Shots

All I ever lived was the ghetto
No play time for kids in the meadows
No sunshine caution tape was the yellow
Only hot bars were shots from the metals
These girls play with strings like Gepetto
Cuz these guys just lie never settle
Hope you play their part of the Cello
Use their notes some pretty wise fellows
Ship across my way to the church
All these movers pushing the work
Hide a band and pills if you lurk
Inside abandon priest outta work
Patriarch just sit reminisce
See if there's been change here since
At that moment seen his kids
Dice game dice game take your bids
Life if what you make of it
Gave us crap we embrace our shit
Tried to give us Tootsie Pops
We got rich while we hit those licks
Slow us down with crooked cops
We take aim make the world remix
Prayed that we would lose our tops
All caps on we shift to nix

One for the shot I want out the slums
Two for the shots injecting the lungs
Three for the shots dudes curry with guns
Four for the shots girls wanna have fun
Five for the shots I finally got some
Six for the shots of zeros in funds
Ain't no way I forget seven that's the stairway to Heaven

Shut up and dribble I was shocked
How you gon say pass the rock
When you love when you make those shots
But when they alley oop they're blocked
No don't know bout politics
Learned bout history as kids
New Gen go head Google this
How long till Jim Crow law ends
300 years of the struggle
Only knee deep in the puddles
When we kneel guess we're in trouble
So now we stand and make them crumble
Cancel Culture has them mumbled
I'ts as if they had a muzzle
Member when they used those muzzles
Guess karma playing shotgun shuffle
Turn it turn it down a lil bit
Love this life it has a twist
Went from showing off our wrists
Now we proudly raise our fists
Yeah it's true girls love to twerk
Banging Riri work work work
Now on TV work work work
Tired of being hurt hurt hurt
Now we cash in checks
Focus on more than just debt
Profit campaigns in affect
Better our lives withing depth
In the midst of all the drama
Still have support from Obama
Nice to know you heed our trauma
When it's time to ride you're gonna

One for the shot I want out the slums
Two for the shots injecting the lungs
Three for the shots dudes curry with guns
Four for the shots girls wanna have fun
Five for the shots I finally got some
Six for the shots of zeros in funds
Ain't no way I forget seven that's the stairway to Heaven

Drop stock and deposit in the streets where we can grow
We rocket like comets orbit round this pain we flow
Keep heart in a locket spread it round to who you know
Drop stock and deposit in the streets where we can grow
We rocket like comets orbit round this pain we flow
Keep heart in a locket spread it round to who you know
Drop stock and deposit in the streets where we can grow
We rocket like comets orbit round this pain we flow

One for the shot I want out the slums
Two for the shots injecting the lungs
Three for the shots dudes curry with guns
Four for the shots girls wanna have fun
Five for the shots I finally got some
Six for the shots of zeros in funds
Ain't no way I forget seven that's the stairway to Heaven
