| Look out the window
|
| See my? |
| struggling
|
| Dudes thugging him
|
| On the boulevard hustling
|
| Selling dope for the fuck of it
|
| And loving it
|
| Snitching on the same niggas
|
| That they got in trouble with
|
| Treadmill lifestyle
|
| The cycle never ends
|
| Spirit of my friends
|
| Blowing in the wind
|
| Got a couple relatives
|
| In the pen
|
| Never gonna see them again
|
| So I don’t write letters
|
| But I encourage their kids
|
| To try to be better
|
| Go to school and get good grades
|
| During semesters
|
| Looking back
|
| On my old neighbourhood
|
| Things done changed from Logan Avenue
|
| To Ravenwood
|
| My high school sweetie
|
| Is smoking crack now
|
| A few of my homies
|
| Is shooting smack now
|
| Some vengeance and tourniquets
|
| In the background
|
| Treadmill lifestyle
|
| The cycle never ends
|
| Treadmill lifestyle the cycle never ends
|
| Spirit of my friends blowing in the wind
|
| Treadmill lifestyle the cycle never ends
|
| Spirit of my friends blowing in the wind
|
| Treadmill lifestyle the cycle never ends
|
| Spirit of my friends blowing in the wind
|
| Treadmill lifestyle the cycle never ends
|
| Spirit of my friends blowing in the wind
|
| Shit that little nigga copped a brand new burner
|
| Heard them shots was burping
|
| The moment was talking murder cycle of the
|
| Treadmill lifestyle the never ending turner
|
| Revolving doors below the earth
|
| Behind the walls you know your worth
|
| But still be lost
|
| Still be on them avenues
|
| Pounding the frost off the Timberland
|
| Daddy was a thug you resembled him
|
| Intention to carry the cross
|
| Nah you carrying tradition
|
| To be the son of a gangster
|
| Come with the perception
|
| You fill up his shoes
|
| Foot steps in direction
|
| Aim with perfection
|
| Stick up kids
|
| Section .80 out for dinner plates
|
| Barely pressing against the spine
|
| Take a glimpse in the mind
|
| Ain’t no blimps in your world man
|
| Sure sign
|
| Niggas gone do whatever but cha ching
|
| Rob, kill, steal, poverty, real
|
| You know what I mean
|
| Treadmill lifestyle the cycle never ends
|
| Spirit of my friends blowing in the wind
|
| Treadmill lifestyle the cycle never ends
|
| Spirit of my friends blowing in the wind
|
| Treadmill lifestyle the cycle never ends
|
| Spirit of my friends blowing in the wind
|
| Treadmill lifestyle the cycle never ends
|
| Spirit of my friends blowing in the wind
|
| When you raised on the north side of Youngstown
|
| Never put our guns down
|
| In the spot where the drugs found
|
| Crack vials on the ground
|
| Niggas tripping wild
|
| Prostitutes on the prowl for another mile
|
| Brenda’s got another baby
|
| And another mouth to feed
|
| Can’t succeed in the streets
|
| Can barely eat making $ 200 a week
|
| Kids need shoes on their feet
|
| It’s that deep
|
| Children eating cold cuts
|
| For the whole month
|
| With the Ramen noodles
|
| Kool-Aid and toast strudels
|
| That’s all you get
|
| That’s all you got
|
| You want more so you resort
|
| To hitting the block
|
| Flipping the box
|
| Licking them shots
|
| Killing sprees, robberies
|
| Non-stop
|
| Treadmill lifestyle
|
| The cycle never ends
|
| Trapped in poverty
|
| Still praying for a Benz
|
| Treadmill lifestyle the cycle never ends
|
| Spirit of my friends blowing in the wind
|
| Treadmill lifestyle the cycle never ends
|
| Spirit of my friends blowing in the wind
|
| Treadmill lifestyle the cycle never ends
|
| Spirit of my friends blowing in the wind
