Da Burbz

Take it back to where it started, moved on to the block
Seen the struggle and the hustle student with the watch
I ain't never tripping I ain't never skipping
I was always doing what was written, I ain't never living
More observant than adornment
A thorn on which I coasted
Yelling timber every time a man got stolen
Laughs it off the next day
At the box where we stop hit props and we play
Hit stop I was running through the gate
With a vision more ambition than any of these lames
My lane paved used to hit straight A's
Now I don't stand a chance better dig my grave
Plus the kids is so agitated
They fight all they life so aggravating
Y after Y Zs sleep till I'm flying
The hood still hood and our brothers still dying

Smoking on the corner that's your older brother
Said he'd never amount to nothin' that's your older cousin
They told me I could make a dollar if I started hustlin'
But momma taught me better, end of discussion
We working for the fam that's my hero father
Gonna keep this house together knowing that I love you momma
They told me I could be whatever if ya spirit trust it
But momma taught me better, end of discussion

Trapped in institutions had to use my intuition
Fluid with the movement I was Cruising on the mission
Seen the boys drop out, bros fall out
Money make a man to a snake cop out
Home was always negative really felt the negligence
Should've called the exorcist that would be the end of it
But the demon grew like shoots
Spread hate through they minds like two times two
Still I broke through the grain really flew by you
Cause I know I can can fam Moulin Rouge
Go bananas like gorillas ain't nobody realer
They said no to drugs so now I'm a drug dealer
Watch the mans scrap now I'm itching for a fixing
Seen the kids rap ever since I been spitting
Stuck inside limbo, feeling like a dream
Like everything I seen's now everything I be

Smoking on the corner that's your older brother
Said he'd never amount to nothin' that's your older cousin
They told me I could make a dollar if I started hustlin'
But momma taught me better, end of discussion
We working for the fam that's my hero father
Gonna keep this house together knowing that I love you momma
They told me I could be whatever if ya spirit trust it
But momma taught me better, end of discussion

Smoking on the corner that's your older brother
Said he'd never amount to nothin' that's your older cousin
They told me I could make a dollar if I started hustlin'
But momma taught me better, end of discussion
We working for the fam that's my hero father
Gonna keep this house together knowing that I love you momma
They told me I could be whatever if ya spirit trust it
But momma taught me better, end of discussion

Let this muse be a tribute
To whom we lose and whom we've lost
Breathe my tunes from within you
Solitude amongst the stars
Rest In Peace
Polly the don

I came up out Da 'Burbz
I came up out Da 'Burbz
I came up out Da 'Burbz
I came up out Da 'Burbz

We was those kids that yo moms
Said stay away from past dark
You know we hopping yo fences
You know hotwire your Benz's
Stay strapped with a bb
This citadel ain't that easy
My life a crisis believe me
I will not cry but don't cheese me
