Gunnison Avenue

Aye yo
This is a story about
How I lived my past
You wanna follow along?
Of course you can!
Come with me
And I'll get you there

Way back in 2016, I was thirteen
Kids were never hungry when I was thirsty
This song's dedicated to the kid that never heard me
For the kid that's always getting fucked on by the clergy
"The Marshall Mathers LP" blaring in my headphones
Walkin' down Gunnison Avenue while I head home
Rockin' on the couch? Yeah, motherfucker dead wrong
Headed back to the school without a fuckin' cell phone
Broke as fuck, and I ain't even complain
I just did my shit all over and over again
Until I battled motherfuckers, this shit ain't the same
Making rappers blow the bitch up when I go for fame
This is not a game and I ain't even playin'
I've been fighting for my life since my pen hit the page
I've been spittin' rhymes since mumble rap was a thang
Till they started poppin' Percocets, Vicodins, Bang!

Walkin' on my street, Gunnison Avenue brick-road
Memories made, everyday for when you get home
I'ma reminisce on this life for when it's time
('Cause you'll never know when it flashes before your eyes)
Walkin' on my street, Gunnison Avenue brick-road
Memories made, everyday for when you get home
I'ma reminisce on this life for when it's time
('Cause you'll never know when it flashes before your eyes)

Way back in 2013, I was ten
Back-to-back eviction notices on the hinge
"Non-payment of rent", there was a lot of them
Safe to say, my father ran from the cops again
'91 Lexus with the windows smashed up
Everybody on my block is getting smacked up
Lost my motherfuckin' mom, it got me jacked up
TV dinners at the Dollar Tree ain't racked up
Fuckin' foods stamps never comin' by fast
On the sixth of every month, they're always right back
Walk to school every morning, always like that
Getting bullied everyday, I couldn't fight back
It was just a simple day in my time
Brought it back to normalcy everytime I rhymed
Wrote the fuckin' metaphors in between the lines
Writing stories that'll be remembered in the mind

Walkin' on my street, Gunnison Avenue brick-road
Memories made, everyday for when you get home
I'ma reminisce on this life for when it's time
('Cause you'll never know when it flashes before your eyes)
Walkin' on my street, Gunnison Avenue brick-road
Memories made, everyday for when you get home
I'ma reminisce on this life for when it's time
('Cause you'll never know when it flashes before your eyes)
Walkin' on my street, Gunnison Avenue brick-road
Memories made, everyday for when you get home
I'ma reminisce on this life for when it's time
('Cause you'll never know when it flashes before your eyes)
Walkin' on my street, Gunnison Avenue brick-road
Memories made, everyday for when you get home
I'ma reminisce on this life for when it's time
('Cause you'll never know when it flashes before your eyes)
