Chalk Lines

The feeling ain't the same
Niggaz bang Before they hit em up Don't care about the gang
They aired em' out
Before they hit em' up
Chalk lines in the street
Got me feeling something sinister
The devils on ma shoulders
Got me lookin for a minister
The streets don't love nobody
It's not a place where we learn to grow
Yet we still stay here
We were raised here
So that's all we know

Another body dropped on the block
Yeah it was case closed
Ma other homie got up out the box
Still in his state clothes
I hit the homie shank like what it do
Nigga let's hit a lick
He hopped up out the window
From fuckingJamie
He had the pistol grip
Pradera in the 80s was like watts
Wasn't no busta shit or sucka shit
Occurring on the watch
I appreciate Mary
She let me stay up at her spot
She had three sons that repped the set
You know we had that shit hot
But these days

The feeling ain't the same
Niggaz bang Before they hit em up Don't care about the gang
They aired em' out
Before they hit em' up
Chalk lines in the street
Got me feeling something sinister
The devils on ma shoulders
Got me lookin for a minister
The streets don't love nobody
It's not a place where we learn to grow
Yet we still stay here
We were raised here
So that's all we know

Everybody that i know
Either got shot or did a state bid
Poverty and drugs infest the places
That we played as kids
Every couple blocks is a gang
And all the lil homies
Out here shooting tryna make a name
It's a war where ain't no tears
Cuz everybody hide the pain
That's how you know
That slavery it still exist
They just took away the chains
Destroy ya family name
And they hand a nigga a chain
The price of fortune and fame
That's why it really ain't the same

The feeling ain't the same
Niggaz bang Before they hit em up Don't care about the gang
They aired em' out
Before they hit em' up
Chalk lines in the street
Got me feeling something sinister
The devils on ma shoulders
Got me lookin for a minister
The streets don't love nobody
It's not a place where we learn to grow
Yet we still stay here
We were raised here
So that's all we know
