My America |
Malt liquor and syringes on the pavement |
Oh goddam, I’m down on my luck |
You see my clothes don’t fit like they used to |
My mama don’t call like she used to |
I’m a shadow of the person that I used to be, yeah |
Oh Lord, I’m tired (Crazy, yeah) |
These streets got me wired, it’s crazy (Oh yeah) |
Yeah |
I said I woke up in a state of confusion |
In the search for absolution |
Palm grippin' the Absolute |
It’s sad but true |
Missed call from my kinfolk |
Said my auntie ain’t make it |
Malt liquor and syringes on the pavement |
Oh goddam, I’m down on my luck |
Can you send one up for me? |
See my clothes don’t fit like they used to |
My mama don’t call like she used to |
I’m a shadow of the person that I used to be |
See, oh Lord, I’m tired (Yeah) |
These streets got me wired (Exhausted nigga) |
Yeah |
Them cold bodies fit up under them rugs |
It’s a circus out this bitch, amazin' how we jugglin' drugs |
Frontin' for hoes, the cards work good in them clubs |
Shots go off, time to leave, nigga, lets breeze |
Young bitch shot in the head think it came from the trees |
In that direction, she layin' there with my complexion |
To the death I’ma give my son protection |
I’m tired though, he teachin' me some shit that I ain’t know |
Shit get wrinkled, I show him exactly where the iron go |
And they only stick around when you buzzin' |
That’s the problem with The LOX |
I remember one time when we wasn’t (D-Block) |
I’m hip hop like the Juice crew |
But my mama don’t call like she used to |
Bunch of phony niggas, hard to see who’s who |
Just parties you ain’t around when the bills due |
All for the Gram, hope social media kills you nigga |
Yeah, I said I woke up in a state of confusion |
In the search for absolution |
Palm grippin' the Absolute |
It’s sad but true |
Missed call from my kinfolk |
Said my auntie ain’t make it |
Malt liquor and syringes on the pavement |
Oh goddam, I’m down on my luck |
Can you send one up for me? |
See my clothes don’t fit like they used to |
My mama don’t call like she used to |
I’m a shadow of the person that I used to be |
See, oh Lord, I’m tired (Yes, I am) |
These streets got me wired |
Let’s go |
Oh Lord, why I lose so much when I’m a winner? |
Demons done got my soul, made me a sinner |
Clothes don’t fit no more, I’m gettin' thinner |
It could be the middle of summer, I’m feelin' winter |
My heart gettin' colder than the freezer is |
See my babygirl gone, but I need a kid |
Why you think I take a shot and get weed again? |
Only thing we got is God, gotta believe in him |
Couple homies locked up, don’t know what freedom is |
If the Lord come now, I gotta leave with him |
Oh God, I’m tired, so lift the trauma up |
Hold my son and my wife and call my mama up |
I get high to not cry and frown a lot |
I done cried enough tears to drown the block |
All I know is keep faith in the man above |
I feel pain so I spread the joy spread the love (Yeah) |
I said I woke up in a state of confusion |
In the search for absolution |
Palm grippin' the Absolute |
It’s sad but true |
Missed call from my kinfolk |
Said my auntie ain’t make it |
Malt liquor and syringes on the pavement |
Oh goddam, I’m down on my luck |
Can you send one up for me? |
See my clothes don’t fit like they used to (Na) |
My mama don’t call like she used to (Ah na) |
I’m a shadow of the person that I used to be |
See, oh Lord, I’m tired (I'm tired Lord) |
These streets got me wired (Real talk) |
Uh, yeah, yo |
I’m tired of hearin' about what I didn’t do |
Yes, I am goin' home, 'cause I got shit to do |
Things ain’t been all good, nah, but I’m gettin' through |
I’m givin' you real talk, I ain’t bullshittin' you |
Life is a bitch, you could tell her when you see her |
I just want Josh and Jamere to meet Nia |
Lord knows, I just want the air to be clear |
When I think about it that’s the only time I shed a tear |
Mama Love voice through the phone, I hear joy |
Come and get a plate and say a prayer for the boy |
Know that I don’t eat meat and I don’t care for the soy |
Long as she ain’t in pain then I can’t get annoyed |
We all need to repent |
Really I’m just fatigued from the cement |
My defense is always on prevent |
There’s a reason a lot of people ain’t used to me |
'Cause I’m a shadow of the person that I used to be |
Yeah |
Said I woke up in a state of confusion |
In the search for absolution |
Palm grippin' the Absolute |
It’s sad but true |
Missed call from my kinfolk |
Said my auntie ain’t make it |
Malt liquor and syringes on the pavement |
Oh goddam, I’m down on my luck |
Can you send one up for me? |
See my clothes don’t fit like they used to |
My mama don’t call like she used to |
I’m a shadow of the person that I used to be |
See, oh Lord, I’m tired |
These streets got me wired |
I said I woke up in a state of confusion |
In the search for absolution |
Palm grippin' the absolute |
It’s sad but true |
Missed call from my kinfolk |
Said my auntie ain’t make it |
Malt liquor and syringes on the pavement |
Oh goddam, I’m down on my luck |
Could you send one up for me? |
