Kensington Blues

Yo, streets full’a nodders, brain’s on pause,

Guy face-down like he broke some laws.

Pharma’s countin’ cash, I’m countin’ steps,

Tryna dodge bodies and them dirty reps.

[Chorus]

Kensington blues – same sh*t, new day,

Corner boy twitchin’, tryna score and play.

Dreams hit the floor like a cheap-ass high,

We the walkin’ dead, don’t even try.

[Verse 2]

Cops roll by, don’t blink, don’t care,

Dude OD’d right there, still breathin' air.

Big suits watchin’ from a glass-ass tower,

Sellin’ us death with a smile and power.

[Chorus]

Kensington blues – no plan, no fix,

Bag in my sock, flame to the Bic.

This city don’t cry, just coughs up haze,

Ain’t no future in these zombie days.

[Verse 2]

Cops roll by, don’t blink, don’t care,

Dude OD’d right there, still breathin' air.

Big suits watchin’ from a glass-ass tower,

Sellin’ us death with a smile and power.

[Chorus]

Kensington blues – no plan, no fix,

Bag in my sock, flame to the Bic.

This city don’t cry, just coughs up haze,

Ain’t no future in these zombie days.

[Outro]

Ayo, this ain’t life – just waitin’ to fall,

Philly forgot us, that’s all.
