Central

Riding down central
Burn the bridges I can't hold
What glitters isn't always gold
Cause I don't feel at home

I'm like what y'all wanna doo like that nigga scooby
How we got a tight division but we move loosely
Lil baby let me drive the boat
Got a broken raft but lately I been tryna stay afloat
Days feeling like the clockwork
Thought my phone was blowing up it's just them fraud alerts
Speak the truth you get the water works
I'll pull up to her crib to ask her pops how his daughter works
And all my brothers was reckless
Got no room for regret when all the feelings neglected
Lately the feelings relentless
I felt the pain in my plexus
Ain't got no money for spending
No remedy for the mending

Uh, Okay okay okay I know you all gon' see me man
My brother bout to change the game but you ain't hear him yet
But I can't do that much without a anxious weary head
And I keep moving on my own till I'm deceased and dead
My father laid me down to sleep when I ain't had no bed
My demons always on the prowl but I ain't fearing them
And you can count it out on hand I ain't got much to give
I spend a lot of time alone it's hard to heal my friends
We lost it all on covid but it's not the fucking end
I dropped the ball a couple times but I had made amends
Too many homies lost they life's that's too much to pretend
I close my eyes at night but long after the sun has set uh

Coming from the 4th quarter
Jumpshot downtown at the ward
Can't keep my fists in order
Making long life's shorter, make ya kiss the mortar
Walk the border, watch ya jaw drop in horror
Pray one day I don't see the wrong side of the 45
Archer shot apple off my head in an orchard
He can't see my eyes, all in my posture I know it
Getting claustrophobic on the wrong corner
We all street performers

Riding down central
Burn the bridges I can't hold
What glitters isn't always gold
Cause I don't feel at home
Riding down central
Burn the bridges I can't hold
What glitters isn't always gold
Cause I don't feel at home
Just take it slow
