| I’m surrounded by the down and out
|
| People and places, where do we go now?
|
| I’m surrounded by the down and out
|
| People and places, where do we go now?
|
| A block away from hell
|
| Couple blocks away from where the dwell
|
| Summers feel so sick sizzling
|
| Hope folks listening, inform your child-e-ren
|
| Ain’t no, skipping on bricks
|
| Winos sipping on licks, fine hoes living on tricks
|
| Mama knows best, better mind yo' business
|
| Where the five-Os ain’t shit, clacking shackles on your wrist
|
| Try to resist and it’s whoop whoop whoop whoop up in this bitch
|
| Jump in a fits, cut through alleyway, attempt to dip
|
| 'Cause they equipped to hit you with the burner and the murder
|
| In a place you never been, a victim never heard of
|
| Cycle will never end, everybody desert ya
|
| What happened to your friends, no pity party for ya
|
| Surrounded by the down and out, finally you finding out
|
| The people and places, the evil the replaces
|
| The smile on their faces turned upside down
|
| I’m surrounded by the down and out
|
| People and places, where do we go now?
|
| I’m surrounded by the down and out
|
| People and places, where do we go now?
|
| I feel surrounded by the silence
|
| Standing in the middle of the crowd with the mindless
|
| Tryna keep my thought from getting loud while the blindest
|
| Always tryna lead, my type of beast just depending on what you feed me
|
| Rebelle that revolution fresher than virgins douching
|
| Taught that once you get fresh air is how you spot pollution
|
| I been executing all of the exorcisms
|
| With my lyricism competing with cynicism
|
| I get it I mean I guess hear them say they stressed
|
| Swear that word ain’t nothing but a pharmacy connect
|
| Bunch of folks taking legal dope crumble in a sec
|
| Ain’t got the Kevin Heart to come and say it with they chest, yes
|
| Not a pacifist, I’m a passionist
|
| Going out for all of my beliefs while I’m rolling leaf
|
| Tryna get away from all the grief while you suck your teeth
|
| Need the green to circle like a wreath I’m in disbelief
|
| I’m surrounded by the down and out
|
| People and places, where do we go now?
|
| I’m surrounded by the down and out
|
| People and places, where do we go now?
|
| My circumference like sickle cell
|
| Stop in my flow in this living hell
|
| See me no getting out
|
| Surrounded by sickening doubt
|
| The hate is so swarming
|
| It ain’t normal, the shit ain’t worth it
|
| Real heads screaming false worship, come one now
|
| That domino effect and we can’t fall down
|
| The Devil’s all around, huh, he waiting for us
|
| Slipping’s what he wanted to hold a false promise
|
| Only take a match to burn down a whole forest
|
| So get it right, one strike could take out all of us
|
| Ignite the followers, leaders, fireproof
|
| We perspire in the booth to help you try to find the truth
|
| Ain’t an easy job but it’s something that we gotta do
|
| Someone lie to you, left 'em dumbfounded
|
| Confused, head pounding, hard to stay grounded
|
| Tears of a lonely man and still feel surrounded
|
| I’m surrounded by the down and out
|
| People and places, where do we go now?
|
