We was down bad
Yeah, ayo
It's The Leader in this, yeah
We was down bad in the Bronx
You talk get popped in the Bronx
We got deep roots in the Bronx
Bad film reel, had to get out the shot or get sealed in the Bronx
Had my stomach in a knot
Were we gonna make it or not?
Raised by my mom and my aunts
Look the wrong way you get lined with the chalk, yeah never look soft
We was down bad in The Bronx
We was down bad, bad pops
Bad dad and the streets mad
Bullets in a mag blast like that like that for some bagged cash
Living like that? Like that's sad
Bodies turning into hashtags
I'll never pass that
Knees buckled, AT-AT
Watch them leak the at fast if you brush past
Bust a gut with a gat no mask
Gotta mask the accent
We was down bad in the Bronx
Esteem dropping down like the stocks
We was down bad in the Bronx
Steer near clear from the opps
Never get in trouble with the law
That's what the family was taught
That's what my mother had taught
Remember bad days with the sky real gray?
Don't remember at all?
Ima give family a call
We was down bad in the Bronx
You talk get popped in the Bronx
We got deep roots in the Bronx
Bad film reel, had to get out the shot or get sealed in the Bronx
Had my stomach in a knot
Were we gonna make it or not?
Raised by my mom and my aunts
Look the wrong way you get lined with the chalk, yeah never look soft
Look at my past
Vermins infested our pad
Yeah I thought you'd never ask
Ooh, and now my parents broke their pact
But Dad didn't share the bag, that's
Ooh, that type of thing make you go mad
Wedding band covered a scab
Dopamine is just a fad
I'll call happiness a cab and push my pencil to a pad
All my siblings have been feeling this feeling I'm feeling
I'm feeling this is stringent our family, religion
Existence been written, admit it
Oh, who are we kidding?
Are these sins forgiven? You tripping
You livid this prison is killing the vibe
Take a step back and just look at my stripes
Pillow to the face be blocking out fights
Walls real thin like my skin am I right?
We was down bad in the Bronx
You talk get popped in the Bronx
We got deep roots in the Bronx
Bad film reel, had to get out the shot or get sealed in the Bronx
Had my stomach in a knot
Were we gonna make it or not?
Raised by my mom and my aunts
Look the wrong way you get lined with the chalk, yeah never look soft
Never looking back
I just chase the bag
No amount of cash could remedy that
Sanity on hold
Can I really last?
Sail is on my mast
I be spitting facts
Feeling butterflies
Time it really flies
Just like all the lies
Just like all the crimes
Holding memories, tryna let them die
Wanting them erased
But they in my face
We was down bad in the Bronx
You talk get popped in the Bronx
We got deep roots in the Bronx
Bad film reel, had to get out the shot or get sealed in the Bronx
Had my stomach in a knot
Were we gonna make it or not?
Raised by my mom and my aunts
Look the wrong way you get lined with the chalk, yeah never look soft
Two things
People out here be two-faced
Way more akin to a deep fake
And my mama raising 3 getting no raise
Wanna play the bad guy? No way
Bite on my flow get a toothache
My flow so fresh call it Colgate
Life is a movie get the blu-ray
No hits no plays
Oh yeah, what's happening?
Raised by the church in Manhattan
To be perfect you need practice
Yeah he the captain
Yeah you a captive
Call him Stalli he a savage
I be spitting all this acid
Whip the stick cause you was sassing
Bruise the skin up with a passion
Wipe the blood up with a napkin
Grinding tryna make this cabbage
School's like "what happened?"
Your father was absent
You was freezing on your mattress
Starving up in your own palace
I don't want you in a casket
That's why I'm rough if you asking
Call it tough love in my faction
Said life is a movie and here the closed captions
My whole childhood has been tilted on axis
So much on the line
So much on my mind
Family LCI
This is do or die
We was down bad in the Bronx
You talk get popped in the Bronx
We got deep roots in the Bronx
Bad film reel, had to get out the shot or get sealed in the Bronx
Had my stomach in a knot
Were we gonna make it or not?
Raised by my mom and my aunts
Look the wrong way you get lined with the chalk, yeah never look soft
