| That’s what I’m talking about
|
| This is what I’m talk-- This is hip-hop
|
| Locksmith in the buildling
|
| I told y’all
|
| I got you stuck off the realness
|
| I spit nothing but street
|
| Step to this, you’re good as gone, word is bond
|
| 'Cause I don’t need gimmicks
|
| I got you stuck off the realness
|
| You better ask somebody
|
| Word is bond, I go on and on
|
| Locksmith
|
| Look
|
| Young fella, umbrella
|
| Locked in his closet so the rain comes hella
|
| Harsher than expected, neglected, he’s got a chipped shoulder
|
| His big brother is locked up and he’s not sober
|
| Started smoking at age ten, sipping at thirteen
|
| It’s hard to admit, but he’s a hurt teen
|
| He’s hurting but he buries it in aggression
|
| He started rapping, that’s the natural progression
|
| It’s more about the melodies and less about the lyrics
|
| The content, drug, money, and bitches
|
| The flow never switches, the beat never falters
|
| He’s got a passion like the preacher at the altar
|
| Stealing from his mother, she barely pays the rent
|
| And the church wanna take ten percent?
|
| Community division, and now he’s faced with decisions, yeah
|
| From the womb to the tomb
|
| Cradle to the grave, we sing along and pray
|
| From the street to the pavement
|
| Block to the burrow, nothing is that thorough
|
| From the womb to the tomb
|
| Cradle to the grave, we sing along and pray
|
| From block to the burrow, ain’t nothing now thorough
|
| Now he’s running the street with his feet planted firmly
|
| On the pavement, every day in engagement
|
| With a rival turf, he’s searching to find a lick
|
| Steady dropping songs, hoping one can stick
|
| Hoping one’s a hit so he’s flooding his SoundCloud
|
| Purple drank and dank sprinkles his sound now
|
| Straight from the medicine bottle
|
| 'Cause he’s living with his girl so they constantly squabble
|
| From the trap to the lab, then back to the trap
|
| He’s hustling, but he tells everybody he raps
|
| And he only sells pills so he can pay the bills
|
| Plus he’s dealing with all of his family’s ills
|
| And it’s still not enough where he can afford pampers
|
| And pay for studio time, what’s the answer
|
| And his little girl is growing, not to mention
|
| So he’s faced with decision, yeah
|
| From the womb to the tomb
|
| Cradle to the grave, we sing along and pray
|
| From the street to the pavement
|
| Block to the burrow, nothing is that thorough
|
| From the womb to the tomb
|
| Cradle to the grave, we sing along and pray
|
| From block to the burrow, ain’t nothing now thorough
|
| I got you stuck off the realness
|
| I spit nothing but street
|
| The time is now for me to shine
|
| 'Cause I don’t need gimmicks
|
| I got you stuck off the realness
|
| Step to this, you’re good as gone, word is bond
|
| So hear me out one time, you gots to be yourself
|
| Word is bond, I go on and on |
