alone alone why the hell you tell me your alone
i probably shouldn't of came here on my own
Why the hell you dancing on your own your own
alone
Verse 1
i showed up, now, what you want from me
i put myself inside this car and i didnt turn the key
i cant deny i didnt try and give it all of me
and honestly it hard to be and option and a probably
possibly we can make it work i put it all down
my pride i hold inside but I want fight until its all sound
hit me back or ima drive until this off ground
you try to call me up but its a little late to talk now
we taking caution often we staying lost in the problems that come from trauma that didnt really involve us
and its hard to even blossom or grow when all our talking is never really resolving or leading us to a common understanding
God dammit why f%^$^ you aint standing by myside
you got to be living lie,
i never knew why, you coulda been mine
but im the one that walked the plank
hard to be grown and face away when both our kids just want to play
Chorus
alone alone why the hell you tell me your alone
i probably shouldn't of came here on my own
Why the hell you dancing on your own your own
alone
verse 2
I showed up now
it took a minute I get it this isnt us now
we hit a limit my feeling I couldn't trust now
i seen a wall and i hit it I need to bust down
something I had enough and it was rough but
how the fuck you gonna do my like that
i fought and gave you all my love but you gone foo me like that
took a step it was more then a stance
had to take a step back from moving forward it was more then a dance
that had to be takin and all of those places we celebrated didnt make it every one of those dates had them expirations
it's the way that you can say it so easy that made me hate it
had to been waiting like a patient not seeing the limitations of the doc
it was 7oclock I couldn't stop I was lost you aint answer my call and you forgot but i showed up
but im the one that walk that plank
hard to be grown and face away when both our kids just want to play
Chorus
alone alone why the hell you tell me your alone
i probably shouldn't of came here on my own
Why the hell you dancing on your own your own
alone

I cant retire OG veteran of medicine
the element of being a felon that had to better it and settle in
the evidence and etiquette development is eminent accelerant the bettermant of letteren the resonance. anybody a real emcee?
and its definitly
A thin wire

I'mposters be a part of the monopolies
and separating all the characters apostrophe
we got to be coming together but its possible somebody meddled with the message and they blocked the peace I got the piece I got the visa reasons bleeding everything in mic when i rock the beat
I put the gloves on somebody banged and got dumped on

and my chin stay tucked with my eyes laylow

Ain't nobody here, what year, 2020 and I can see it clear
I can smell fear when the beers appear,up here we gon hang like a chandelier and see something
Look at the way it's destructing, showing everybody the case with no suspects
They can say trumps to blame so don't trust em, move like the way they do they all puppets
We gon get thru this I know
We gon change some shit I know
Let this beat breath I know
I don't want to do that tho
Chop-chop! hit em up
Sit em in a position with a commission and give em a little bit a power embed em with abolition when they taking All the living in their current condition and watching every politician make a different decision
Without anybody giving us a go for that, put the RLM on a golden rag
Where the composers at? Why he go for that? I'm a flip pare I'm supposed to snap, a fact.
I've been a little tired from the way we live in a place that claims they know
They got it all on lock and under control so you betta be locking your door
Its done before a war is not with guns the funds have all become undone
Gun is tucked from people running up my gut has got be telling me that we never got to be giving up
Got to be got be on us, got the mask and glove like murder ones on
Rest in peace to the ones that got cut off your death will not be for nothing
Pinocchio long nose mufuckas
Global war on weak infrastructures
Planet blooms when you ain't above it
Snip the strings you all puppets, King of fools.
Roll with me roll with me
I been taking up the whole city whole city
And you know the town they rose with me rose with me
Off the bridge, we rep the rose city, rose city
Realizm they gon roll with me roll with me
I been taking up the whole city whole city
And you know the town they rose with me rose with me
On my back, I rep the rose city rose city
Filipinos gonna get it the repetition is definite infinite for the battle indefinite with the benefit of living in the Tenement aiming up at the president messing with the element the evidence irrelevant
Already been a veteran and so low key, fake like you don't know peace, I be like
That ain't how it goes we all know Pinocchios
I put that on Rz

Itll be alright It could take awhile it can be delayed
When you want to smile and it's hard to lift and you feel that weight
Don't wait around imitate this sound itll be ok
Got make this loud and I'm feeling proud in every way
You did the next best thing that's what you said to me
I'm gonna say that back to you in the hardest times remember me
Nothing that you have to do, hope that you think less of me
The more you walk in gratitude you carry on what's left of me
With every single step every breath getting closer
I battled through the pain so you can bury me Souljah
And it's Rz until the grave that's what gave me my composure
Just let the music play let it give some type of closure and I been there for it
And I felt the weight of the world its all because I cared for em
And I wished it wasn't their turn and I was there to take their places
But don’t think that we aren’t in some better spaces
Gonna be waiting I'm looking to see you when you make it I’m gonna be praying for you
Just cause you can't see me now
It don't mean I'm not around
You know ima hold you down yea
Dry your eyes it will take some time, But you gon see me on the other side
Verse 2
I know it can be difficult to keep going
And believe in hope in a time when loss and heartbreak
Has been more than difficult to handle this rift between life and death
In away we meant to accept the beauty in it
And it’s up to you to find that meaning and move within it
And find your truth within it
I put my life inside these rhymes and placed my roots within it
I can see yo light it’s staying alive and giving me new directions
Feeling and holding emotions and I’m getting closer
I battled through the pain you can bury me Souljah
Its Rz until the grave that's what gave me my composure
Just let the music play let it give some type of closure
And i been there for it and i felt the weight of the world its all because i cared for em
And I wished it wasnt their turn and i was there to take their places
But don’t think that we aren’t in some better spaces
Gonna be waiting Im lookin to see you when you make it I’m gonna be praying for you
I'll be waiting you'll be patient
I'll be waiting you'll be patient
Twist them fingers to the ceiling hold them high right now
Wipe ya eyes get up you ain't done enough
Just cause you can't see me now
It don't mean I'm not around
You know ima hold you down yea
Dry your eyes it will take some time, But you gon see me on the other side

Sometimes it gets uncomfortable
Tell me what they done for you
Deep and I’m in these numbers
I was flipping up all these ones and 2s
Visions of my death
I don't know if it'll be coming soon
Been watching all my steps
Never know who you gon run into
Even when I'm stressed feeling blessed with this passion
Souljahs with automatics they know that it's automatic if they chirp me up
Even when we grounded we bounded to feel turbulence
Looking all around us the town has been something murderous
To hang with it homie wanna bang Lil homie
Maxed out caught em slippin on the gang and it gets funky
It ain't funny when yo cuddy in that casket
Lil youngins dumping we ain't talk trash cans
Eastside I am
All of us just surviving
And I really want to see that day ain't got to look in the window behind us
Got to be reppin it all of my islands dako nga bisyas
And them Rz are yatted on me many people dying silent
With that last man mentality in actuality its how we brought up
Generational scars dishonored by many honors
All in the name GOD we a product of that drama
More and more sentences after they put them commas and they lock us up
I'm in the hood and I fought for us
Another one of us misunderstood cuz he tossed it up
Lil younging stumpy for the drug he want to shoot it up his veins
Getting harder to maintain all the pain when just a couple feet away
Another mother begs and she prays for her son that passed away
Another cop shot em in broad day after that that block won't be the same
When just across the street he couldn’t get up
Another vigil from the pistol In our section
122nd I was counting all seconds over stripes
Took a risk for that come up and I almost lost my life and I paid the price for it
And I could have died but I got my life and I can't deny that we often
All got to face all of the pain talking to me audibly off of the beat
And possibly we all got to be with that feeling of coming up broke
My city been covered in tattoos my city been covered in dope
Giving some hope and I'm out in Mill Park its lit even tho it's still dark
Hard to be looking out past those steel bars and seen how art could heal hearts
And that ain't even the ill part
These circles brought me healing
I built a life on a street that coulda of killed me
Real
Circles and phases I've been
To all the places again and again
I seen broken roads in every direction but I'm still here
I'm glad that I made it I've been
Waiting and waiting for this all to end and I'm holding on
Sometimes you got to look back
I've stayed and prayed for days just to cultivate this strength
To remember and honor my ancestors and I continue on this path
I got nothing loose but you
And its true won't you step into my shoes you only knew what we been through back in the day I broke the rules I was a fool but now I choose to be that proof I'm in the booth
These seconds go by I’ve been
I've been on both sides of this road
To make the news I really had to take them losses
Posted at this stop I'm staying cautious
