I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy
This cannot be happening
First fight, came home with a bloody nose
Second fight same day pops like
"Don't step back in this yard if you don't take control
Or deal with me, you need make it known
I ain't raise a punk, you better hold your own"
I walked back slow and snuffed Rahmel from behind
Closed my eyes, still swinging hard fire welled up inside
Power bitter to the taste, swollen my face felt fried
Winded tell me got this, learned to walk with my pride
Must earn your right to survive
Rite of passage, what was foreign grew familiar with time
Too young to process particulars, my views unrefined
Innocent mind before neighbors was truly ready to die
Dyno BMX spoke chrome cycle kept spinning
Acts of violence I'm a victim and a wide-eyed witness block
Yellow tape ballistics, South Jamaica 88 fever murder rate statistic
Growing older higher stakes been normalized by repetition
Fall in line late for the wake, Henny, pour it to me straight
Moms reminded me I'm different from these miseducated henchman
Murdering my brother not gangsta but mostly desperate acts of submission
Throw your hands up in the air, strays whistled from a distance
Scratched serial standard issued
All night prayer, tears, pass moms a tissue
(Bring my son back)
Dumb out, stupid nice
Waiting for Superman, classroom full of Kryptonite
Juvenile hell the trife life
Ossie Davis been dead, now they hand you a gun and knife said
Do the thing right, banana in the tailpipe
Eyes squeezed tight, squeezing off
On a-alikes with the ArmaLite, born yesterday
But hey, they was up all night looking for niggas
Only found theyselves pulling on triggers
Spot Enemy outside his home, let fly like Predator drone
Hell to pay, like predatory loan, rule of the bone
Did the Regents off the dome, studied the streets
Prepaid the phone hand a lil' nigga the heat
You don't really want to know how it go like ground beef
