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
