Crabs in a barrel

I never watch discovery ID
I really Grew up with killers beside me
The hood is too lively
When sharks in the water you gotta move wisely
Or in a grave 1 foot deeper than five feet
Prayer obsolete some things out of god's reach
These the kind of lessons the schools do not teach
Not in the lease
And no politician speech can impact the violence in streets
Shit really ain't a game no helmets pads or cleats
And even turning vegan won't get you past the beef
And the grief Even if you take some jewels when the pastor's preach
Take it with a grain of salt keep a strap at least
Rest in peace they got nip in his own hood
Trying to put the block on bad for your own good
Love and war is all fare
This shit is warfare you could get taken out you out as quick as drone would

In a world so shallow niggas dying for apparel
You gotta learn how to swim
Cause the water get shallow Opportunity window narrow
They'll try to pull you down like crabs in a barrel
They gonna judge you like simon cowell
This game of life is a everyday battle
And when the gap start to narrow
They'll try to pull you down like crabs in a barrel

So many passed off misunderstandings
cause niggas moving under handed on the strength of drunken ramblings
Ain't no fucking standards
Men of respect move in unbecoming manners on the gram
Flashing hammer's like it something glamorous
Rolling dice with life gambling
Like they tryna make it sound romantic posturing with loud antics
Larger than life personas glorifying outlandish Personifications
In a way that sound candid
And ya buy the shit caught up in the hype
Cause a nigga say he shooting it don't mean that he right
Cause he rolling with the gang don't mean he bout that life
It took six nine trial to figure out that strike
They say what's done in dark eventually come to light
In the hood ain't no rules when they say on sight
So you gotta keep eyes open either day or night
These young boys really trying earn stripes but such is life
