Ain't an accident I flow Heard Bruce Lee, HOV, like water I'll go Steady and it's potent, purified from them locusts While I couldn't be a joker cuz I'm tapped to my emotions Taped to my subconscious, submerged like them conches Shell of myself when Scorpios overthinking Anxiously manifesting predicaments Not spending time focusing on the accomplishments Settling out of fear, promised dollars for none Coming from where we from, slaved hours for funds Never picked up a gun, well at least held one Mom dated a cop, to them days I was young I even pulled the trigger just to see if it pop Good on dude at the time taking them bullets out How could I not stroke the cat, quite curious in fact Wondered what's behind the walls when it all fades to black Dark times feeling brail Connecting few dots to see if life's real Highlight reels of innocents getting killed Slams close to home like Dominique Wilkins Will power, plus intent, and enough skill Can get you anything, use them shits like a gift Sleeping on them people whilst knowing what's going on My advice to you, keep your bank and your family strong RIP to Steve RIP to Trayvon RIP Breonna RIP to Mike Brown List goes on as the world gets cruel Simply trying to age, live within our rules Too much to lose, so many unknowns Don't care if every stone turned like a scone Folk fearing FOMO frankly I can't condone it This life shit, everything, everywhere, all the time shit Settling out of fear, promised dollars for none Coming from where we from, slaved hours for funds Never picked up a gun, well at least held one Mom dated a cop, to them days I was young I even pulled the trigger just to see if it pop Good on dude at the time taking them bullets out How could I not stroke the cat, quite curious in fact Wondered what's behind the walls when it all fades to black My oh my, it's a third 15 to go Tom Brady versus yours Greatness what we witness from a city claimed ain't no niggas But if you see what's gentrified shit you'll see the difference I'm from M A double T A P A N Where them Jews resided till them Haitians came in Left from the bridge passed them parallel churches Patty spot bussing right across from the gas station There used to be a mural where that bus crashed a building It's blocked off now see they're changing our viewing Want to control all the pro-choice in this life All because the population low outnumbered whites Know how the shit go to hell with the law Big middle fingers up still gripping on my balls To the ladies from the windows all the way to the walls Real niggas is rare and forever hold you down Mattapan, Roxbury, Roslindale, Blue Hill No matter where you from hold it down because you grew here Dorchester, Hyde Park, Cambridge, Brockton Represent for all the ones that got lost in
