams, to find me
[Verse 5]
Leaving for good this generation trap that they call my hood
Liquor store, pawn shop, sell my goods
Fades to be caught when you're on my street
Everybody scramblin' to make ends meet
Van Ness is where my **** lost their peace
Shotgun, shotgun, where's my heat?
Everyone run, tryna find their dreams, to find me
[Verse 6]
City where the sun don't shine, oh
America, she shines her light on
Everybody but my skin tone
