Wishing
How bout I introduce you to a girl yeah she 5
Everything going on right before her little eyes
And she can't rationalize yet but she got a surprise
Cause her life it's finna take her on a roller coaster ride
Since a youngin she happened to be moving back and forth
Round every block in her city, on a corner there's a store
Can't get no pop, scared to get popped
Or see somebody getting robbed
Dome meet glock
Body shaking they drop
Here come cops
It's like every time she close her eyes
And say a prayer for her guys
Then she look up
And see they get no love, it's tough
Or how she sit up on that phone
Thinking when you coming home?
They got him locked up, talking bout thug that ain't even us
And when you fail, you go and double up
Just our luck
Paint his picture, got him stuck
Flip the script on us
She dodging bullets
Skipping curses that come from lust
Children born and childhood trauma hasn't met death
All while she wishing that her peoples don't get close yet
She wept and wiped her nose
Putting her books in her bags
She got class so she stepped
And she just hoping she pass
So she can grab bigger bags
Then grab her family and don't look back
She wishin on a dream
We wishin on a dream
We wishin on a dream
We wishin on a dream
I know I ain't the only one that's feeling alone
Can't seem to find warmth in my heart when I'm thinking of home
My folks told me to be grateful
And to keep my eyes open
Ain't no lacking, I stay packing
With this head on my shoulder
Lyrically focused
Cause I know all of my people they dream
And believe that one day home ain't the streets want big things want to eat
Grind til restraints they fall
All the odds they stay beat
And we gon elevate
Shout out to the city DC
Where we be legends
Big chairs to match our passion
For this grinding, it do happen
Say the word, we let em have it
Cause the struggle be breeding bosses
Though times we do take our losses
True Ls be the level ups
And sometimes they do cost us
But whatever though
Imma come w hella flow
To tell the story bout my people
Shit you never known
Lines don't look like newspapers
Words on telephones
Just a bunch of backspaces
Just a bunch of typos
Correcting your wrongs
For telling us we can't get what we want
Be bout a cause
If my life ain't serve a purpose
Or If my people wasn't worth it
Why the fuck you can't leave us alone?
We gon keep on
Yeah we gon keep on
We wishin on a dream
We wishin on a dream
We wishin on a dream
Everything going on right before her little eyes
And she can't rationalize yet but she got a surprise
Cause her life it's finna take her on a roller coaster ride
Since a youngin she happened to be moving back and forth
Round every block in her city, on a corner there's a store
Can't get no pop, scared to get popped
