Apartments

Back in apartment, back in apartment
Back in apartment, back in apartment, back in apartment

Back in the darkness, move real cautious
I won't sell my soul for a mil
Back in apartments, fucked up grades
Fucked up fades, had to fight just to chill
Fifth grade, everything changed that year
One big step from a floor to a crib
Big bro left from middle school that year
I ain't had him, had to fight my fears

Mama was scared, ain't know what to do with me
Like it was all fun aye
Stuck right at Killian, ain't have that tool with me
You know where I'm from, what's good
Back in apartment, 'least I had rank,
Just a young nigga innocent as they came
Moving to Princeton, everything changed
Then I met Carl at the time, main mane

I ain't know shit, I had to hold my heart
Just some young niggas out way after dark
We ain't go home, no lights at the park
Went to the store and we stole out the cart
Then I met Flemmie, he helped with a lot
Putting the shit down in class, I would jot
Became my brother, right now we still locked
Some people change, none of that in your heart
Mmm, blend in the hood
Everything changed, I would bring this shit
Back if I could
That ain't to me
Move with my auntie when we left Princeton way back in '13
Down the street to Naranja, Retro was born and now he on cameras

As a single child, as a, you know
Growing up with my mom I needed all the help that I could get
My book bag is on
I have my items
I'm ready to go
I just wanna hang out

Back in the darkness, move real cautious
I won't sell my soul for a mil
Back in apartments, fucked up grades
Fucked up fades, had to fight just to chill
Fifth grade, everything changed that year
One big step from a floor to a crib
Big bro left for middle school that year
I ain't had him, had to fight my fears

Mama was scared, ain't know what to do with me
(Like it was all fun, aye)
Stuck right at Killian, ain't have that tool with me
(You know where I'm from, what's good)
My brother, my twin, they thinking it's two of me (it was just one)
Until we dead, killing this shit pass out eulogies

It was one of us, not two of us
Walking round like a screw was bussed
Type of nigga lift it up and bust
Never loved, never learned to trust
Even when they turn the music up
All they hear is just a silent hush
Reason why they always showing up
Ain't no nigga really beating us
Nappy headed, bare feet
Susan kids, cut the streets up

I learned I had to look at the opposite of what I saw before me
And really create an environment for myself
That I was able to utilize to operate
Now you can only imagine how difficult that can be

Back in the darkness, move real cautious,
Back by the lake, behind the adult center
Back in apartments, fucked up grades,
Back in apartment, back in apartment
Back in the darkness, move real cautious
Back by the lake behind the adult center
Back in apartments, fucked up grades,
Back in the darkness, move real cautious
