122nd (feat. Olawale)

Sometimes it gets uncomfortable Tell me what they done for you Deep and I'm in these numbers I was flipping up all these ones and 2s Visions of my death I don't know if it'll be coming soon Been watching all my steps Never know who you gon run into Even when I'm stressed feeling blessed with this passion Souljahs with automatics they know that it's automatic if they chirp me up Even when we grounded we bounded to feel turbulence Looking all around us the town has been something murderous To hang with it homie wanna bang Lil homie Maxed out caught em slippin' on the gang and it gets funky It ain't funny when yo cuddy in that casket Lil youngins dumping we ain't talk trash cans Eastside I am All of us just surviving And I really want to see that day ain't got to look in the window behind us Got to be reppin' it all of my islands dako nga bisyas And them Rz are yatted on me many people dying silent With that last man mentality in actuality its how we brought up Generational scars dishonored by many honors All in the name GOD we a product of that drama More and more sentences after they put them commas and they lock us up I'm in the hood and I fought for us Another one of us misunderstood cuz he tossed it up Lil younging stumpy for the drug he want to shoot it up his veins Getting harder to maintain all the pain when just a couple feet away Another mother begs and she prays for her son that passed away Another cop shot em in broad day after that that block won't be the same When just across the street he couldn't get up Another vigil from the pistol In our section 122nd I was counting all seconds over stripes Took a risk for that come up and I almost lost my life and I paid the price for it And I could have died but I got my life and I can't deny that we often All got to face all of the pain talking to me audibly off of the beat And possibly we all got to be with that feeling of coming up broke My city been covered in tattoos my city been covered in dope Giving some hope and I'm out in Mill Park it's lit even tho it's still dark Hard to be looking out past those steel bars and seen how art could heal hearts And that ain't even the ill part These circles brought me healing I built a life on a street that coulda of killed me Real Circles and phases I've been To all the places again and again I seen broken roads in every direction but I'm still here I'm glad that I made it I've been Waiting and waiting for this all to end and I'm holding on Sometimes you got to look back I've stayed and prayed for days just to cultivate this strength To remember and honor my ancestors and I continue on this path I got nothing loose but you And its true won't you step into my shoes you only knew what we been through back in the day I broke the rules I was a fool but now I choose to be that proof I'm in the booth These seconds go by I've been I've been on both sides of this road To make the news I really had to take them losses Posted at this stop I'm staying cautious
