Rockin beats in a Chevy
Drive the streets and its heavy
Ghetto torn like confetti
One hundred people shot this weekend in Chicago already
Took the bottle from Freddy
Told his girl Betty she ain't win the lotto
She said he
Told her buy some Powerball mega millions I guess he
Felt his odds was better game playing
Than gang banging
Decisions are blessings
Or volatile
At least he's living which means forgiveness is possible
Seeing windows smashed out
Doors boarded, keep out
Signs
My mind rewinds back to childhood routes
The same streets but more dignity than debris
I banged beats outta addys that are now into pieces
I sang things about parks
That's just growing tall weeds and
Memories of what used to be
Growing old stories rarely told about the ghosts
That stay posted in the depths of my minds eye
Time flies
Yeah
I'm driving in a 68 Nova
L78 with a classic motor
375 hp roller
Mil town soldier
Yeah

Yo Make a left onto third
Used to be Davis and Son corner store on the curb
Now its owned by some Indians
Plexiglass when I'm served
Next door is my mommas biz
Usually undisturbed
Across the street from us
Hustlers shot up the barber shop
Bullet holes fill the windows
Man, I kid you not
This my childhood block
My momma just got a street sign named after her
The Fear factor's worse
Some of these young cats don't believe that elders come first
In fact
Some think that elders are at blame for their hurt
And that
Their predicament ain't sheltered
A curse
No matter how perverse it ain't easily reversed
What used to thrive is no longer alive
A desert
And bursts of violence break out
Unrehearsed
I'm in silence but I'm fully
Immersed
In the current state of where I used play
From birth
Time flies
Yeah I'm driving in a 68 Nova
L78 with a classic motor
375 hp roller
Mil town soldier
Yeah
I'm driving in a 68 Nova

Uh Sometimes I think about investing
Putting money back, to give a blessing
To the adolescents
If I was richer with more connections
In essence
I would be make the cover of Essence
For my progressive financial expressions
Meanwhile
I already got a scholarship
Gave millions of dollars to kids with knowledge
And no politics
On the dollar tip
I still feel so inadequate
Though I'm above average
Who wouldn't want to be a Maverick
A Warren Buffet
An Elon Musk with
A musket of cabbage to give
If we collected our resources
And gathered it in
Instead of spending
Most of our money with them
Not condescending
It's just my cunning revenge
For all the centuries
Of French and Brits
Running a blitz on Africans
From Haiti to South Americans
We'd be laughing again
Riding around
New riches found
We packing it in
Get in
Yeah I'm driving in a 68 Nova
L78 with a classic motor
375 hp roller
Mil town soldier
Yeah
I'm driving in a 68 Nova
L78 with a classic motor
